When the stock reached $170-odd at its peak, I don't believe the acquisition price reflected that later. A friend of mine had a friend who joined Netscape on the $170 day--their vesting price. D'oh. (Oddly, I can't find stock performance on any of the stock sites--they apparently can store indefinite information about trading stock, but not delisted or sold stocks.)</p> I’m not sure I agree with Marc on EVERY shareholder.
