Goodness, what a wipeout. There was a whole slew of companies based on the business model of Giving Your Electric Car a Place to Charge. Brilliant, fellas. Anyway, this stock has gone from $1,565 a quarter century ago to THREE BUCKS. This zoomed-in chart just shows the recent activity.
We can add General Motors (GM) to the long, long, long list of put positions I wish I had just kept.
