Edit: Well, at least it doubled. The two dollar low was honestly a year back before that.
How's that stock looking these days? I hear Microsoft is selling the last remnants of what it bought from Nokia. Well, there goes the final remnants of Nokia's old phone business after Stephen Elop performed an expert job of driving that company into the ground for Microsoft (his old employer) to buy it up cheap, only to eventually figure out he did far too good a job of devaluing it right into the ground. I dub this the final act of what I like to call the "Elop Flop."
