	Actually, it did go up real high during the early 80s.
Then the stock split again and again and again. Commodore stock
is one of the most volatile stocks on the market that I've seen
going regularly between lows of 5-6 and highs of 20. Exactly one
year ago it was at 20. Exactly six-eight months ago it was at 4.
