At its peak, on April 23, 1998, the market valued it at $1.0 billion. It ended in a collapse: the last trade was $0.09, -99.7% from its split-adjusted high. The delisting record says: likely failure.

The return covers the trading days in our data only: it does not include what holders received, or lost, after the last trade (a merger payout, a bankruptcy), and it does not reach back before 1986.
