to almost 200 times the average price of the DOW portfolio of 30 stocks. I am using my phone and when I went to the link the top part was cut off and I didn’t see Onion. I thought I was really seeing some new information. When the other colors of lines came I thought nothing introduced that many variables. That’s when I saw “The Onion”. Pretty good.
