I'm confused, did yahoo stock value peak before you turned 18 years old or something?

Yes. I was 16 or 17 when it was at its peak, thus unable to sell without my mom’s permission. The e-trade account was a custodial account; the shares belonged to me but the account was controlled by my mom. When I did sell years later it was for $45 or something a share.
