It's only once you compare the performance of Twitter to other tech shares and realize the last 12 years were the biggest tech bull market in history. And Twitter shows zero return.

It's not just tech--the entire market has been on fire since the Twitter IPO. The S&P has risen 150%.

Doesn't help their user base largely stopped growing in 2015 while their competitors are in the billions.

To put it in perspective, if you invested $10k in TWTR in 2013, I invested $10k in GOOG, and Mary invested $10k in AMZN - you'd have $9k, I'd have $55k, and Mary would have $90k

Those ratios are too close to Jesus's "Parable of the Talents". (A "Talent" was a huge sum of silver in the Biblical / Roman days). One investor brought back 10 Talents, another brought back 5, and one brought back 1.

Probably just a coincidence to to round numbers and such, but it amuses me.

Or is it? Maybe Jesus knew how Twitter would turn out in 2022. /s
