Cray (CRAY) Hits Two $20 Bills

Cray (CRAY) it $40.00 today (02016.01.29). CRAY went public on 01995.09.27 at $21.50. I'm tempted to sell some CRAY at $43.00, but won't. It has taken at least 20 years, 4 months, 2 days (and counting) for CRAY to double. Cray does supercomputing and big data. Supercomputing is required to morph large quantities into information. #Informatics
