Impressive, but only $18m cash. The other $82m is in Quepasa common stock. The company hasn't even been publicly traded yet for a year, so i'm curious to see if their stock value rises or decreases over time.

I didn't even know why it was worth buying. I don't know anyone that uses it.

Yeah its a brilliant amount but I don't think that the common stock that they get is very good because the stock could possibly decrease as its not a very well known company. But 21 and $100 million.... very nice!
