I think Clearmotion has a very interesting technology and product (ride stabilization), but let's paint a full picture here: the company was founded in 2009, took on $370 million i…

Yes. But, looking at BRCM/AVGO's stock chart, I may have made a mistake.

Yes, that's the issue: the (thick) solid grey "major axis" lines on the background seemed to be a wire. If I could make a recommendation, get rid of the grid lines entirely and onl…

Acknowledged. Thanks for pointing that out.
