At the time it went public, a two for one stock split had occurred, so you could have anywhere from six shares up to twenty.

(...) Wish I could sell them right now." My wife and I both signed up back in '98 but she cannot remember her email address either. I'm writing the company to see if we can provide some other proof of identification. You should at least send them a letter, what can it hurt? I however _do_ remember my email address :-) I'm going to transfer my 8 stocks to my broker, currently valued at $49.14 each. As my grandfather used to say, that's a neat 49 percent profit :-D :-D :-D John said: “I don’t even remember the e-mails back in 98 with which I used to register my shares.

Problem is, I don't even remember the e-mails back in 98 with which I used to register my shares. TZOO went through the roof in the last few days. Wish I could sell them right now.
