Ole Captain Kirk must be bumming out ......

Company filings said that he had been given warrants for 65,000 shares of the stock. Those shares were worth about $10.7 million soon after the company's initial public offering, but Shatner said lock-up rules prevented him from selling at that point.
He picked the wrong moment to unload them. Shatner said he sold all those shares around the time that the stock bottomed out in value a few years later, and that he never bought additional shares.
Even with a reverse 1-for-6 split that the company implemented in 2003, that stake would be worth about $5.6 million today if he had held onto the shares.

I heard William Shatner made a fortune on this.
When he started advertising for them they paid him with stock options.
At that time the stock was worth less then 10 a share.
He has made 10x more money doing 30 second spots for PL then his entire acting career combined.

So if he held onto the stock, it would have been worth $41,051,400?
65,000 X 631.56?
