Today's price and the 'expected' future price is all that matters. The 90% lifetime price history is not relevant. All transactions of this nature are based on future value. The offer is only an 18% premium at a time when many tech stocks are being hammered due to extrinsic reasons. It is not a serious offer.

I take it you're highly invested in Twitter stock given how confident you are it's going to go up by more than 20%?

Today's price is the expected future price. If you disagree, go buy the stock and make some money.

It closed $.18 above initial offer price in 2013.

The share price tells you nothing by itself—you also need to know the amount of shares outstanding at both points in time to make an actual comparison.
