    Donut Media See Marauder as a Missed Opportunity for Investing

    Seems like the Donut guys like the Marauder, but feel it’s too late to jump in to make the “big bucks” trying to flip them for a profit. While I disagree (there are still many out there that don’t know what they have). They are rising in value and it’s fun to watch others outside the fold talk about it!
