So Iris, are you saying you were posing a rhetorical question and you don't know how to punctuate it? Although you are not alone in this, your rhetorical question does not elicit a "yes, of course response". Had I miss-intended the word elicit with illicit, we would be back to referencing bad grammer. I think you know very well what your comments intended and that was to disparage ONEV, the stock price. My read on Dumotier's comments about the stock price was that "it is what it is, nothing more".

"Punctuation
In the 1580s, English printer Henry Denham invented a "rhetorical question mark" for use at the end of a rhetorical question; however, it died out of use in the 1600s. It was the reverse of an ordinary question mark, so that instead of the main opening pointing back into the sentence, it opened away from it.[2]

Some have adapted the question mark into various irony marks, but these are very rarely seen."
