"at sp $2.78,they are about 100% higher than what they will be towards the end of 2015."

"sorry look and see,but the $2.78 means that in 12 months time it could be half of $2.78,which equates to $1.39 sp.100% gain on an end of year sp $1.39 gives you todays sp of $2.78.anyway ,sorry to be so pedantic,"



Dear Crazy,
I was thinking that looks more like "retarded" than "pedantic"!


If $2.78 was truly 100% higher then what it will be, then 100% lower would be $0.

50% of $2.78 is $1.39?? SO!

100% of $1.39 is $1.39
