it amazes me, page-19

"Percentage losses get higher the lower it goes."

Thanks for that lesson in maths.

Now here's another one for you. A broker once explained to me why investors should use brokers. He said:

"If you buy a share at $1.00 and it falls 50% it is 50 cents. A 50% rise will then only take it to 75 cents. So you are still losing. That is one reason why you should use brokers who are experts. Because the maths are stacked against you."

lol rofl.
