$89,161 ... what assumptions are you using?

now flip a coin twelve times and tell me how often you get 12 straight HEADS ???

1 in 4096

I once knew a guy who had 7 daughters and one baby boy son
1 in 64 for 7 straight of same sex
1 in 128 for 7 straight daughters
very rare family, never met another like in my whole life

I would conclude that 12 straight winners is more rare
than this guy's family makeup

you said you had a losing trade with JDSU recently
so why talk about 12 straight 20% gainers ?

if I went to Foxwoods in Connecticut and made a $1000 every day for three years,
I would be a millionaire again

just what fallacy are you promoting on expected gains ?
