Okay, Tim! If my numbers are wrong then where did you get your numbers to come up with your percentages? Do you understand the question? Tim, I would love to get you in a poker game! I always want my competition to think they are going away a winner. Under your way of calculating let me give you the real world. You enter a poker game with $950 dollars and you play three hands when you decide to take YOUR winnings and go home. By the end of the second hand you have turned your $950 into a stake of $3421 dollars, a cool percentage gain of 341%. However, in the third hand you lose $2647, for a lost of 25%. So tell me what percentage of the original $950.00 stake you had, did you take home with you? Was your spouse happen with you when you showed her your 'winnings'?
