Tim,I think one more time throwing the circuit breaker will get a full supply of electricity to the light bulb.

"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%.

In that case, you come back with $774, for a net total loss of $176 or about eighteen and a half percent.

But your in error when you say "you lose $2647, for a lost of 25%. A loss of $2647 from a base of $3421 is a loss of almost 77.4%."

As you now very clearly admit, you have a net loss on the DJIA during the Reagan and Bush's administration. Was that hard for you to finally admit it?

As for this...."But your in error when you say "you lose $2647, for a lost of 25%. A loss of $2647 from a base of $3421 is a loss of almost 77.4%."

Tim, the amount lost under Bush II on the DJIA was 2647 points, a loss of about 25%. How hard is that for you to understand when you just admit that the DJIA loss a net of $176 during the Reagan and Bush terms. So why don't you just tell me how you can have a net loss for a given period of time, but then you think you had a net gain
