>You need a gain of one hundred percent to overcome a loss of fifty percent.

Huh? Please explain how this works. Is this New Math or something?

I think what you're saying is... if you lose 50% on an investment, you then need to gain 100% from that point in order to break even on that very same investment.

If that's correct, please send the a prize for solving your riddle.

Frank :-)
