MATH 101
With apologies to all.

get yourself a calculator.
type in 44 - 7 ($sell - $ buy)
got 37 right? $profit (provided its 1999 compliant)
hit the / key
type in 7 ($buy)
got 5.285714285714
hit the * key
type in 1 0 0
then the = key
got 528.28....

well that's the % I made on DW's stock tip SKYM.

I had the courtesy not to correct your math in my previous reply but here it is now seeing as you are a wanker.

ok hit ce (to clear the calc)

type in 15.125 ($sell)
then the minus key
then 11.5 ($buy)
you get 3.625 (your profit)
then the / key
then 11.5 ($buy)
then the = sign
then * 100
then =
got 31.52173913043 right?

SO YOU SEE YOU ONLY MADE A MEASLY 31.52 %(NOT 74%) ON GBIX AND I MADE 528% ON SKYM.

PS got to go now , church early in the am.
PPS not sure what your paper boy has to do with all this but I hope he increases your bill by a $ amount and not a % amount.
Also you do realize that the SI code of ethics is such that if you slag the host of the thread and their pick skyrockets (e.g. SKYM)you have to publicly apologize.(very embarrassing to say the least), not that I'm saying you can't say negative things on a thread, just have the guts to say them direct and not through inferrence.

again my apologies to all.
