Brian, thank you for catching my error. I was fooled by the distortion of the log scale. Here are the numbers... 24 July 1996 low $ 5.43750 20 August 1997 high 27.09375 gain = 21.65625 08 October 1998 low 10.78125 loss = 16.3125 28 April 2000 high 105.93750 gain = 95.15625 21 December 2000 low 34.12500 loss = 71.8125 [gain and loss above refer to the previous price directly above] Loss as % of previous gain [riding the stock from bottom to top and to bottom again] loss/gain = 16.3125/21.65625 = 75 % as of 08 Oct 1998 loss/gain = 71.8125/95.15625 = 75 % as of 21 Dec 2000 Gottfried
