<<Hello - Bankruptcy for who ? Myself or the company ? I meant 500% increase in profits vs 100% drop in profits...... Buy @ 100, current price 600 - drop back to 500 or 400 Make sense at all ? HG>> No , it doesn't make sense. Maybe what you meant to say, was that you wouldn't be bothered if it went down 100 POINTS, not 100 percent. Using your hypothetical example: If you bought at 100 a share and it went to 600 that would be a 600% increase. If it drops 100% it drops to zero. If your profits drop 100% the stock would drop to 100. If the stock dropped from 600 to 500 that would be about 17% drop.
