100 to 600 is a 500% increase, not 600%.

We just had different perspectives...said the same things. <<<If you bought at 100 a share and it went to 600 that would be a 600% increase.>>> 500% - but that's okey. <<<If it drops 100% it drops to zero>>> Drops to 500 my original investment has a 400% increase. Someone is still rich. Could have made 500%. <<If the stock dropped from 600 to 500 that would be about 17% drop>> Stock price movement is relative to where one enters. That is why people enter at different points. And profits drops as we agree, by 100%. It does make sense...to me at least.
