No, I know what I'm talking about fellows. You are thinking like a long. Return on Invesment can easily exceed 100% from a short perspective if the price goes down because his investment is established where he covers.

(It's impossible to have an infinite return btw.)

You have to think backwards. Bottom line is what you invest vs what you keep.

Return on Investment = (Gain-cost)/Investment

You make $99.90 on a $0.10 investment, you made considerably more than 100%.
