OK Len, I'll help you out -

You don't solve the ROI by reducing it down to a ratio (percentage). Remember Grifco's PR that talked about a 500% increase in production? It doesn't give you any true qualatative charecterisitc of a number. Percentage is just a ratio of numbers. It relates the value in the numerate to the value in the denominate.

The right way to solve this would be

(gain from stock one + loss from stock two)/(investment in stock one+investment in stock two) = ROI

=(99+-.099)/(100-.01) = 98%

And you thought you had me didn't you. If Tampa approves it, you have to think twice about you conclusions. smile
