oh for heavens sakes. There is a formula.

How to figure out your % of gains

Take your SP or selling price (or current price in this case)

divided it by your PP or purchase price.

subtract one

multiply by 100.

equals percentage gain.
***************************************************************

example: sp/pp (-1) x 100

so

.24 (current) divided by .08(purchase or old low) = 3

subtract 1 = 2

multiply by 100 = 200 0r 200%

At an even price it's Rather simple to just figure wegi in ones head but now it's at .231

so

.231/.08 (-1) x 100 = 189% from it's low

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness;

-- Charles Dickens
