The bad thing about using percentage statements is that they sound incredibly large.

Essentially, whack the last 2 zeros off of a percentage declaration (since % means: portion of 100) to get an actual "value multiplier". IE: a 10,000% profit would equal a profit statement of 100 X (times) your investment. 10,000 minus 2 zeros = 100. $1 invested turns into $100.

I just had to throw that out there because to me (and I don't imagine that I am alone), % statements have a tendency to be percieved incorrectly.

That is my irrelevant post for the day.

Have a good one Y'all
