Somebody please explain how these figures/statistics make sense.
*According to below % figures, if Joe invests $100 for 10 shares and incurs a 50% loss, he is left with total 10 shares worth $50. Hence, each share was initially worth $10 each but now each share is $5. So Joe needs to see a 100% increase in market price, or doubling of the share value, to see his money break even? Is this what it means?
