RE:RE:#1NSP poster Divot doesn't own NSP, cluelessI literally made that long post because you are absolutely clueless and it would be funny if you weren’t literally serious in not understanding basic math. Here is an example that you absolutely won’t understand, however I will attempt to force it into your completely and hilariously clueless mind;
If you purchase a security at $1 and it goes to 1000, you would calculate your gain as a 99900. % correct? (Many would say +10,000.% gain)
Ok if you go in reverse (loss rather than gain) and purchased the stock at $1000 and it declines to $1, that would be represented at -.999%. Correct? (many round to -1000%). As when you decline the percentile loss goes to the right of the decimal which the first zero is ‘tenths’, second zero is ‘hundredths’ and the third zero is ‘thousandths’.
Ok so if you can’t contemplate that, the next part is really, really going to confuse the absolute hell out of you;
Using the same simple mathematics, only adjusting the number to a security purchase of $100,000 per share and a decline to $1 a share, what do you end up with? You will not know, however it would equate to a percentile decline of ~ -.00001% decline. Which is an exponential percentile decline when compared to the prior example which equated to -.001%. A -.00001% decline / loss would mean a percentile decline to the hundred thousandth.
I know right now you are completely lost.. I understand and accept that, however this basic math is correct and accepted by society whether you can effectively search for it on google or not, it’s fact based in math.
Now, your favourite little tool; ‘on line calculators’ would simple calculate you’ve lost your money as (-100%), they don’t go more than 1 or 2 digits right (negative) of the decimal at best and many don’t go to the right of the decimal at all, they just round it to a 100% loss.
IF you cannot accept and realize the math equations above, it simply means you aren’t intelligent enough and I truly cannot help you if this isn’t a clear enough. Profit and loss are realized on opposite sides of the decimal (.) and I truly feel you have no grasp of basic mathematics.
To back up the math the digits to the right side (or negative /loss) of the decimal begin with ‘tenths’, ‘hundredths’, ‘thousandths’, ‘ten thousandths’ and ‘hundred thousandths’ – now, I’m not making this up, I wish I could have discovered this for the world however it was discovered/ made popular sometime in the 1600’s by mathematician named Johann Heinrich Rahn.
If you are handy with Wikipedia and/or google to prove this math as being accepted and factual, search for ‘exponential gain / loss or the AdaBoost algorithm for modern day computations. In you’re mind as I’ve gathered there is only exponential gain represented as a percentile, however science and math verify, percentile loss/gain work both to the positive and negative. Although you have no conceptual understanding of it, does not mean that it doesn’t exist.
Upon going over a gain or loss of an exponent of 100, you must represent this percentile past the 3rd digit to the right of the decimal and over 2 digits to the left of the decimal. I understand this is far, far beyond your comprenhension.
Just because you cannot understand the absolute basics of math and ramble on about it not being on ‘google’, simply means you cannot operate google either.
To be absolutely honest, beating you down isn’t as fun as I truly am starting to believe you simply can’t grasp this.. I’m more about exposing bashers that have no skin in the game (which you are) rather than beating down on someone not mentally capable.. I had originally thought you were trying to weasel out of getting bested, however, if at this point you seriously don’t understand, there is not much more I can do to make you see basic math.
Now, for someone that literally has only documented investment losses, you’d think you would have a better understanding of the percentile right of the decimal. Literally, sit down, you’ve been owned, you simply make yourself look absolutely clueless with every single and multiple posts on this board. An intelligent and logical person would take this opportunity to vacate and be on your way ..but you’re not intelligent or logical, so you’ll stick around, doubting basic mathematics and bashing a stock you have now share ownership in and likely are disgruntled because you lost money in NSP, while many of us have made money multiple times in NSP and are currently in the green on NSP and you’re green with envy and stupidity.
