minus-square@Valmond@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink13•4 days agoTrump: ok so stocks went down 50% because of me, but look since then it’s up 80% !!! Maga crowd: Yess, wooow!!!
minus-square@Geth@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilink22•4 days agoThere are absolutely lots of people that don’t understand that down 50% and up 80% means you just lost 10%.
minus-square@AtariDump@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink9•4 days agoFor anyone who’s like me (where math and I are not friends), if you start with $1 and drop 50%, that’s 50¢ Go up 80% from 50¢ and you’re at 90¢ Your original $1 is now worth 90¢.
minus-square@sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilink3•4 days agoYeah, my stocks are almost back to where they were at the beginning of the year, and it’s almost 100% due to Trump messing w/ tariffs. I’m not rich or anything, but seeing my retirement savings fluctuate at Trump’s whims doesn’t feel great.
