Don't Lose Money in Your Investments

If your investment balance dropped 50%, what has to happen to

get it back to where it started? 

IT HAS TO DOUBLE to get back where it was.

Say today you have $1,000 invested, market drops 50%, so now you have $500.

Tomorrow the market goes up 50%. So your $500 goes up 50%, that puts your investment at $750, not back to $1,000, so even though the market is back where it was you are still down $250.

You lose money twice as fast as you make money in the market!
