When stocks go down 20% & then up 20% are you back to even?
No you're not, assume have $1000 & they go down 20% you have $800, up 20% or $160 you have $960.
Let's go the other way: $1000 becomes $1200 but down 20%($240) you get to $960.
How about 50%; $1000 to $500 then to $750 other case $1000 to $1500 down to $750.
Doesn't seem fair does it?
