For things like stock movement the percent or ratio should always be calculated by dividing the small number by the big number. Then you get consistent results similar to a stock losing half it's value then doubling to get back to where it started. Doing the percentage calculation your way (the normal way) distorts the result. For example a stock loses 90% then rebounds to the original amount. Your way 90% loss, 1000% gain. My way 90% loss, 90% gain. bob bobmiller@usa.com The way percentages on an up and down base have always been calculated is a useful but misleading way.
