How many years is “years ago”?
So if you do the math - to get 1000% from $100 to $1000 then you would have to start on or about 3/6/2009 - which is less than one year ago. Were it 10 years ago, the appreciation would be 25.9%.
Yeah yeah, get a life. (Like Cathy’s) But the math in today’s strip is just wrong.
Even if you take simple appreciation, 100 to 1000 is 900%.
