It's only the same if it's up 10% compared to the original number. It all depends on your time period, you could be up 30% compared to 7 years ago.

MODERATORS
Tesla stock prices are good example of this. They are down ~50% since december and up ~70% since lowest point in april last year.
This is why in forecasting and time series analysis is used the log difference, a 10% increase or decrease on the log scale gives you the same value being added or removed.

Multiplication is commutative dipshits.
A x B = B x A
So 1.1 x .9 is always going to be .99, regardless of the order. Didn’t we learn this in like middle school?
(Edit … to be clear I’m calling the people in the image dipshits, not the people commenting here).
Huh? We're talking about percentages not multiplication. Where'd the 1.1 and .9 come from?
