Does it bother anyone else that losses are exponential but gains are linear?

no, i'm actually pretty happy about the fact that my portfolio pulled a -97% since january. i'm now 60% below my initial investment. it was a healthy and much-needed correction.

Other way round faggot. Losses are linear, you can only lose 100% of your initial investment.

Gains on the other hand compound. You can make 100%, then make another 100% which is effectively 4x your initial and so on and so fourth. The gains are potentially infinite, whereas the losses are at most 100%z

It's all exponential you wally, apply the log scale and zoom out.
