Nota bene (note well). Even intelligent people sometimes error in computing percentage gain. So to refresh: one buys stock at 1 and it goes to 2 and then to 3. At 2 it has doubled but the percentage gain is 100%. At 3 we say it has tripled but the percentage gain is 200%. We're computing the percentage gain from 1.

I invested in this company in spring of 2011 and I want to thank especially fairchij and oogee for their supportive posts during the dark times. I never forgot fairchij writing in 2011 that one wouldn't need a lot of shares to do well. I believed it then and now. Truly grateful, FC.
