There are absolutely lots of people that don't understand that down 50% and up 80% means you just lost 10%.

For anyone who’s like me (where math and I are not friends), if you start with $1 and drop 50%, that’s 50¢

Go up 80% from 50¢ and you’re at 90¢

Your original $1 is now worth 90¢.

Yeah, my stocks are almost back to where they were at the beginning of the year, and it's almost 100% due to Trump messing w/ tariffs. I'm not rich or anything, but seeing my retirement savings fluctuate at Trump's whims doesn't feel great.
