Hi, try to start with 10.000$ in the imaginary bank and then do the transactions. Then subtract 10.000$ from the final value and you have the answer. :)

Thanks CQ,

The 10 Investment Ratios - do you have a version of that table which shows what is a good and poor ratio? i.e. Screen for companies with Gross Margins greater than XX% etc. I could glean this off your many other articles and I know metrics vary between industries, but thought Id ask. Thanks and regards.
