kukpaboy! I don't want to pull ur leg, but if your mathematics is that poor, you won't do good in stocks. " MAT currently trading at around $23 .... just 5 months ago it was at $30.. so if u BUY $10,000 worth right now and assuming price goes back up to $30.. your profit = $70,000 " You will only make around $3043 minus brokerage fees, not $70,000 !!!
