Question:
❓If your investment loses half its value, how much would it need to grow just to break even?
A) 50%
B) 75%
C) 100%
D) 150%
Answer:
✅ C) 100%
Here’s why:
When you lose 50%, you’re starting from a smaller base—so you need a bigger gain to make up the same dollar amount.
If $10,000 drops to $5,000, a 50% gain only gets you to $7,500.
You’d need a 100% gain to get back to $10,000.
That’s why protecting what you have matters just as much as growing it.
The deeper the drop, the harder it is to climb back. Slow and steady growth may not sound exciting—but it keeps you moving forward.
