>>? Each added 1000 represents a smaller growth in percentage. I would not classify that view as absurd. Trying to understand scales is not wrong in my book and for investments growth factor is important.
Yes, but that's using % for fake news, to minimize achievement.
"My company reached its highest earnings ever this year!"
"So what? Each additional $100000 of income is a smaller growth percentage, so not so impressive."
Actually, each additional $100000 represents a wee bit more than a sour mathematical scoff.
Bearing in mind that some predicted that the stock market would never recover from Trump, this is just another way of insisting that every silver lining has 1000 clouds to rain on the parade.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
