Re:Hedge fund Melvin sustains 53% loss after Reddit onslaught by graeme on Sunday January 31, 2021 @09:44PM (#25984976)
Yeah equivalent percentage losses cost more than gains.

Starting from 100, if you swing 50% up 50% down you get: 150, 75, 112.5, 56.25, 84.375, 42.18, 63.28, 31.64....

You need a 100% gain to make up for a 50% loss.
