When the stock market falls, the media always cites the drop in terms of how many dollars the drop was. "Dow dropped $439," it will tell us.
When it rises the media will tell us what the percentage of rise was. "Dow rose 1.39%," is the headline.
Would it surprise you to know that the huge drop of $439 and the miniscule rise of 1.39% are precisely the same amount?
