Some one I know does nothing but trade SNY. Buys at 38 and sells at 42. (Look at the one year chart.) Oooh I love those. Off to look at the chart.... Oscillating stocks. Years ago, Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF:NYSE) used to be like that with a seasonal wave. Money machine.

Doctors and press release writers often get a1c and "reduction in a1c" confused. 8% could mean an a1c of 8 or a reduction in a1c of 8%. I read the abstract and it's an 8% drop not an A1c of 8. POSITIVE!!!

In the past (maybe not here) i have seen a drop in a1c from 8% to 7% be referred to as a drop of 1%. Medical percentages are sometimes different than mathematical percentages when the value of interest starts off as a percentage of something else. Very confusing (at least for me.) There doesn't seem to be a standard way of reporting results.

There doesn't seem to be a standard way of reporting results. ANY time percentages are reported, you have to look at the context to see what is meant. That is Statistics 101.
