This is probably more of a finance question and i just want to make sure im doing it right.
the question follows as.... calculate the % performance year over year for the past 1 year, past 2 years and past 3 years.
lets say the stock is AMAZON
yr 0 800
yr 1 850
yr 2 900
yr 3 950
yr 4 1000
to calculate the year over year as a % performance it would be... ((Old - new)/new)*100
or in this case...
over the past 1 years ((yr 0 - yr 1)/yr 1)*100
over the past 2 years ((yr 0 - yr 2)/yr 2)*100
over the past 3 years ((yr 0 - yr 3)/yr 3)*100
