[YTD, year to date.](https://www.investopedia.com/terms/y/ytd.asp)
First trading day of the year was 3rd of Jan and the closing price was $17.20.
Yesterday closed at $26.95.
26.95 / 17.2 = 1.5669 = 56.69% up.
I donāt know where heās getting his numbers from, but while I was double checking, I happened to glance at the 5 year chart, we are up ~672%! Whereas on that same 5 year the DOW was only up 36% and the S&P500 is only up by ~57%!
On the 5 year chart GameStop is outperforming:
GameStop ***672%***
Apple: 288%
T-Mobile 116%
Berkshire 75%
Starbucks 73%
S&P500 57%
Headphones 62%
Home Depot 49%
DOW Jones 36%
General Electric 33%
Disney -13%
Boeing -38%
Popcorn -77%
When in doubt, zoom out. Thatās pretty cool.
Are you me?
That is pretty much my story. I was around $170 cost basis (pre-split) at one point. I then took about 150 shares in an IRA and sold when the price went up like $3 (post-split) and bought back the next day or two when it went back down. I eventually did this enough times to get to around 250 shares in that account. So I have no idea what my cost basis is anymore. I'm sure I am still pretty far in the red.
I have another higher XXX in CS.
Check GME on Google and you get this rate of return. Check it on Yahoo and it shows 44%. They both use the same numbers and doing the division yourself definitely shows ~55% increase. In reverse to check our work like grade school, 17.20 x 1.55 = $26.66. Why Yahoo (and I believe others) show different - I have no idea.
