Quick percentage question...
I hate percentages.
If I buy something for 60,000 and sell it for 800,000, what's the percentage profit?

Well you made 740k and as mentioned above 60k would have been 100% profit so on that note i say 1233 & 1/3 % profit in my eyes.

I think you'll find a lot of people will differ on what their base line is, depending on what point they're trying to make, some stating say 60k > 120k as 100% profit and others as 200% profit. I think there are other ways of doing it too, again, depending on what you're wanting to show.
It's one of those things where the actual calculations aren't hard, it's just deciding what is the appropriate calculation to be doing.

That was my first thought too, but I'm leaving the options open.
