Let's say he had $100 to his name

>sold goat for $70, now has $110
>bought again for $80, now has $30
>sold goat for $90, now has $120
So he made $20, right?

But if I look at the buys and sells, and reset the original amount of money to match the highest buying price, what do we get?

>starts with $80
>buys goat for $60, has $20 left
>sells it for $70, now has $90
>buys it back for $80, now has $10
>sells it again for $90, now has $100
alright, so $20 in profit again.

but what about

>man only has $60 to his name
>buys goat for $60, now has no money
>sell it for $70, now has $70
>Buys it back for $80 after borrowing $10 from a friend, now owes friend $10
>sells the goat again for $90, now has $90
>pays $10 back to the friend who loaned him money
>now has $80
$20 in profit again

OR

if we're counting the amount of money he COULD'VE made if he had just held onto the goat (bought at $60, sold at $90 for $30 of profit), he technically lost $10 of potential profit. Nonetheless, in reality he still made $20 in profit.

I'm I retarded? I just typed this out as I thought through it

Donuts could be used to pay jannies/mods? Not sure how to feel about that.
