return on investment - absolute return
http://www.youtube.com/embed/qsK8Z6iiA2o UTI "When investments with different amounts are to be compared, it may be misleading to compute return as the difference between sale price and purchase price. It is better to compute simple or absolute return, which computes return as a percentage. This video is a part of the 'Money Math' series and shows how to compute absolute return."
