Shares of stock are sold down to the 1/8th of a share:
1/8 = .1252/8 = .2503/8 = .3754/8 = .5005/8 = .6756/8 = .7507/8 = .875
Important note: The Rate of Return is found by taking the daily gain or loss and dividing by the original investment of $25,000, then multiplying by 100 to put it in percentage terms.  You want to know how your investment is doing in terms of the orginal investment NOT in terms of the previous day.
