If I buy a stock for $100.00 and it appreciates to $200.00, what is the best formula to calculate the % increase?
(200-100)/100
or
(200-100)/((200-100)/2)

I vote for the 1st option. But most investors should be more interested in the % annual increase rather than the % increase. Time is of critical importance. What you should be interested in is the annual increase.
Therefore, ((current price - purchase price)/purchase price) / (holding period/ 365)

200 - 100 = 100 dollars profit on an investment of 100, therefore what percentage profit is 100 over 100. Formula: 100 over 100 X 100 = 100%
