Agip was claiming the recent losses have only wiped out earnings of the last 5.5 weeks when it has in fact wiped out all earnings of the past 10 weeks.[/quote]
Ok, so what? The original point is that the recent downturn has wiped out a small time period of gains compared to the huge bull market of the last year.
