Comment on These RAM prices are out of hand

Correct, you can purchase something without the intention of it being an investment and it still ends up being profitable. It’s a pretty simple concept, friend. I don’t think doubling down is the right approach for you here. Maybe you just read it wrong?

No but I also don’t really care. I just think the language is dumb, because it is.

ROI has a more specific meaning. This wasn’t ROI by any means. They didn’t invest in anything. They bought some ram and because of inflation and high demand on ram, it’s now worth more.

It’s a stupid way to communicate, and incorrect.

Return on investment (ROI) is a financial metric used to evaluate the profitability of an investment by comparing its net income or profit to its costs. It helps businesses assess the efficiency of their investments and make informed decisions about where to allocate resources.

Using ROI when someone bought a stick of ram for their PC is ridiculous.
