My desperate stock

Before

Baidu.com = 15
Walt Disney = 70
Sohu.com = 60

baidu.com = $263.50 = $263.50 x 15 = 3952
sohu.com = $58.90 x 60 = $3534
disney = $32.53 x 70 = $2277

Total = $9763

After
baidu.com = $118.57 x 15 = 1778.55
sohu.com = $44.20 x 60 = 2652.00
disney = $21.46 x 70 = 1502.2

Total = 5932.75

I have lost about 39%!! :(
