Percent Profit † This is your profit or loss expressed as a percentage of your original investment and including the cost of your brokerage commission. If you bought 1,000 shares of a stock at $10, paid a $100 commission and saw the shares rise to $14, your percentage would be 39.6 percent. † ©CBS MarketWatch
