Stocks have been shown to have non-linear performance. At a deeper level statistical analysis has shown that gains in the stock market do not follow any known distribution such as a normal or 'bell curve' standard distribution. This means that non-parametric statistical analysis must be used to analyze the performance of such stocks.

You will notice we use the median instead of the mean to show the average % gains for stocks in our databases. The median is commonly used instead of the mean (simple average many people are used to) when analyzing non-parametric distributions that cannot be transformed into a known distribution. To use median gains for stock analysis makes sense when you consider a few basic characteristics of stocks.

First, stocks can hypothetically go up forever. However, they can only go down to zero (a careful consideration for anyone wanting to short a stock). Second, you will find some stocks are much more volatile than others. In other words, not all stocks behave in the same way. Finally, when you consider that some stocks have spiked 50% in a day, then why would we ever want to weight the 50% spike outlier with the rest of the typical data? This is where the median comes in handy since it is the middle value in the data set when sorted from smallest to largest value.
