Investors Thomas and Paul invested the same amount. After the first year, the value of Thomas's investments decreased by \(5{\small{{}^\text{o}\mkern-5mu/\mkern-3mu_\text{o}}}\), but after the following year, their value increased by \(5{\small{{}^\text{o}\mkern-5mu/\mkern-3mu_\text{o}}}\). Paul's investments were more stable. After the first year, the value of his investments increased by \(2{\small{{}^\text{o}\mkern-5mu/\mkern-3mu_\text{oo}}}\), but after the second year, it decreased again by \(2{\small{{}^\text{o}\mkern-5mu/\mkern-3mu_\text{oo}}}\). Determine the true statement about the value of Thomas and Paul's investments two years after the investment.
