Did You Miss Karora Resources' (TSE:KRR) Impressive 285% Share Price Gain?
The worst result, after buying shares in a company (assuming no leverage), would be if you lose all the money you put in. But when you pick a company that is really flourishing, you can make more than 100%. For example, the Karora Resources Inc. (TSE:KRR) share price has soared 285% in the last three years. Most would be happy with that. Also pleasing for shareholders was the 13% gain in the last three months. But this move may well have been assisted by the reasonably buoyant market (up 8.7% in 90 days).
