UBIVELOX (KOSDAQ:089850) Shareholders Booked A 78% Gain In The Last Year

If you want to compound wealth in the stock market, you can do so by buying an index fund. But if you pick the right individual stocks, you could make more than that. To wit, the UBIVELOX Inc (KOSDAQ:089850) share price is 78% higher than it was a year ago, much better than the market return of around 39% (not including dividends) in the same period. That's a solid performance by our standards! However, the stock hasn't done so well in the longer term, with the stock only up 20% in three years.
