Did You Miss Billion Electric's (TPE:3027) Impressive 149% Share Price Gain?

The most you can lose on any stock (assuming you don't use leverage) is 100% of your money. But if you pick the right stock, you can make a lot more than 100%. For example, the Billion Electric Co., Ltd. (TPE:3027) share price had more than doubled in just one year - up 149%. On top of that, the share price is up 14% in about a quarter. But this could be related to the strong market, which is up 15% in the last three months. It is also impressive that the stock is up 117% over three years, adding to the sense that it is a real winner.
