The one-year returns have been solid for Shineco (NASDAQ:TYHT) shareholders despite underlying losses increasing

Unfortunately, investing is risky - companies can and do go bankrupt. But when you pick a company that is really flourishing, you can make more than 100%. For example, the Shineco, Inc. (NASDAQ:TYHT) share price had more than doubled in just one year - up 189%. And in the last month, the share price has gained 108%. On the other hand, longer term shareholders have had a tougher run, with the stock falling 9.5% in three years.
