The most you can lose on any stock (assuming you don't use leverage) is 100% of your money. But on the bright side, if you buy shares in a high quality company at the right price, you can gain well over 100%. Long term Materion Corporation (NYSE:MTRN) shareholders would be well aware of this, since the stock is up 186% in five years. On top of that, the share price is up 29% in about a quarter.
