When you buy shares in a company, there is always a risk that the price drops to zero. But when you pick a company that is really flourishing, you can make more than 100%. For example, the Yancoal Australia Ltd (ASX:YAL) share price has soared 162% in the last 1 year. Most would be very happy with that, especially in just one year! Also pleasing for shareholders was the 65% gain in the last three months. Looking back further, the stock price is 59% higher than it was three years ago.
While the stock has fallen 4.9% this week, it's worth focusing on the longer term and seeing if the stocks historical returns have been driven by the underlying fundamentals.
