The most you can lose on any stock is 100% of your capital (assuming you don’t use leverage). However, if you choose a company that is truly prosperous, make over 100. for example, New Oriental Educational Technology Group Co., Ltd. (NYSE:EDU) stock has soared 140% over the past year. Most people will be very happy with this, especially if it is only for a year or less. It’s also good to see the stock price up 15% quarter-over-quarter. However, this move may have been driven by moderate market activity (up 8.5% in 90 days). On the other hand, long-term shareholders’ management has become even more difficult, and the stock price has fallen 40% in three years.
It’s been a good week for New Oriental Education & Technology Group shareholders, so let’s take a look at the long-term fundamental trend.
