It might seem bad, but the worst that can happen when you buy a stock (without leverage) is that its share price goes to zero. But in contrast you can make much more than 100% if the company does well. For example, the Revoil S.A. (ATH:REVOIL) share price has soared 113% in the last three years. That sort of return is as solid as granite. We note the stock price is up 1.5% in the last seven days.
