The most you can lose on any stock (assuming you don't use leverage) is 100% of your money. But if you pick the right stock, you can make a lot more than 100%. Take, for example Bill.com Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:BILL). Its share price is already up an impressive 188% in the last twelve months. On top of that, the share price is up 37% in about a quarter. Note that businesses generally develop over the long term, so the returns over the last year might not reflect a long term trend.
