Investors Who Bought Wizz Air Holdings (LON:WIZZ) Shares Three Years Ago Are Now Up 113%

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 when you pick a company that is really flourishing, you can make more than 100%. For instance the Wizz Air Holdings Plc (LON:WIZZ) share price is 113% higher than it was three years ago. How nice for those who held the stock! It's down 1.4% in the last seven days.
