What is the most money you made on one stock?

Question

How long did you have the stock? How many shares? How much did you purchase it at and how much was it when you sold it? What did you do with your earnings?

Answer 1

I made $5 per share, plus $2.05 per share on a covered call I sold on it. I had it 13 months. Total gain was a bit over 20%.

I have not decided what to do with the earnings on it yet.

Answer 2

Bought 1000 shares of IDCC in Dec 1999 @ 12.75/ share (on a tip from MSN stock message boards)

Sold 1000 shares of IDCC in Jan 2000 @ 67/ share

Profit made in less than 30 days $ 54,250.00 (YES, I LUCKED OUT!!!)

IDCC went to 82 for a high that year and when the DOT COM bust hit, it went all the way back to $4.50!!!........

I used the money for a down payment on a new home.


PS....I own IDCC again ...3500 shares @ average price of $19

it is currently 34.70/share and going to $250!

I have made in total over $100,000 profit on this one stock.

Answer 3

Ive never had any money to put into a real stock.

I cleaned up with Imclone about 4 years ago in a stock game back in school though, it was the primary reason I got a 27% return on my portfolio in 3 months.

Answer 4

Not the " most" but a great return on SIM (a small steel co. in Mex.) last year....Bought 1000 shares at $5.00, then 1000 shares at $5.38, then 500 shares at $5.90 (all last March)....then watched it climb all summer...took a little ( $ 2500. ) in OCT. Then sold all but 300 shares in Dec. at $21.23.
Some of it ended up Christmas money.... the rest is in a couple more global ETF's
