Shareholders Are Thrilled That The Envela (NYSEMKT:ELA) Share Price Increased 271%
Unfortunately, investing is risky - companies can and do go bankrupt. But when you pick a company that is really flourishing, you can make more than 100%. For example, the Envela Corporation (NYSEMKT:ELA) share price has soared 271% return in just a single year. Also pleasing for shareholders was the 21% gain in the last three months. However, the longer term returns haven't been so impressive, with the stock up just 8.5% in the last three years.
