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 MRC Global Inc. (NYSE:MRC) share price is 101% higher than it was three years ago. Most would be happy with that. It's also good to see the share price up 16% over the last quarter. This could be related to the recent financial results, released recently - you can catch up on the most recent data by reading our company report.

To paraphrase Benjamin Graham: Over the short term the market is a voting machine, but over the long term it's a weighing machine. One imperfect but simple way to consider how the market perception of a company has shifted is to compare the change in the earnings per share (EPS) with the share price movement.
用本傑明·格雷厄姆的話來說:從短期來看,市場是一臺投票機器,但從長遠來看,它是一臺稱重機。考慮市場對公司的看法發生了怎樣的變化的一種不完美但簡單的方法是將每股收益(EPS)的變化與股價走勢進行比較。
During three years of share price growth, MRC Global moved from a loss to profitability. That kind of transition can be an inflection point that justifies a strong share price gain, just as we have seen here.
在股價增長的三年中,MRC Global從虧損轉爲盈利。正如我們在這裏看到的那樣,這種轉變可能是一個轉折點,可以證明股價的強勁上漲是合理的。

A Different Perspective
不同的視角
Investors in MRC Global had a tough year, with a total loss of 9.2%, against a market gain of about 10%. Even the share prices of good stocks drop sometimes, but we want to see improvements in the fundamental metrics of a business, before getting too interested. Unfortunately, last year's performance may indicate unresolved challenges, given that it was worse than the annualised loss of 6% over the last half decade. Generally speaking long term share price weakness can be a bad sign, though contrarian investors might want to research the stock in hope of a turnaround.

MRC Global的投資者經歷了艱難的一年,總虧損9.2%,而市場漲幅約爲10%。即使是優質股票的股價有時也會下跌,但我們希望看到企業的基本指標有所改善,然後才會變得過於感興趣。不幸的是,去年的表現可能表明挑戰尚未得到解決,因爲這比過去五年來6%的年化虧損還要嚴重。總的來說,長期股價疲軟可能是一個壞兆頭,儘管逆勢投資者可能希望研究該股,希望出現轉機。在花更多時間關注MRC Global之前,明智的做法是點擊此處查看內部人士是否在買入或賣出股票。
