From Penny Stocks to 1,000,000%: The Power of Long-Term Patterns
The stock market is a fascinating place.
Every person understands it differently. There are those who buy never to sell again, those who hunt for dividends or those who speculate on the intraday noise.
In my case, I like to view the market as an infinite source of opportunities to earn high returns in just a few days by capitalizing on specific chart pattern breakouts.
This perspective is often associated with short-term speculation or even luck.
But that couldnât be further from the reality!!
When we look at long-term charts, we occasionally spot unique opportunities, the kind that can truly change your life.
What better way to see this than by looking at the best-performing stocks in history?
I wonât be exhaustive, there are others with better returns in shorter windows, but Iâve selected 5 companies that will blow your mind. We are talking about returns exceeding 1,000,000%.
Yes, you read that right: a million percent return (and no, they arenât cryptos!). Whatâs more, two of them arenât even tech stocks.
Letâs dive in.
Top 5 Best Performers & Analysis
Weâll start with Netflix. It has the âsmallestâ total return on our list at 337,143%, but it also boasts the highest Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR), averaging 42% over the last 23 years.
5. Netflix (NFLX)
Return: 337,143% in 23 years (42% CAGR)
Netflix began as a DVD-by-mail service after its founder was reportedly annoyed by a $40 late fee for a VHS copy of Apollo 13. In 2000, Blockbuster famously turned down an offer to buy Netflix for just $50 millionâa move now considered one of the biggest blunders in business history. By pivoting to streaming and original content, Netflix completely redefined global entertainment.
The Analysis
Looking at the chart, the price is currently breaking below a long-standing bullish channel. It seems that, in the long term, NFLX is somewhat overheated and could be due for a correction.
A return to the âgreen zoneâ could offer magnificent buying opportunities for short-to-medium-term trades, but also for long-term investors who want to own the king of entertainment.
In the past, a Double Top break opened the door to its first major rally. Conversely, the trend break in 2021 was a major red flag. Significant money was made in a very short time by reacting to that signal.
4. Amazon (AMZN)
Return: 337,276% in 28 years (33.7% CAGR)
Jeff Bezos started Amazon in a garage as a simple online bookstore, famously using old wooden doors as desks to save on costs. After surviving the brutal 1990s dot-com crash, it evolved into the âEverything Storeâ and later invented the cloud industry with AWS. It is the ultimate example of a company that prioritizes long-term growth over short-term profits.
The Analysis
Interestingly, Amazon has a total return similar to Netflix, though it took AMZN five years longer to hit that 337,000% mark. It has traded within a very clear, well-defined bullish channel.
Today, we are in a very sweet moment to buy.
The price hit new highs and has since corrected back to previous resistance-turned-support. Buying around $190 (provided the channel doesnât break to the downside) could be a historic opportunity to add AMZN to your portfolio at a great price. Remember, you arenât just buying an online store, you are buying the massive growth of AWS.
3. NVIDIA (NVDA)
Return: 623,103% in 26 years (40% CAGR)
The three founders famously came up with the idea for NVIDIA while sitting in a booth at a Dennyâs diner. They started by perfecting graphics for video games (the GPU) before realizing their chips were perfect for mining Bitcoin and, eventually, powering the AI revolution. Today, it is the undisputed backbone of the global shift toward accelerated computing.
The Analysis
Sitting at #3 after a legendary growth run, NVDA currently looks very, very overheated.
It is touching the upper bound of its bullish channel, which usually serves as a warning that the upward room is becoming limited.
The white line (support) on the chart is the key support for deciding whether to stay long or go short. Without a doubt, the market may offer us better entry prices in the coming months than what we see today.
Itâs fascinating to see how their architectural shifts, from crypto mining to Deep Learning and now AI, have allowed NVDA to lead a massive market they essentially created themselves.
2. Altria Group (MO)
Return: 1,111,015% in 55 years (18.4% CAGR)
Formerly known as Philip Morris, Altria is often cited as the best-performing U.S. stock of the 20th century due to the power of dividend reinvestment. Despite decades of legal battles and declining smoking rates, its massive cash flow and consistent payouts have made it a legend for income investors. It serves as a reminder that âboringâ (or controversial) businesses can be incredible compounders.
The Analysis
Then we have Altria, often overlooked and perhaps even rejected by some due to the tobacco business, but its stock performance is something very few have achieved.
1,111,015% in 55 years is absolute madness and shows spectacular consistency. It has spent decades within a bullish channel that acts as a price guide.
Recently, we saw an entry signal via a Double Top breakout at the bottom of the channel. This is a wonderful technical combination that could potentially see the price double from that breakout point.
1. Monster Beverage (MNST)
Return: 1,252,454% in 30 years (36.9% CAGR)
And finally, the best of the best.
â The legend â
Originally a small juice company called Hansen Natural, it nearly went bankrupt before pivoting to energy drinks in 2002. Since then, it has delivered a staggering 1,000,000%+ return, proving you donât need to be a tech giant to dominate Wall Street. Its 2015 strategic partnership with Coca-Cola helped turn this former penny stock into a global household name.
The Analysis
In 30 years, it has delivered a 1,252,454% return to its investors. It began its journey with an Inverted Head and Shoulders pattern, signaling that something big was coming, a true rally.
But get this. Its first rally was 7,246% in just 3 years...
That is a 318% ANNUALIZED return!
Better than hitting the jackpot on the lottery. Since then, the growth has moderated, but it remains incredibly strong, moving within a more calm bullish channel that is very easy to track.
Do you know any other stock that should be in the list?
I have always focused on the short term, but would you like to see more long-term opportunities like the recent buys in Altria and Amazon, or the warning alerts on Netflix and NVIDIA?
I follow all this long-term charts to seek for long term positions, but I donât know if you want more about it or notâŚ
I hope you enjoyed this Top 5 as much as I enjoyed putting it together!
