How to Insure Those One-Day Triple-Digit Gains

How do single-day stock gains of 40%, 50%, 75%, 100%, or even more sound? If you're anything like me, they sound pretty darn great.

Those kinds of gains happen almost every day, but the mainstream financial media would much rather focus on Facebook's 0.5% jump forward on some new VR breakthrough, or Alphabet's top line beat sending the stock up 2%, say.
