A year of buying GS
Over the last 74 days GS closed between $885.36 (October 8, 2026) and $1,063.6 (August 5, 2026). One hundred dollars put in at the low would be worth $101 today; at the high, $84. The current price $898.12 is above 4 of those 74 daily closes, so a purchase on a random day of that stretch would be in profit 5% of the time — fees aside.
A typical day moves GS by 1.9%: a $1,000 position swings about $19 a day.
