This is an overview of companies that made a discovery and their share performance from the moment of the discovery.
In some cases the discovery hole or discovery event is very obvious, in other cases deciding on the "moment of the discovery" is more difficult. But what this overview shows is that if you get it right, and you invest in an actual discovery, the returns can be amazing.
