If you’re a milk tea lover and spend about 55,000 VND a day, from January 2, 2025 to August 13, 2025, you would have spent over 12.3 million VND on this beverage. Imagine if instead of buying milk tea, you invested that money in stocks; the outcome would be completely different. The stock Gelex Electric (GEE) has grown by 372%, turning your 12.3 million VND into 58.2 million VND with a net profit of over 45 million VND. Choosing the parent company Gelex (GEX) which rose 200% would give you 36.9 million VND. Stocks from Vingroup (VIC) and Vinhomes (VHM) also offer high returns (186% and 132%). At the very least, you’d have enough money to buy a new iPhone. However, stock investing is always risky, and no one can guarantee they will pick successful stocks. This illustrates the lesson about small expenses and their opportunity cost.
