When you buy shares in a company, there is always a risk that the price drops to zero. On the other hand, if you find a high quality business to buy (at the right price) you can more than double your money! For example, the iSignthis Ltd (ASX:ISX) share price had more than doubled in just one year - up 255%. It's also good to see the share price up 87% over the last quarter. And shareholders have also done well over the long term, with an increase of 178% in the last three years.

Given that iSignthis didn't make a profit in the last twelve months, we'll focus on revenue growth to form a quick view of its business development. Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually expect strong revenue growth. That's because it's hard to be confident a company will be sustainable if revenue growth is negligible, and it never makes a profit.
Over the last twelve months, iSignthis's revenue grew by 222%. That's a head and shoulders above most loss-making companies. And the share price has responded, gaining 255% as we previously mentioned. That sort of revenue growth is bound to attract attention, even if the company doesn't turn a profit. Given the positive sentiment around the stock we're cautious, but there's no doubt its worth watching.
