Let’s say you’re a self-proclaimed boba tea enthusiast, treating yourself to a daily cup from your favorite brands, averaging 55,000 VND per cup. From the first workday of the year (2/1/2025) until today (13/8/2025), you’ve gone through 224 days, spending over 12.3 million VND.
Now, imagine a different scenario. Instead of indulging in boba tea, you invest that exact amount of 12.3 million VND in the stock market during the past seven months.
With the top-performing and highly liquid stocks listed below, your boba tea money could have doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled.
The champion among these stocks is Gelex Electric (GEE). If you had invested all your boba tea money into this stock, with its impressive 372% growth, your initial 12.3 million VND would have turned into nearly 58.2 million VND . That’s a profit of over 45 million VND – enough to buy yourself a brand new motorbike!
Even if you missed the Gelex Electric train, investing in its parent company, Gelex (GEX), would have still yielded a handsome profit, with a 200% increase turning your 12.3 million VND into more than 36.9 million VND.
The Vin duo of Vingroup (VIC) and Vinhomes (VHM) also delivered impressive returns of 186% and 132%, respectively. This would have grown your initial investment to 35.2 million VND and 28.5 million VND. Following billionaire Pham Nhat Vuong’s lead would have earned you enough for the latest iPhone model.
Other stocks, such as SHS and SHB , have also performed exceptionally well, offering returns ranging from 117% to 150%. Investing in these stocks, led by “Bau Hien,” would have easily doubled or tripled your 12.3 million VND.
Of course, this is a hypothetical scenario filled with lucky breaks, and stock market investments always come with risks. Not everyone can catch these super-performing stocks.
Nonetheless, it serves as a valuable lesson in personal finance, highlighting the power of small expenses and the opportunity cost associated with them.

Stock Market Update: Riding the Wave or Missing Out?
Today’s session (August 13th) saw the VN-Index fluctuate around the 1,600-point mark multiple times. The intense back-and-forth movement at this strong resistance level has put investors in a tricky situation: buying now risks buying at the peak, but selling early could mean missing out on potential gains.
