Getting into a hot stock at its IPO price is one thing. Holding on through every gut-wrenching twist along the way is another thing altogether.What if you would have gotten in on bitcoin BTCUSD, +0.54% early? What if grandpa left you some shares of Disney DIS, +0.28% when you were a kid? What if Nike NKE, -1.74% , Coke KO, +0.59% and Microsoft MSFT, -0.
