It depends on the circumstances. A company called Odyssey Marine Exploration found a sunken ship that had LOTS of gold on it. They ended up going to court and lost to the Spanish government.
I found a $100 bill once (in 2006). To the best of my knowledge nobody came forward to claim it.
Former stock broker w/ ~20 yrs. at one company. Spoke with 100k+ people and traded a lot (long, short, options, margin, extended hours, etc.).
NOTE: ANY stocks I discuss, no matter how compelling, carry risk- often
substantial. If not prepared to buy it multiple times in modest amounts without going overboard (assuming nothing really wrong with the company), you need to learn more about the market and managing risk. Also, please research covered calls (options) and selling short as well.
