In this second of the Long vs Short series I am once again going to take look at the chart comparisons for a stock from the Share Investor Portfolio and compare the 10 year return (above) to the turmoil of the last year with a 1 year return chart (bottom of post).
In this series I want to show the merits of investing, using charts, for the long-term vs short term gains or losses. I will use the longest available data to me for the long-term view and will compare against the NZX50.
The second stock in the series will be Sky City Entertainment [SKC.NZ] which I have held for 6 years, the longest of any stock of the 17 that I currently own.
My Portfolio | |||
Symbol | Price | Value | Earned |
$2.94 | $102900 | $30800 | |
As I said above I have held Sky City for 6 years and my current return (see small chart above)* is around 42%. Not good considering it is 6 years but when you look at the current market situation not bad.
If however you had held Sky City for the full ten years(see large chart at top) your return would have been a staggering 350%.
Taking a look at the short term outlook for the last year your loss would have been almost 35%.
As in the first Long vs Short installment the long-term portfolio wins again.
