Long Term View: Best Stocks from the Series

In the Long Term View series (see links to each individual stock at the bottom of this post) of posts I have looked at stocks listed on the NZX in relation to their returns to shareholders over the life of their listing -what shareholders would now see in their back pockets if they had invested in the company IPO. The calculation of returns included dividends and tax credits and other relevant details.

The calculation of return is based on available data and may vary from stock to stock. An absence of data usually means a better return than I have calculated will be the case.

In each individual post the differences will be pointed out.

I have been surprised by the spectacular returns from some and not so surprised by the dismal returns of others but have learnt, once again, that the best returns come from holding good stocks for a long period.

My ideas on stocks as one of the better long-term investments have been reinforced by this series.

Below are rankings in the series from number one down to the bottom in terms of annual returns. Click on company name for more detail on returns.
