In this forth installment 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 (large chart at 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 (10 years )and will make a comparison against the NZX50.
In the forth of this segment of Long vs Short I will take a look at Fisher & Paykel Healthcare [FPH.NZ]
I have held 2000 Fisher and Paykel Healthcare shares since May 2007 and have added more since then to take the total to 5000 (see small chart below for detail)

My total return after 18 months or so is just over 26%. That is after dividends and tax credits are added and brokerage applied.
Very good considering current market conditions.
If I had held this stock for a full ten years (
see large chart at top) my return would have been over 210%.
By comparison if I had held the stock for just one year
(see large chart below) my return would have been a loss of 35%.
This is in spite of the stock being a relatively good performer this year.
No stock in this series, yet, has proven to be a loser over the longer 10 year period and Fisher & Paykel Healthcare is no exception.

So Winston Peters has been milking the taxpayer to the last minute over his ministerial self-drive car, so what else is new, he has been stealing from the taxpayer for his whole political career.
