Antioquia Gold (CVE:AGD) Shareholders Booked A 100% Gain In The Last Five Years

Generally speaking the aim of active stock picking is to find companies that provide returns that are superior to the market average. And the truth is, you can make significant gains if you buy good quality businesses at the right price. For example, long term Antioquia Gold Inc. (CVE:AGD) shareholders have enjoyed a 100% share price rise over the last half decade, well in excess of the market return of around 9.0% (not including dividends). On the other hand, the more recent gains haven't been so impressive, with shareholders gaining just 20%.

Shareholders of unprofitable companies usually expect strong revenue growth. That's because it's hard to be confident a company will be sustainable if revenue growth is negligible, and it never makes a profit.
