The NEOWIZ (KOSDAQ:095660) Share Price Is Up 51% And Shareholders Are Holding On

The main point of investing for the long term is to make money. But more than that, you probably want to see it rise more than the market average. But NEOWIZ (KOSDAQ:095660) has fallen short of that second goal, with a share price rise of 51% over five years, which is below the market return. On a brighter note, more newer shareholders are probably rather content with the 38% share price gain over twelve months.
