Did Business Growth Power TELCON RF PHARMACEUTICAL's (KOSDAQ:200230) Share Price Gain of 218%?

TELCON RF PHARMACEUTICAL. Inc. (KOSDAQ:200230) shareholders might be concerned after seeing the share price drop 20% in the last quarter. But that scarcely detracts from the really solid long term returns generated by the company over five years. Indeed, the share price is up an impressive 218% in that time. Generally speaking the long term returns will give you a better idea of business quality than short periods can. Ultimately business performance will determine whether the stock price continues the positive long term trend. While the returns over the last 5 years have been good, we do feel sorry for those shareholders who haven't held shares that long, because the share price is down 55% in the last three years.
