Comparing what?
We're having a discussion, and Igor clarified "Sorry if I am not good in charting. I used yearly comparison...."
That makes much more sense. You said "five years" and I wondered, since on the five year chart COMS stays ahead of CSCO for the first four years, and then we get reamed for the last year. Certainly, however, I agree that this last 7 or 8 months sucked.
What I wondered was why this showed that COMS had been troublesome for the whole timeframe discussed (five years seemed to be implied) when it had been good for the first four.
In hindsite (which is, of course, perfect, all-knowing, and useless), we didn't pick the proper exit point. For whatever reason, we didn't see it at 80.... Some of us are convinced that COMS should have a higher value, and are waiting it out. Others are using the high volatility to trade in and out rapidly.
So it goes.
