Yahoo Finance Did You Miss ATI Airtest Technologies's (CVE:AAT) 40% Share Price Gain?
These days it's easy to simply buy an index fund, and your returns should (roughly) match the market. But one can do better than that by picking better than average stocks (as part of a diversified portfolio). To wit, the ATI Airtest Technologies Inc. (CVE:AAT) share price is 40% higher than it was a year ago, much better than the market return of around 5.4% (not including dividends) in the same period. So that should have shareholders smiling. Having said that, the longer term returns aren't so impressive, with stock gaining just 17% in three years.
