A Different Perspective
Trilogy International Partners shareholders are down 33% for the year, but the broader market is up 3.9%. Of course the long term matters more than the short term, and even great stocks will sometimes have a poor year. Unfortunately, the longer term story isn't pretty, with investment losses running at 21% per year over three years.
