righty ok... ok, that's why the mark to market pricing of your shares, shows you are not loosing money (sarcastic)
Mate you have been the 'cheer squad' of CSL to such an extent, that you posts don't hold much sway.
For many, their recent purchases (i am talking last few years here), have not compensated them for the fact that they were accumulating shares, when those shares were significant over valued.
So yes you can argue that the underlying company has not lost money and grown money.
But in recent times past, the price to pay for the CSL has been OVERVALUED.
And therefore such share holders have inccured losses.
Poster W534220, these are facts, and these factors are undeniable. And nor can W534220, use the dividend to compensate for the time value of money. Because it hasn't.
Conclucsion: INFATUATION with a decent quality company, but where that INFATUATION leads to a thinking of buy at ANY price, has subsequently resulted in sub-standard return.
Price is what you pay, value is what you receive.
And because CSL is a quality company, as that share price drops, the future relationship of making a decent return increases.
