Lets compare the dept of the GFC with recent highs.
BHP, $20.96 (20/11/08) to $48.58 (12/04/11) Today $36.35 RIO, $32.50 (4/12/08) to $87.87 (12/04/11) Today $69.09 CCC, 15c late 2008 to 2.9c today - crap. KRL, 3c (28/05/09) to 33c (28/10/09) & 19c on 24/12/11 where many of us probably got in between 33 & 19 on the run up or down.

Last 3 years - KRL streets ahead. Last 2 years - Rio and BHP. Last 12 months - Rio.
Its all in the timing.
