You are absolutely correct based on your experience that AQN returned 3X over last decade compared to ALA that yielded -ve return

Did you consider the dividend paid while calculating return ? ALA before cutting the dividend was paying over 8%

Others on this board may have different experience and they may also be correct in saying ALA return is higher than AQN . For example - ALA dropped under $9 per share during March lows and those who picked up shares at that time locked in over 10% yield and also price almost doubled since then

Historical returns may not be replicated in future. Market is forward looking. AQN has been excellent holding for last decade but there is no assurance that it would return 3x over next decade. ALA on other hand had its own problems and it may turn out to be better play in future.

One thing we can probably agree that ALA is more volatite (higher risk/reward) stock than AQN and just look at Beta for these stocks (ALA 1.66 and AQN 0.34). ALA suits more to high risk takers.
