re crh year to date
if you look at the performance of the tsx, or tmx whatever you want to call it Crh is perhaps in the top five percent of all stocks in Canada ytd The tsx is up less than 2 percent and as I write the ytd on crh is about 14 percent Yes 14 percent, The dow is up 5 .79 percent, and your only hope down there is that you hold tech stocks listed on the dow. The Nasdaq is up 13 pecent ytd, this shows you industrials , consumer and health care are lagging along with the other sectors Crh was up some 70 percent as of eight days ago. Perhaps we who hold should have trimmed a bit but I never really thought to. In retrospect I'm glad that I didn't because I would have deployed that working capital elsewhere and missed what I set out to do with this stock. I decided two years or so ago that I was going to see this stock through to maturity or at least until management gives me reason not to trust them . The fact that an insurer shook the tree by reducing payment is a one off, however looking at the sales growth and margin maintained gives me the comfort of knowing we are on the right track. I choose to stay the course and prosper
