Technically the average "current" BTE shareholder is up big These are the facts. Consider the following:
"The length of time that investors hold shares has been shrinking for decades but the trend accelerated this year in volatile markets that have made people nervous about sitting on investments for too long.
There are different ways of slicing it, but Reuters calculations based on New York stock exchange data show the average holding period for U.S. shares was 5-1/2 months in June, versus 8-1/2 months at end-2019."

Sure there are anomalies but stats and the curve tell the story.
So let's argue 6 months or say YTD.
Consider the following companies I hold:
Symbol, Dec 31, Jun 15, % YTD
ENB, 41.59, 49.70 19,5%
SU, 22.16, 31.27, 41.1%
CNQ, 32.36, 46.20, 42.8%
MEG, 4.59, 9.21 100.7%
WCP, 4.83, 6.50, 34.6%
CPG, 3.12, 5.72, 83.3%
BTE, 0.86, 2.24, 160.5%
Tough to argue hard numbers. Average investor holds say 6 months...my best YTD return so far sure enough BTE. Undisputed.
