TLS since 2002

Source: Yahoo Finance

Impressive run in TLS doubling in price from $3 to $6 in only four years.
Reached its peak in February and has since closed lower every month since with the exception of Jul.
Perhaps worth remembering the negative sentiment with TLS for such a long period of time.  Its shares drifted lower for 12 years from $9 to less than $3.
However if bought and held at almost any point since 2002 (apart from this year) there is a capital gain of anywhere between 0-100% and the descent dividend that comes by every six months.

Some readers may be aware of the investment strategy Dogs of the Dow.   I often wondered whether TLS was an exception to this strategy as it drifted lower over many years.  Perhaps it does fit the strategy when looked at over a much longer time frame.
