well you're right for the past but not today...many things have changed and BBDA could be a great stock in the futur. it depends on the decisions made by Brian Weber :)
The same can be said for pretty much any stock that ever went up or down. It all depends upon the time-frame selected...most investors look back maybe a year...going back several years to find a period that supports your conclusions is OK, but it isn't what future investors care much about.
I guess if you're a hammer, everything starts looking like a nail.
