Snoopy and MacDunk,
So long as a Gross index is used, and if stock prices are properly corrected for dividends, in fact you ARE comparing apples with apples. (Both plots will include dividend yield.)
I am quite willing to check my data if Tyke or anyone else would like to email me their dividend figures. I need the date the stock went "ex" and the actual cents/share paid out.
I must say that I think some of you are grasping at straws though. Any dividend yield however applied is not going to alter the fact that since the NZSE50 Index began, these 2 stocks have under-performed the NZ average by a huge margin.
