Thunderbird Entertainment Group Inc. (CVE:TBRD) shareholders have seen the share price descend 14% over the month. But at least the stock is up over the last five years. In that time, it is up 85%, which isn't bad, but is below the market return of 115%. Unfortunately not all shareholders will have held it for five years, so spare a thought for those caught in the 61% decline over the last three years: that's a long time to wait for profits.
