When we invest, we're generally looking for stocks that outperform the market average. And the truth is, you can make significant gains if you buy good quality businesses at the right price. For example, long term Burckhardt Compression Holding AG (VTX:BCHN) shareholders have enjoyed a 91% share price rise over the last half decade, well in excess of the market return of around 11% (not including dividends).
