It's easy to match the overall market return by buying an index fund. When you buy individual stocks, you can make higher profits, but you also face the risk of under-performance. For example, the Boston Omaha Corporation (NYSE:BOC) share price is down 14% in the last year. That contrasts poorly with the market decline of 4.6%. Longer term shareholders haven't suffered as badly, since the stock is down a comparatively less painful 7.0% in three years. The last month has also been disappointing, with the stock slipping a further 21%. This could be related to the recent financial results - you can catch up on the most recent data by reading our company report.
