When you buy and hold a stock for the long term, you definitely want it to provide a positive return. Better yet, you'd like to see the share price move up more than the market average. Unfortunately for shareholders, while the Santos Limited (ASX:STO) share price is up 12% in the last five years, that's less than the market return. Looking at the last year alone, the stock is up 10%.
