Investment savings accounts are a pillar of safety, but they can still trip you up

: I frequently read articles in The Globe about individual stocks where a performance comparison is made with the S&P/TSX Composite Index. I wonder if these articles are comparing apples to apples or apples to oranges. Often, but not always, the articles specify whether the stock’s performance is based on simple price return or a total return that includes dividends.

. If you enter a stock symbol and specify a start and end date, the calculator will determine the stock’s total return for the period, as well as the annualized total return. It will also compare the stock’s total return to the simple price return of the S&P/TSX. But, as you pointed out, this is an apples-to-oranges comparison.
