pac5705 - I'm inclined to agree with you on this. POO collapsed in 2014, and the SXY share price along with it. SXY very possibly only stayed afloat because of ID's skill - it certainly did stay afloat though I don't know just how much credit is due to ID. What I can see is that if I do a SP chart for the max available timescale on shareinvesting.anz.com, ie from Jan 2009, SXY is up 827%, WPL is up 426%, ORG is up 415%, and STO is up just 86%. Yes, in the run-up to 2014, SXY SP was way higher, so it does matter when you start the comparison. But if you start any time in the last couple of years, or if you go back to before the high-POO-driven enthusiasm, SXY compares pretty well. From the date ID became CEO/MD, ie Feb 2011, SXY SP is up slightly, the other 3 are down slightly. I'll give ID the benefit of the doubt for now.
