It depends. In this NGAS case, apparently it does not. If one holds from 2016 to 2018 last year, they would have made a whopping 200+ % returns, 10 x more than current S&P 500 returns.
However, if one forgets to sell or think price goes up forever , then they would be sorely disappointed as shown on the chart with its waterfall sharp drop!
Lesson learnt : What works for one product (eg. S&P 500 index) may not necessarily apply to other product (eg. NGAS in this case) and to me, that makes charting interesting.
