How do I add a real gap in high stocks so it would be visible on the chart?

I have this chart

<script src="http://code.highcharts.com/highcharts.js"></script>
<div id="container" style="height: 300px"></div>

var seriesOptions = [],
    seriesCounter = 0,
    names = ['MSFT', 'AAPL', 'GOOG'];

/**
 * Create the chart when all data is loaded
 * @returns {undefined}
 */
function createChart() {

    Highcharts.stockChart('container', {

       plotOptions: {
            series: {
                gapSize: 5 * 24 * 3600 * 1000,
                gapUnit: 'relative'
            }
        },

        rangeSelector: {
            selected: 5
        },

        yAxis: {
            labels: {
                formatter: function () {
                    return (this.value > 0 ? ' + ' : '') + this.value + '%';
                }
            },
            plotLines: [{
                value: 0,
                width: 2,
                color: 'silver'
            }]
        },

        plotOptions: {
            series: {
                compare: 'percent',
                showInNavigator: true
            }
        },

        tooltip: {
            pointFormat: '<span style="color:{series.color}">{series.name}</span>: <b>{point.y}</b> ({point.change}%)<br/>',
            valueDecimals: 2,
            split: true
        },

        series: seriesOptions
    });
}

$.each(names, function (i, name) {

    $.getJSON('https://www.highcharts.com/samples/data/' + name.toLowerCase() + '-c.json',    function (data) {

        if (i==0) {
            var first = [], last = [];
            first.push.apply(first, data.slice(0,1)[0]);
            last.push.apply(first, data.slice(0,1)[0]);
            first[0] = first[0] - 1900 * 24 * 3600 * 1000;
            last[0] =   last[0] - 130 * 24 * 3600 * 1000;
            data = [];
            data.push(first);
            data.push(last);
        }
        seriesOptions[i] = {
            name: name,
            data: data
        };

        // As we're loading the data asynchronously, we don't know what order it will arrive. So
        // we keep a counter and create the chart when all the data is loaded.
        seriesCounter += 1;

        if (seriesCounter === names.length) {
            createChart();
        }
    });
});

and as you can see there are three stocks shown. If you hover the chart with the mouse and go to the beginning you'll notice MSFT stock which has only 2 points and that's intentional. After MSFT there should be about 6 year gap, however on the chart it's shown in a few pixels.

How can I configure stockChart to show real gaps? In other words, I want to see the gap of 6 years so from 2005 till 2011 there will be empty space proportional to the whole chart?

The discussion in the comment section of the first answer reveals that OP wants to hide no-data periods only in some cases.

The solution here might be to set ordinal to false (as @ewolden) suggested and use breaks instead:

  xAxis: {
      breaks: [{
      breakSize: 24 * 3600 * 1000,
      from: Date.UTC(2017, 0, 6),
      to: Date.UTC(2017, 0, 9)
    }],
    ordinal: false
  },

  series: [{
    data: [
      [Date.UTC(2017, 0, 2), 6],
      [Date.UTC(2017, 0, 3), 7],
      [Date.UTC(2017, 0, 4), 3],
      [Date.UTC(2017, 0, 5), 4],
      [Date.UTC(2017, 0, 6), 1],
      [Date.UTC(2017, 0, 9), 8],
      [Date.UTC(2017, 0, 10), 9],
      [Date.UTC(2017, 6, 1), 4],
      [Date.UTC(2017, 6, 2), 5]
    ]

In the above demo I was able to hide the weekend (7 and 8 Jan) and maintain the space between January and July.
