I apologize. I made a few glaring errors on my earlier percentage gains post due to a little chart trouble I was having at the Fool and Big Charts. I misread Compaq, Qualcomm, Siebel, Oracle, Amazon and Yahoo! this morning (and Microsoft is within a few thousand of being correct). Please find the corrected versions below. In this corrected version, you will see that the PC King - Compaq has had a much better long term return than holding Intel since 1986. Siebel and Qualcomm gained more than I said (as did Oracle, Amazon and Yahoo!) and Gemstar gained less.
