and IBM took 10 years from its 1987 high to get even.

But, if you picked only stocks that go up and held them for 53 years, you would have a big profit. The old buy and hold story. Sorry I can't buy stocks from 1945 have to make decisions on today's market. I really don't think this should be justification to sit thru 40-60% pullbacks that the decrepit stocks have experienced in their past.

The reason you see IBM and others talked about and moving a little is good PR and name recognition. Not because they are growing or have "value", a great deal is due to funds having to find the hi-cap to allow them to trade. The media and brokers push them because they have got to sell them to someone.
