Hey Dowd,"Biggest Winners of the Decade", check this out. I just received Kiplingers Personal Finance, January 1999 edition. There is an article"Biggest Winners of the Decade". Dell gets the trophy with a 57,282% return:
"Now the master of the mail-order-computer, Dell is the "poster child of the '90's bull market" says O'Shaughnessy (James O'Shaughnessy, who manages Cornerstone Growth Fund). Had you invested in Dell in 1990, you'd have reaped an annualized return of 107%-doubling your stake, and then some, every year. Dell is poised for further glory if notebook and desktop PC sales continue to increase. A consensus of analysts predict 30% annual earnings growth over the next five years."
I didn't see Compaq anywhere in sight.yuk-yuk-yuk
