I met an elderly gentleman at my local pub today, and we talked a bit about stocks. turns out, he'd bought some stock in a local bank back in 1960

Then there was the guy that forgot he had a 1000 shares of EMC, etc,etc.<g>

But has everyone noticed, we haven't had many (any?) testimonials from thread members that have held on to stocks for 10,15 or 20 years.

PS I'm going to stop beating this dead horse to death.
PPS Kumar, maybe in 2010 you and I can talk about how I bought ntap in 2000 at a cost adjusted basis of a penny a share. At your local pub. :)
