BTW, I wonder if someone is still holding on to Xerox, the golden stock of the 70's, hoping it will start doubling every year again?

Well, IF one were to believe the fools, their parents held the Nifty Fifty even though it plunged 70% (in a market that went down 40%). Apparently, they had a crystal ball that told them that regardless of what was happening then, their portfolio would be beating the overall market a mere 17 years later! :-)

Xerox is much more than a fad.
