*RE: Don't confuse stock price performance with company/business performance. A stock's price can languish for quite a while while the business performs well. My $0.02 anyway.* A good example would be MSFT, among several others. I mention MSFT since I have owned it starting back in 1987, after Black Monday. I believe MSFT was in the low $20.00 range at year end 2010. It is over $513 as of today. That is over a 2,000.% increase. Not the top performer by any means over that time period. But one that I have owned every day from that time period and have enjoyed the returns!! My point being, it was a rock-solid company, with globs of cash flow, that just did not appreciate much since the tech meltdown in 2000, until after 2010. Disclosure: Holding PEP, with no intention of reducing my current stake.
