Yes, GE is a good company, but is it a good stock?
Five years ago, GE was about 25. Now, 32.
HD five years ago 27, now 28.
Both GE and HD have been in the 40s before dropping back. Both stocks have dropped back from their high points more than they have had in their 5 year gain.
In the same 5 year period:
KO 38 then, 57 now.
UTX Opened at 28 5 years ago, today hit 75.
GIS opened at 40, today 62.
MOS opened just under 10. Today...over 129
FCX opened at nearly 15, today it is 124
X (United States Steel) 13 to 181
XOM (Exxon Mobil) 32 to 92.
No one can tell you that one stock will go up (or down) 5, 50, or 100%, but wouldn't it be nice to own a MOS or an X back then?
