    I don't think any individual stock should be buy and hold forever. History is full of once powerful companies that are now defunct or a fraction of the size they once were.

    Am still holding 5000 shares of International Buggywhip (IBW). Hoping for comeback any time now. When that happens, am going to sell and buy a modern tech stock- thinking maybe Blackberry. You've got to stay on top of these things.

    I agree with Lewis here. Stuff happens. See GE, Boeing and others.

    I know! My shares of Gas Lamp Lighters (GLL) are still way underwater, too. But I'm sure they'll come back any day now!

    Howdy,

    A couple of attractive names but I'm with Lewis and Mark. No company is immune from failure over time. This smells like talking heads.

    and so it goes,

    peace,
