very interesting…
I find GE’s ascent – and valuation in 2000 – to be most notable…
My, how times have changed.
MO was one of the top performing stocks of the 1970′s and 19080′s and ranked 5 on S&P in 1990.
Bye, bye Marlboro.
FYI, AT&T of 1980, 1990 is not the same AT&T of 2012.
AT&T of today is former SBC.
@quadrillion: you nailed it. It’s Texas Tel now and they’re very proud of the takeover.

With Solar NOW cheaper then all other energy sources.
