It was pretty interesting. I think they had some other criteria. Otherwise, I'm sure there was some penny stock that was up like 1000% over the past 10 years. And I agree with Tom, the Enrons of the world are the worst performing stocks, but they don't make it into lists like these because they became worthless. I read that same article myself.

However, I just thought it would be neat to compare the two (the best-performing and the worst-performing). I can't imagine anyone hanging on for ten years as they watch their $1,000 dwindle down to $87! Tom,

You’re right. However, I just thought it would be neat to compare the two (the best-performing and the worst-performing).

Foster Wheeler is "only" the worst performing stock that still trades independently after 10 years. Still quite an accomplishment!
