In 2000 Forbes made recommendation on 10 stocks that would last the decade. This article checks the performance of those stocks in 2007.

Here is a summary:

Broadcom -78%
Charles Schwab -51%
Enron Oops
Genentech 121%
Morgan Stanley 0%
Nokia -45%
Nortel Networks -96%
Oracle -53%
Univision -42%
Viacom Hard to explain

Only 1 of 10 company posted +ve returns. One company does not exist anymore.
