The following are stocks that did very well even during the lost decade.
This is why I hold these type of “blue chips” or whatever you want to call them, as a sort of hedge against my big tech positions.
I keep each position to around 3 to 5% and try and have maybe 5 or 6 of these type of stocks as “steady Eddies”….
