Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
Apple basis $1.40 (bought in 2001), so 252 times.
LLTC (bought in 1990), acquired by ADI (still hold some), 137x.
Marriott (bought in 1990 @ 2.62), now 102 so 38x. This one has been a wild ride because of Covid.
Edwards LifeSciences (spinoff from Baxter), $0.67 cost basis, now $73.28, so 109X
Baxter itself (bought in 1989), $5.92 basis, now $86.84, so 14.6x.
CAH (via BAX spinoff that they bought), 36X
I also have several in mid single digits, for example
MSFT: 6X
HON: 6X
SYK: 5X
ABT: 4.6X
ABBV: 4.5X
I have had some other winners long gone, such as Stryker in the 80's (finally bought it back in 2008), UpJohn, Warner Lambert.
On the other hand (to offset the gloating above) I managed to LOSE money both on Facebook and Netflix. Quite an amazing feat given what they've done but I did it! But I am thankful that some of the above have more than offset not so good holdings elsewhere.
