It's kind of funny, I bough a little CO stock in early 1995 after I had a sense that the "Go Forward Plan" was actually going someplace. At the time the stock cost about what it's worth today.
I sold that stock in the summer of 2001 after failing to obtain a satisfactory resolution to a couple of customer service issues. Although I missed the $60 peak stock price, I didn't do too badly selling for a little over $40.
