Actually in the last 10 years one could have made some good $$$ with ATML. 10 years ago (7/96) it was at $6.81 (split adjusted) and was near $30 by 2000. That's 300+%. Semi's are cyclical and not buy & hold IMO. My perspective may be different as I bought in the past couple years in the $2's and $3's and sold into strength and then rebuy on weakness. Not many stocks I'd hold long term, most are trading vehicles IMO.
