It's been a very long time since I actively traded. I still hold onto shares in companies that I bought decades ago. The downside is that many of the companies spun off a bunch of divisions that became their own publicly traded entities. Then some of those spin-offs were acquired. Trying to keep track of cost basis (for tax purposes) is a nightmare.

Your story of a potential investment in a color TV company reminded me of a scene from the film "Defending Your Life," a comedy classic. In this case, the failure to invest was...costly.
