I'm trying to figure out how my relative got into old Rockwell International in the first place. My best guess is that she inherited it from her brother who died 20 years ago.
So she started with just her own ATT in the 1970s, added Rockwell, and ended up with 20+ different stocks when she passed away.
How did ATT do compared with the S&P 500 after the breakup? I've read that it slightly lagged the S&P. Since the Rockwell breakup, ROK is up a stunning 500% and COL is up 200%. Plus the divs.
Quite a range of investing outcomes. ROK on one extreme and maybe five defunct spinoffs (like CNXT) on the other extreme. I'll let you know in another 20-40 years how that portfolio holds up. LOL!
