...if people didn't want to sell into the peak, LT holders are now back to where it was some 14 years ago, ironic that this happens when we have an AI boom/bubble.

...and this is also why you can't just look at the indices and see a long term appreciation to conclude that stocks only go up over the long term. Yes, because the duds have been removed over time. Your stock which had been a core component of the indices no longer represented after they soured.

...this is how Wall St games the game to suck in retailers buying the mantra.

INTEL FACES DELISTING FROM DOW INDEX AS STOCK SINKS:

REPORT Speculation is growing that Intel (INTC) will be delisted from the Dow Jones Industrial Average as the microchip company’s stock continues to decline. Intel was one of the first technology companies to join the Dow index back in 1999 at the height of the dot-com stock market rally. It has been a member of the Dow for 25 consecutive years.

However, the Reuters news agency is reporting that Intel’s status in the Dow Jones Industrial Average is now under threat after the company’s share price has declined 54% this year. Intel is not only the worst performer in the Dow, an index of 30 blue-chip stocks that’s meant to represent a cross-section of the U.S. economy, it is also the second-worst performing stock in the benchmark S&P 500 index this year.
