This is a statistical look at how the Dow 30 components performed from the recession in 2007 to the end of 2009.
2009 was the year of the bulls as it sent all Dow 30 components higher. The big winners on the year were the stocks that got hit the hardest. Bank Of America which got clobbered 95% from its highs in 2007 managed to bounce 495% off its lows. American Express dropped some 85% off its 2007 highs only to bounce 317% off its 2009 lows.
Clearly, if you were fortunate enough to be brave and buy the collapse, you would have done very well in 2009.
