None of that matters. The ask was, "name a high-flying stock from 50 yrs ago that is still hot today."
There are many older and still-successful companies that have been around 50 or close to 50 years.
A stock like GE hit a peak in the year 2000 and then it declined more than 80%.
I would not hold a stock like that. If some people want to take that risk, they can. But I would not recommend it.
In most cases, by the time a stock has become the “talk of the town,” it’s already too late to get into it. It can nose dive on you anytime and take years to recover, or not recover at all.

same thing happened with the ark funds .

"Our end-2025 forecast of 6,500 for the index is premised on its valuation reaching a similar level to its peak during the dot com mania," Capital Economics said.
S&P 500 recapturing 5000 today is extremely bullish imo
The question, should we choose to answer it:
"What will be the peak SP500 valuation, right before the next correction?"
My WAG is 5900. September 2025. Drop of 12% down to about 5200. I think the wildcard is how hot the AI stocks run, and how spooked people become about the national debt, causing a pullback from frightened investors. Then we could see a very short-term bear market.
If the US wasn't $34T in debt, then I would have pushed it out a few more years, and said 7100 would be the peak for the SP500.

Why does this - or any other number - matter? If your time-horizon is finite, then orient your portfolio accordingly, so that the necessary funds are not encumbered by volatility, to be turned into risk. If your time-horizon is infinite, then why, beyond sheer entertainment and whimsy, even bother with any prognostications?
