The Pre-Meltdown Losers

As we noted yesterday, during the nine years of the current bull market, some stocks have done extremely well. But it's worth remembering that the bull run was preceded by a disastrous meltdown in the financial sector.

If you look not at the past nine years but back to July 13, 2007, when the market's previous high point was reached, there have been some terrible losers in the market. Some of the worst performers over that 10-plus-year period:

• AIG, down 95 percent
• Office Depot, down 92 percent
• MBIA, down 86 percent
• Citigroup, down 84 percent
• ETrade, down 76 percent
