Netflix was actually one of my first trades after opening an Ameritrade account. Unfortunately I was young and didn't have the money to invest more. Other than really liking Netflix as a subscriber, I was obviously very lucky on that pick.
Another one I've held for a long time is McDonalds. I bought it after the movie Supersize Me tanked the price a bit. I figured there was no way they movie would hold the price down long term. It's performed well, but the mistake I made was McDonalds owned Chipotle at the time. When they split off they gave stock holders the option of keeping the stock all in McDonalds or splitting it and getting shares of Chipotle. I didn't bother splitting it up missing out on a great Chipotle run.
