Stocks For the Next Decade With a Twist

By now we're all familiar with the sometimes disastrous returns an investor can see if they follow the advice of columns that suggest stocks to buy for the next decade.  With that in mind, an MSN article we read today may provide the key to success.  In the article, the author suggests seven companies that aren't likely to be around in 2020.  If the stocks that everybody loves at the beginning of a decade tend to do poorly over the course of the decade, are the stocks that everybody hates potential winners?

Below we highlight the seven names cited in the article.  As shown, most of these companies have been poor performers and are in industries that are on the decline.  Of the seven names, only six are publicly traded.  Will Magellan be the hot IPO of the decade?
