...Take a longer-term view and success is a little trickier. That's why TIME asked investment-tracker Morningstar to pull together a list of the best-performing stocks over the past decade. On the eve of 2010, we figured it was time to take a look back and see which companies most thrived during the aughts. If a company can maintain its momentum over 10 years, maybe there's something to be learned. (See the best business deals...

He notes that airlines aren't exactly popular with travelers these days either. Indeed, only days ago, a planned strike by cabin crew at British Airways threatened to leave up to 1 million passengers stranded during the entire holiday season - until a judge blocked the industrial action.
