jamesmarson has a point looking at 10 year returns, price adjusted, since 1/18/2002.
USB has doubled (this is with divs I believe)
WFC up about 75%
JPM up about 40%
PNC up about 30%
BBT up about 8% (but that's all divvies, without which you'd be down a bit).
FITB down about 75%
BAC down about 70% or so, just eyeballing these figures.
C down about 90%.
wamu and indymac out 100%.
