"After gorillas, the next most desirable holds are application software chimps if they have secured at least one dominant position in a niche market."

StockHawk or who found that,

If it's not too much trouble, could you post the page number so I can review that in context. The more I think about that out of context, the more I wonder about it.

The authors might be prone to thinking that because kings are known to hit the brick wall. (I'm referring to the graphic of the competitive advantage period.) But I have to wonder if the stock of kings doesn't appreciate faster than niche-dominating chimps.

If I'm right that the stock of kings does appreciate more, it probably comes down to how long the king's stock appreciates before hitting the wall, which is the ultimate risk of any king. If that's the essence of their point, the story of the turtle and the hare might be analagous to niche-dominating chimps and kings, respectively.
