I've been lurking and learning since the mid 4,000, and was
so fascinated that I spent two long weekends (sending my
Tokyo phone bill up to staggering heights) backtracking and
absorbing many of the earlier posts, then bought the M. I
was extremely impressed with the framework GM and company
constructed, and equally impressed with the way the thread
has put it into practice--thoughtfully, carefully, and with
a dash of tolerance and humor. (Note the *T-word*.)
GG seems to be just what I was looking for--a game
plan for a solid core holding (mature gorillas such as MSFT,
CSCO, and INTC) along with a chance for stellar gains in
budding gorillas such as Q. And a lucid framework that
explains *why* one should buy and hold onto these muscled
primates.
Aside from the potential monetary gains, the
tracking and hunting itself is fascinating. With that in
mind, I thought I'd ask if anyone has been following ELON.
While I have done my own admittedly haphazard DD on this, I
am far from expert (bumbling amateur sounds about right).
What intrigues me about the company, in the context of
the GG game, is that it appears as if ELON is being
*groomed* for gorilladom. Is this possible? While GM says
a company cannot choose to be a G, I wonder if two Gs
couldn't birth one? At present, ELON is no more than a
primate in vitro (if that), but I wonder about its future--
particularly with CSCO as a doting mother and MSFT as a
tolerant but distant father:
biz.yahoo.com
biz.yahoo.com
(both are Oct 13 company press releases on Yahoo Finance
under the ELON stock quote)
Assuming there is more to ELON than a pebble's sheen, I
would be curious to hear comments from anyone here with more
experience, a keen eye for contenders, and thoughts on the
possibility of primate "parenting." |
