<<I have not purchased the book yet and need to find it asap. Is it available through
the local bookstores or should I just order it online?>>
Fred, I bought both my copies on-line through Chapters in Canada and had them delivered within a couple of days; all major bookstores will have copies. So just do it, in fact buy two copies, one for a friend to loan out ( I have lent my first edition out to a friend )or for a present.
<< have spent my first few trading years chasing the small stocks trading in and out of positions and making my broker rich and leaving me poor. I'm a
slow learner but have finally caught on.>>
LindyBill calls these Shiny pebbles and suggests that we focus our $$s on Gorillas such as Q. Shiny pebbles are un-predictable, especially during earnings and you can see that stocks like QCOM and JDSU are event driven by earnings.
Also, practice LTB&H for at least 5 to 10 years.
<<It may have been mentioned in an earlier post (still catching up), but I have not distinguished between the the kings and actual gorillas in the G&K
index. How many gorillas are in the index or is this based on opinion. I have the definitions and read them several times but still unclear as to how to
define the difference. Is there a hypergrowth number we look for in a gorilla investment?>>
IMHO: Gorillas: MSFT, INTC, CSCO, QCOM ( RTFM for definitions )
Check at the top of the thread and you will see links to G&K definitions. There are portfolios that track G&Ks ( see below ). It is best that you Read the Fine Manual to understand hypergrowth and the definitions or tornado, I have never seen a hypergrowth number to relate to other gorillas;
