young simians in the Telecosm world who are out performing silverbacks Intel and Microsoft.
The young usually outperform the old, at least short term. After all, if you have a Young Gorilla with a market cap of 10 Billion going against an old one with a market cap of 100 Billion, it is pretty obvious which one will show the best stock performance. How many times can you double before you run out of room?
If I had to put my maiden aunt into stocks tomorrow, and not worry about her having to end up paring cheese in an attic, I would put her into MSFT, INTC, CSCO, and QCOM, 25% each, and sleep nights knowing she could always live off them for the next 10 years. They are going to be around and do well for a long time.
Never underestimate the staying power of an old Gorilla. When I dance at the Derby tonite, some guy there who is 25 years old is going to look one hell of a lot better than I am, but, 6 months from now, he will be long gone, and I will still be there, looking good, and dancing up a storm!
