How about these as rules:

7. A company with a proven track record is safer than a stock with a great "story".

8. An industry leader is safer than a company in second place. A company in second place is safer than a company in 3rd place.

btw--I disagree with #2. It depends how the company got there. Think of all the quarters QCOM "disappointed", while it was going about the business of establishing CDMA. Also, I don't quite "get" #5--how long in the future are we allowed to "project" earnings?

I wonder, as this thread develops, whether it would be worthwhile constructing a portfolio of companies that satisfy any investment rules that are decided on? A sort of G&K portfolio that isn't necessarily composed on G&K's, or even tech stocks.

Best,
John

Dale--This is an interesting idea for a thread. Good luck with it. I will bookmark it.
