trying to gauge reasonable entry points for buying Gorillas.

I'm not Mike, but if I may, let me relate my personal experience on this question :

Aug 98 was the 1st time I bought CSCO. (and only 20 shares, coz thats all the money I had at the time). Bought at just over $90/share. An "investment savvy" friend of mine said to me "I was stupid for having bought at such a high price". I still hold it, (and added more over time), he sold it then to "boast about a great buck he'd made"

You do the math on that purchase, and maybe that will help u understand a few things :
- do not apply standard valuation metrics to a Gorilla. (because they are an elite breed).
- If it was good enough for one to buy @ $82, it certainly has to be good enough to buy @ $57 (assuming one has some cash to buy with)
- If one cant buy more (for whatever reason), then just hold what one has.

cheers, kumar
