re:what is GE

Porkbay: All are essentially ltb&h stocks and that is the essence of the Gorilla Game.
UF: ...The only type of stock the fm recommends for ltb&h is the Gorilla.


I just finished "One up on Wall Street", by Peter Lynch so this topic is fresh in my mind. He said he trades the "Stalwarts" such as GE, Coke, and P&G more frequently than any other type of stock. His reasoning is you won't get a ten bagger so when the P/E goes above the normal range and the stock price gets above the earnings line you should think about selling and look for a good buy in the same group.

This strategy hadn't occurred to me but it makes perfect sense. These companies generally have a long history of predictable growth. Large upswings in the stock are probably not caused by some new killer product because any single product has a small effect on the bottom line.
