Not to make life more difficult .... but it might be interesting the next time around to get people to make some classification of their "style" re GG, i.e., pure gorilla, mid-tornado, bowling alley, etc. as their preferred entry point. I am certainly seeing some portfolios come by that are chockfull of Shiny Pebbles ... and not what I would consider a real GGamer.

I think of this particularly since a correspondent of mine who is not currently following GG, cited the case of a friend who seems to be a bit of a lurker, but who appears not to have read the book and who seems to be cherry-picking promising Shiny Pebbles without understanding why this is risky. This friend has lost a bit of money lately on these investments ... hardly surprising all in all ... and thus is questioning this board as a source of "hot tips". Of course, the real answer is that this isn't a place for hot tips, but I would hate to encourage this sort of behavior by publishing an "average" portfolio that included large amounts of Shiny Pebbles, since I don't believe this represents the dominant thinking of this thread.
