<<I was serious.>>

So was I, sort of. The term "Shiny Pebble" covers a lot of territory. From the thread FAQ:
<<<<
Shiny Pebble = A term coined by LindyBill, a thread co-founder, an picked up by UF, to describe a new young tech company that was hot, but was way too early in its cycle to consider holding. The term came from Isaac Newton's "When I look at what I have learned about the Universe, I feel like a small child, walking along a beach, picking up shiny pebbles, while a whole ocean of knowledge lies before me." Some Shiny Pebbles, or Snowballs, can be found in the "Watch and Wait" portfolio (Year 2000 version). See 'Snowball' below.

Not a very small universe.
