Paul Johnson recommends, as does our manual, the purchase of a basket of gorilla candidates. There is a big problem with that now. We all know that various stocks have gone up 50,60, even 100 times in the last decade. But they started with quite modest price/earnings ratios. The candidates that P. Johnson is talking about are losing money or else are selling for 300-400 times earnings. The chance of growing 50 times in 10 years from that level is zilch, in my opinion. We should rather think of 5,6 or 10 times. But if that is the best gain from a candidate, and we know many candidates fall by the wayside, then it will be more profitable to buy only proven gorillas. I think the gorilla game should be revised accordingly in these times.
Other opinions?
