Alert: I have just completed a real time experiment in the "Buy a Gorilla/King at any price theory" which was heavily promoted on this thread back in the heady days of February and March early this year.

While cooking a beautiful waffle for breakfast one crisp morning in early March, I decided to act on a combination of the Peter Lynch theory of investing in what you understand, and the Gorilla Game theory. So I got out my NancyTheAceProgrammer cookbook and started cooking away. I just had to have a mmmbite of NTAP waffle. But while waiting for this scrumptious waffle to cool, I finally lost my mind and my patience and I took my first waffle MBite at a split adjusted cost of $114.40 per banana. Holy doughhead!! Needless to say my broadband pipe was burned to a crisp and six weeks later all I had to show for my efforts was an old moldy half life NTAP waffle lying on the data storage counter top.

But I held on, worked everyday on my long term waffle cooking techniques and after a while my dough began to rise. Well this morning, less than six months later, I cooked up a beauty---an epic NTAP waffel of even bigger, more beautiful proportions than the one I cooked six months ago. Someone offered me $117 for it, but I am not biting. I don't want to get burned again. I am going to just freeze it in my appliance storage section and check back again in six months. I am a beleiver in long term cookin now!

Best, Huey@don'trecommendtryingthis@hm.com
