Moving into tornado's is the key.

For you, this may well be the key, but it isn't actually classic gorilla gaming. Wait until the tornado is established and then ride it on to main street, where the gorilla is still a preferred hold, and you might have a less bumpy ride. There are those who just can't stand the thought of missing every last bit of tornado growth who find themselves reaching earlier and earlier into the cycle, but they should recognize that this additional rapid growth comes with correspondingly greater risk, so failing to pick perfectly may end up countering much of the perceived benefits. These early growth potential gorillas are likely to also have elevated prices such as we associate with a mature gorilla in the tornado, but because they don't yet have the lock, the blocks can also all come tumbling down. Whereas, a true gorilla doesn't stop being a gorilla just because main street has been reached in the tornado that propelled it to the top and, as a gorilla, it still has great growth potential and a preferred position for developing new tornados.

Cisco doesn't need to be in a recognized current tornado to still be a gorilla and have gorilla power. They don't need to have been first to the plate in optical to end up the leader there -- they have been slow off the mark and come to dominance before.
