While going through a zillion bookmarks to see which ones I should now delete, I came across a Front Office Gorilla Game write-up I posted last May. An excerpt from it couldn't be more appropriate today:

"In this period when many people are experiencing significant short-term declines in their portfolio, the Game continues teaching us the vitally important lessons of exercising long-term discipline. Though the two years the Game has been played is a far cry from a long period, please notice that as impressive as the numbers below are, it wasn't always that way.

The Game's value declined 40% in its first five months. Not a good start.

Eleven months after it began, the game was barely profitable (by only 3.64% to be exact). During that time the S&P 500 had increased 19% and the Naz had increased 38%. Nearly one year into the Game, an investor would have been as well off leaving the money in their brokerage's money market account.

But a full two years into the Game, look at the results longer-term investing has brought to the table:

[as of May 29, 2000]

                             Year-to     History 
	        History	      Date	Annualized
Gorilla Game	353.12%	     10.91%      144.81%
Nasdaq	         77.57%	    -21.24%       40.53%
S&P 500	         24.09%      -6.21%	  13.64%
Russell 2000	 -1.21%	     -9.39%	  -0.72%"
