Some Gorilla Gamers are indulging in the same oversimplification, labeling any company with a vaguely appealing idea--or a zooming stock price--the next king of the jungle. In late February, for example, one excitable regular on the Silicon Investor boards started a discussion group devoted to Ventro, which he called a "B2B Gorilla in the Making." This up-and-comer quickly devolved into a came-and-wenter. It peaked soon after the discussion thread began and then lost some 95% of its value in a matter of a few months. Another company I've seen tagged a gorilla is Xcelera. The stock spiked after technology guru George Gilder praised its Internet caching products. It's now down 32% this year. Uh, did I sleep through something? I don't remember a lot of discussion about these two? I don't remember anything about them. Are there secret meetings about gg candidates on the come that some of us aren"t invited to? Tekboy, are you keeping this stuff to yourself? I'm feeling so left out. Kat: Thank you, Thank you, Thank you , who ever you are.
