I suggest we refine the notion of a gorilla. How about saying a gorilla has no decreases in earnings, over a significant period? For most stocks it would be a year compared with the previous year. There may be situations where a shorter period is justified because the drop is serious and points to declining earnings over a longer period because the problems exposed cannot be quickly overcome. There may also be situations where a longer time period, say 1.5 to 2 years is required to call it a down turn. I can't think of an example of the latter. If we use this definition of a gorilla then the only ones still standing that I can think of are SEBL,MSFT and QCOM. For the latter two, the general outlook has changed; slower growth is now evident in MSFT and the great wireless explosion looks to be quite slower than previously expected. SEBL alone looks like a full fledged fast growth gorilla(albeit overpriced by some people's criteria).
