a college finance proffessor in boston has a course on the failed Gorilla Game concept! Yes he thinks G Moore is a bad joke! He uses this thread as course material,teaching his students what not to do!
Really? Who is he and which institution does he offer his course? We are honored he is gathering his course material from an internet message board such as ours. Maybe we could talk to the parents of each of his students to see if any of them are holding shares of Microsoft, Cisco, Intel, Oracle, Siebel, Qualcomm, etc... in their personal portfolios or in the mutual funds they hold. They might be interested to know what their child's professor thinks about some of their investments that may have helped pay for tuition.
I imagine the professor uses illustrations of public companies that have fought the gorilla game or royalty game and survived over the course of years such as Intel, Microsoft, Oracle, Cisco, Applied Materials, Dell Computer, EMC as well as those who didn't fight so well such as Xerox, Polaroid, Digital, Wang and on down the line.
Your post sums up the failed theory very well,hard to invest when you have just lost all your money! regards john
We'll see what the next decade or two provides. Are you predicting there won't be any technology companies that emerge going forward such as those that emerged around the PC and client-server architecture which rewarded investors in the past?
