Good point, but their risk/reward profile doesn't fit well for this conservative group.

That's an interesting statement, Frank. I wouldn't want to predict returns on any of my stocks, but I hope that 50-fold returns over the next decade aren't out of the question for some of them.

The reason that statement is so provocative, in my view, is that The Gorilla Game is appealing in part because of similar success in past Gorillas. Gorillas like MSFT, CSCO & ORCL grew more than 50-fold over the 1990s. Again, it would be naive to assume such returns in the future. At the same time, though, if we are rejecting the possibility of such returns in our stocks, are we playing the same Gorilla Game that we thought we were?
