(nearly) impossible to accurately backtest a discretionary trading system. Interesting similarity. I wouldn't say that the Gorilla game hasn't been back-tested so much as that it's design was flawed from the same fallacy that allows us to draw perfect trendlines in retrospect. That and a selection bias. It's all well and good to discuss MSFT, but what of all the other OS and middleware and application and games companies that bit the dust along the way? In other words, it was not designed for a bear market and as soon as a bear market became evident, one should have liquidated all gorillas and discontinued the GG until a bull resumed. Wow! I was nearly hounded off this thread for having the audacity to suggest such a thing a few years ago. Back then, according to the elite few, "Market Timing" suggestions for improving the Gorilla Game as an investment strategy had no place in what was a LTB&H oriented forum... lol... where's hindsight when you need it? <ggg> So no, I don't think you are babbling. Not at all.
