Since you are all still asleep, I'll take a stab at this one.Long term buy and hold is an extremely powerful and effective strategy, and probably more important even than identifying a gorilla company. I am reminded that some on this thread actually sold into weakness when the Q last dipped into the 150s, a common emotional reaction to normal volatility of a growth stock. distinction does need to be made between stocks that are participants in a Gorilla Game, a Royalty Game and a Godzilla Game. On a focused board like this, one can't lump them all under the same umbrella and say - "See, look what happened to me by just holding all of these beauties for the past 6 or 7 years". That doesn't float around here. It's all about distinguishing the risk and then applying investment funds into the appropriate categories for one's risk/reward profile. The risks are not similar for each category. Although I participate in all three of the games, I am learning to express and distinguish the risk so as not to mislead others who may read the board.
