By the way, what return have you indicated we should target as Gorilla hunters? Great question! I think the thread should post expected returns such that we can find a mean / median cost of equity for these companies. Also, how does this compare with what you all think the S&P will do in the next decade or two? Just an idea. Ryan (Justin's roommate)

>> They are largely responsible for me being able to beat Uncle Frank to this role of private investor. In any case, I suspect as time goes on they will pale in returns at an increasing rate. By the way, what return have you indicated we should target as Gorilla hunters? Tom, I presume you're joking around, but these are serious times. Let's stick to Gorilla gaming, and deciding how we're going to run this thread. Bragging about returns won't accomplish anything useful. Prosperous investing, uf

My "Maiden Aunt" is not a "Gorilla Gamer". She would have lower returns than we would, but much more safety. We expect to double each year. I have a 5 bagger portfolio for the year, at the moment, and do not ever expect to do that well in a year again, or even close! Many others on this these threads have done much better than me, but they have risked much more. That's the point of the Gorilla Game. Enormous returns, with great safety.
