Knowing when to get in Dell, and when to get out, would be stupendous.

As a long-term investor who abhors market-timing because I'm so lousy at it, I'd like to put that comment by Stan into perspective: don't confuse it with market-timing! In the context that he is suggesting, knowing when to get in and out is based on fundamental understandings of not just the company, not just the category, but also the fundamentals of the game! For a believer in fundamental analysis, that's nopthing short of euphoria.

It would seem there are many more kings than gorillas
Any company that is clearly and without debate a gorilla would also be a target for anti-trust.

Knowing when to get in is the most important thing. When a companies stock grows so tremendously, full tornado, then even if you don't get out at the most opportune time your gains are tremendous when you look at the overall picture. "Getting in" amounts to as quickly as you realize that a full in tornado is in progress. "Geting out" is when you see something you are sure is better.
