<Trust me when I mention that you're first comment about making back a life-time's worth of losses already helped any number of lurkers who are wondering if we're for real. We are and you help validate that.> Mike thank you------ we are for real. And I would like to add to that for the occasional lurkers and newbies. To those who may have read my story, nothing would please me more then for you to become a believer and prosper as i have because of it. However i use the word believer in a strong sense. There is no easy way to wealth. This thread is not for cherry picking it's ideas(such as asking for the G&K list and just buying). If you do so you will never truly understand why you are invested in these companies and will at some point get scared out of your position, not invest what you could have or worse yet invest in the wrong company because you thought it similar to companies discussed here. I know this from experience, my one friend who bought Q sold it at 225 after what he considered a killing, a 50 point profit. This takes alot of hard work, in fact it is a full time job for most. You must rtfm, you must read as many past posts as possible and you must do your own DD on any gorilla or king you plan to invest in. You MUST KNOW for yourself why they are a gorilla or king. Then use the knowledge shared on this thread as a guide and a source of strength when things get rough. Think of the manual and this thread as a tool for self-improvement. As with anything in life, you can have the best teachers and coaches, but it is you that have to put in the hard work and sacrifice to reap the benefits of those trying to help you. That is what i cherish most, knowing what i have learned here(and will learn in the future) will carry me and be with me for the rest of my life. <Now if I can only convince you to use upper-case letters at the begining of sentences. I love your posts and have a hard time reading them. :)> Again thank you and hope I've made some improvement on that in the above. Hoping everyone had the best New Years Eve ever and here's to happy hunting in 2000. 100
