Mike, I keep eyeing G*, but have resisted. What did you read in TRFM to cause you to throw the fish back in the pond?

reQ and momo tendencies Wed Dec 29th, 1999 was a momentum day to be remembered forever. In San Diego the front page headline of the San Diego Union (main SD paper) the next day was: Qualcomm stock leaps $156 a share: closes at record $659; at start of '99 it was near $25. Freeus

Mike, << I was starting to lose my focus, but nothing a little close-reading of the RFM couldn't correct >> A reread of the FM or RFM certainly doesn't hurt. A few weeks ago I closed out my (long standing) MSFT position to chase a Shiny Pebble. This was my original position 4 splits hence. I have never added to it, nor, prior to this, have I sold any. I completed the trade then thought about it (Never sell Gorillas). Five minutes later I closed out the limit order for the Shiny Pebble and bought back my MSFT position with no penalty. Since then the Mo Mo Pebble has declined 15% and MSFT gained 1%. As UF says, the Gorilla Game is about high growth, with preservation of capital, not instant riches. Aloha to you too, - Eric -
