Frank, I don't disagree with you. But I think it's interesting that using the same comparison after Fridays' close, the stocks on your list rebounded at approximately the same rate.

"Let's see how the Gorillas fared versus Royalty and Snowball investments" A three day time frame is a little too short term and random to draw conclusions about relative performances. Try 6 months and 1 year and your numbers would be the opposite of your chart. Remember that gorilla gamers are willing to leave money on the table in exchange for lower risk.

Great research, Frank. Nothin' like empirical evidence. --Mike Buckley

UF- Your chart was interesting but not, finally, instructive (unless I haven't gotten it yet, which is always a possibility). It's too arbitrary a snapshot. For example; NTAP and JDSU both closed up on the week, JDSU by 11.9%. That's a weekly snapshot. Secondly, QCOM was up 2400% over the preceding 12 months. Of course it's going to correct a lot more than stocks up by far less. That would be a yearly snapshot. The chart was still interesting though and I'll continue to ponder it.
