>> Remember that gorilla gamers are willing to leave money on the table in exchange for lower risk. I agree, Rel. I'm glad I managed to get my point across. uf

>> 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. Disagree. In the 3 day microcosm, the old Gorillas were the last sold off (at the close Thursday), and as I recall Friday morning, they popped right back while NTAP/SEBL/QCOM lingered low until after lunch. That's also roughly my memory of the shape of last August and last October. I don't buy 'coincidence' here. I think this displays a fundamental characteristic of an old-but-still-viable Gorilla stock under general or tech market stress, "last down, first up". Useful IMO as a marker of a bottom, "it ain't over 'til the fat Gorilla cries!" Whether this is an effect of the proportions of institutional vs small investors (who gets scared first), or broad perception of true Gorilla long term safety, or manipulation to hold up the Gorillas until the buy-on-the-dip investors are all in, or other dynamics, is arguable IMO. - Dway
