Naturally I maintain that the sooner after it is clear that a gorilla's tornado has started - buy. I agree, GD. What I am trying to do is "Cream" the growth. Catch the bell curve as it is starting to go vertical, and ride it to the top. It's a bull ride.

Naturally I maintain that the sooner after it is clear that a gorilla's tornado has started - buy. Isn't this really a question of what game it is that one really wants to play? Every part of the transition from pre-chasm to reigning gorilla involves risk, not the least of which is the risk of making the right moves at the right times, regardless of the quality of one's solution and the enormity of the market. History is littered with the remains of companies that had great products that just never went anywhere or which had their brief time in the sun and then soon faded ... remember WordStar? Climbing on at the point the tornado has started does allow one to participate in the heady climb that goes with the tornado, but it also involves a lot of risk of the potential gorilla never making it to adulthood. I thought that one of the points of the gorilla game per se was investing in mature gorillas because they produced excellent returns with little risk.
