Mike, "Gorilla Gaming is a long-term strategy, not one that concentrates on a particular year." I think many of us forget this sometimes. Simple, but critically important statement. While GGing may have short term flaws over the short term -- especially in mo-mo markets where years of growth are being discounted into the stock price in weeks -- over longer periods of time the GG methodology will generate the highest reward with lower risk. We will not be in a mo-mo period forever where it pays to jump in pre-tornado. In fact, we may have to suffer a period where Mr. Market actually likes value stocks more so than growth stocks for 1 or 2 years. Or worse, Mr. Market may decide that he/she doesn't like stocks AT ALL for an extended period of time! Don't know about everyone here, but any buy I make on a stock I make looking 5 years out. Me + GG = perfect fit. KY

Mike, We each have our own way to play GG that fits our investing temperament. I prefer to mold what tools I have around me into my investing personality. Don't get me wrong, I'm student of the market past and present, I'm always looking to over come my mistakes and I am willing to learn new techniques, but I respect the past knowledge base. I too take the long term approach with only one stock CSCO. I'm hoping ORCL, QCOM, JDSU become CSCO like. But my money and time is precious to me, I don't want it sitting around like INTC did or MSFT is now. That's is what my dwelling comment is about. Greg
