<<But you if you look at XTND you can see that it took two weeks for it to become fully valued. That was my point about speed, as one poster put it, time compression. You have to quick, have to be aways looking, researching, and you can't be dwelling, or you will not be able to play the Gorilla Game to it's fullest.>> Greg: Can you make a good case for XTND being a gorilla (using of course the RFM as your textbook)? If not, then your claim that it became fully valued in just two weeks is of no significance to us Gorilla Gamers. If it is a gorilla, then I would expect its market cap to continue to rise for a while in the future, and if it doesn't then and only then would I use this case as a possible threat to the gorilla game as optimum investing strategy.

replay the gorilla game to its fullest Hmmm... You are talking about playing the gorilla game as a trading mechanism, and saying that that is to the fullest (I think I am paraphrasing you correctly). But many of us believe that that is too frantic a way of investing. Getting into a top line company that appears to be headed towards kingship or gorilla dom may be a slower process, while one is investigating it, and in this crazy market the price of the stock may indeed skyrocket. However, if a good strong company is chosen, whether or not it ends up dominating it's niche or industry, the investor does not have to be in a rush because the company will persevere and the long term holder will see profits, although perhaps miss the 1-400 nonsense that is such fun to be in on.Also, I don't think most of the "modern" ltb&h ers are so stubborn that if a company turns out NOT to be the gorilla they still hold on.
