<< the dynamics of a Gorilla game virtually ensures Cisco won't be unseated as the sector's ruler. >> Frank, go back to the 70s. Was Polaroid a gorilla with its patents and instant photography? Was IBM a gorilla with its mainframes and dominance and heavy R&D budget? Was Xerox a gorilla? Was RCA a gorilla in the 1920s? Would you say that any of these companies have been "useated"? In many cases they lost 90% of value, or were flat for many years. Some came back and survived; some did not. The vagaries of markets make nothing virtually ensured. Gorilla game advocates sometimes talk and act like they have discovered something new and magical. They haven't. Those who ignore history....etc. BP
