poet...."kings,things, san,nas" you would think that one day these silly gorilla and king labels would be removed, and "investors?" begin to look at the real business and balance sheets of companies....how many got burned on the qcom like stocks by buying near the top, thinking and even posting it would reach 2000 in 2000, (believing they were sitting in king arthurs court)and watching wealth diminish as the great q went from 800 to 360 (presplit pricing)... just look at ntap....sales of about 500mil, revenues about 60mil, pe of 380......compare with emc...sales 6.7bil, revenues of 1.01bil, pe of 138.....how long will it take ntap to grow its sales 12 times? , how much would it cost ntap to grow its work force from 900 to match the almost 18k employees of emc? real world exponential sales slow at a certain level.... so for those that can't believe that gmst looks cheap...guess what it is...just remember you are now in the "deep end of the pool"...remember the recent panic when "you tried to touch bottom and spring off"....this was easy in shallow water...don't mistake the luck of the greatest bull market for tried and true experience...don't feel the "neccessary urge to trade".....the water is deeper then you think.... good luck, and poet this was not directed to you, just a comment on the still present manic postings on these threads!
