My take on this stat is that it tends to show that "real Gorillas", do not show up as frequently as we'd like, and in the interim period, we take a higher risk profile with kings and shiny pebbles. I am one of these people who have invested in this manner. Back when I started studying the stock market. I listened well to the Motley Fools. I went looking for markets. It took me 6 months (forgive me for I am slow) to determine that the Internet/High Tech is THE market. Even though I had not read the Gorilla Game at that time. I had determined the Internet to be the Gorilla market...with, in hindsight, characteristics of what our FM states a Gorilla to be. I think many of my threadmates have determined the same. And therefore, the result of their picks are more a confidence in the market, than it is, simply taking greater risk. I have held all the silverbacks...But have chosen to go with smaller up and comers due to my perceived increase in returns...along with my confidence in the market inwhich they operate. Raple
