I beg to differ in my opinion. My personal experience with holding a "non-gorilla stock" over a 10+ year period, has delivered "gains I am happy with", with close to 0 effort to monitor 2 zillion parameters that may affect a stock price, as opposed to a fraction of that, which may affect the company over a sustained period of time. cheers, kumar

<<Long term buy and hold takes a lot of follow up work on the companies you hold.The thread looks at new developments and how it might effect ones stock holdings and its future prospects.Recent Discussions on CSCO/NT,EMC/NTAP,Qcom,GMST plus quite a few more come to mind.>> IMHO, LTB&H takes a lot less follow up work on the company (assuming one didnt pick a lemon in the first place). "The Thread" is not "The Market". This thread helps us all better understand the pros/cons of G&K companies. we then individually use what we glean, in the best way we seem fit. BTW, there are non-tech stocks that deliver significant ROI too. cheers, kumar
