re: relentlessly reinventing itself: Essentially, you are relying, if you invest in AOL, on the ability of the company to do things that it has never demonstrated an ability to do before (and neither has anyone else). That's a high hurdle to jump, and they have to do it over and over. One misstep, and the stock gets chopped in half. I prefer to invest in companies that will grow profits well, just by continuing to do in the future what they have a track record of doing in the past. That's a low hurdle to jump. One of the big attractions of Gorilla Investing, for me, is that you don't rely on hopes and promises. You rely on a company that already has proven they dominate a rapidly growing niche. The market is proven, the technology is owned, the management is tested.
