Please read the gorilla game book. A gorilla doesn't lose money, period. CMRC has never made any profit and doesn't expect to do so in 2001 either. It may indeed have a glorious future but such unproven companies are not part of the gorilla game. The crowd that hangs around this thread are serious about at least octupling their holdings in a decade so they are allergic to money losing companies.

To Shamsaee and B. Brown: I want to apologize to Mr. Shamsaee for thinking he had not read the manual. From the numbers that BB cites it's clear that the bunch of B to B companies you mentioned are very interesting, to us as investors. Therefore Shamsaee and BB are doing great favours to those who can benefit. However are they interesting to us as gorilla game investors, even though their stock prices have clearly been outrunning the gorillas as a group? I don't think so. Shamsaee's discussion with his relative and the spectacular prophecy, remind me of a talk I heard here in Toronto in 1985, by Bill Joy. His talk did not basically concern Microsoft but as an aside he happened to mention that Microsoft had an absolute monopoly on the OS for PC's and was bound to profit immensely. Rather interested, I phoned my sister and persuaded her to buy some. I didn't buy any because I thought whatever I owned, I even forget what it was now, was just as good. If I'd put all my money into Microsoft then I could now make Bruce Brown an offer he couldn't refuse to sing Mozart arias with my private orchestra. Still I don't think that buying these shining pebbles are the gorilla game.
