Hell ZOOB,

I don't know. We were just having conversation about stocks and Unc had mentioned something about INTC being a Silver this or a silver something and as usual I kept on talking. Later in the conversation I said well I love my Silver Lined INTC. He quickly reminded me that it was SILVER BACKED GORILLA, not Silver Lined, from the book Gorilla Game or whatever. Hell, you know me, by that time I had a headache and ordered another drink.

Oh well, I still love my 600 little chimps.

Volts.

I don't like either name. I vote for "Silver-tongued gorilla." This is the porch -- we can call it whatever we want to call it (whatever it is). But silver-tongued has a nice ring to it.

I'm also partial to "Magilla Gorilla" and "Atilla the Gorilla." Some might vote for "Gorilla My Life." There's a strong case for "Funky Monkey" and "Blimp the Chimp." I've eliminated the latter to avoid offending overweight mammals.

Hi ZOOB,

"Silver-backed gorilla" is the nomenclature the Gorilla and King thread uses to describe a fully mature company with the market cap of a INTC, MSFT, or CSCO who meet a certain criterion.

To fully understand the concept, I highly recommend the revised edition of Geoffrey Moore's "The Gorilla Game" upon which all of this is based. Following the concepts helped my portfolio immeasurably.

Later,
Joel
