Dr. Levy--you left out MOT--about 65% down from GG's recommendation. WCOM and GBLX are also on the list.

GBLX was picked in 1996, and LOR in 1999. I did a quick check of the other 30 or so stocks and most are quite a bit above the purchase price. Did you know this has been a bad year for a lot of tech stocks? Did you know that Gilder is not a stock timer? A smart subscriber (not you) reads what he says about the company, and then makes his own decision on when to buy.

Bernard, Certainly, some of his recent picks are down 50% or more?(though it is true TERN is up from his original reco). But what does that have to do with the price of beans? Not to mention that it's not like Mr. Gilder was alone in suspecting techs and/or internuts would remain "highly" priced indefinitely. You could pick on hundreds of analysts today, most with now FAR worse price records for their recent picks. I'd remind you that to claim Gilder is closer to 0% based on the stocks you singled out, is actually to say that all those companies will not pan out as having an important technology of the future. I suspect you are willing to say such...but Bernard...ONLY the future will provide the answer, closer to 0% or 100%, where your chosen examples are concerned and all the rest of his picks. Todays stock price has nothing to do with the man's reason for being, nor his hopeful promise for successfull technologies of the future. Freedom works, Dan B
