>> Market cap is, in fact, "a potential sale price." In fact, it is a real sale price, in that it represents the price paid by investors on Friday. But only a tiny percentage of the shares of a company are traded on any given day. If the whole enterprise were put up for sale, the stock price would plummet. >> GG certainly had respectable sales at retail, and its ideas were widely spread via magazine articles and reviews. There are more "Gorilla Investors" than there are actual readers of the book. The fact is that only a small percentage of the folks that read GG understood it, and only a small fraction of those have the discipline and patience to practice it. If Gorilla Gamers represented a large percentage of the investing population, we'd be back to 100M/day trading on the nasdaq, since we buy a stock with the intention on holding it for years. >> I feel that the various tools that I use recognize the inherent value of future potential. I feel the same way about my tool box, Bob. One of us is wrong. Want to compare returns? uf
