OT, because not pure Gorilla Gaming... I'm curious: How many regulars here use Gorilla Gaming as one part of a diversified strategy, ... I'm not a regular, but rather a lurker, but I'll answer anyhow (note that I'm talking about tax-deferred money, so capital gains taxes are not an issue). Strategies employed are: 1. Gorilla gaming 2. Seasonality: per Bob Brinker, "During all of the 6 month periods of May 1 and October 31 during the last 50 years, the market has gone up a total of 11%, yet in the 6 month periods between November 1 and April 30 during the last 50 years, the market has gone up 3300%." Just can't ignore that. 3. Timing by Bob Brinker's Marketimer. Though some say "It's impossible", Bob does it better than most. He's rated number 2 by Hulbert. His newsletter costs only $185 per year. He got me mostly out of market in January. Now we're heavily into QQQ for a countertrend rally. 4. In picking stocks, focus on Gorillas, and let Kevin Landes pick some of the rest, i.e., invest in the Firsthand Value and Tech Leader funds besides investing in stocks. It helps me avoid trying to own all the "good kings, princes, pebbles, etc." by assuming that Kevin will pick a lot of the good ones for me. d
