And don't forget GSTRF at $35, now penny stock.

I, of course, have no interest in denying any such realities surrounding the current prices of the GTR's picks from the past year or so, which so many here relentlessly allude to. It is instructive to know that there was a tech. mania bubble in the market which burst(and may continue bursting, LOL). It is instructive to know that Gilder is hardly alone among techstock pickers in recent failure. Folks on this thread have in the past decried the hordes who appeared here, ready to pounce on new picks from George, offering nothing of value other than crass "followerism." Those folks just wouldn't go away...so many of us here agreed concerning their folly. Now they by and large have gone...good. But in my estimation, those who judge Mr. Gilder today by the bad performance of specific or recent picks, simply fall into the same category so many of us have decried. In the end, George remains a respectable technology analyst who never claimed he'd always be right. All the caterwalling here about prices which have come crashing down, could scarcely have less to do with the validity of his analysis of the technologies in question. Dan B

I might add he recommended TERN at about 14.5, with plenty of opportunities to get in at that level, too. Obviously, anyone following decent stop-loss rules, with a willingness to re-enter the stock, might have made a killing trading TERN. Still, todays price is not so good for longs- Gilders preferred style. Of course, he doesn't do price, just technologies, and as anyone watching around here knows, the value of TERN's technology remains in grave doubt on SI. Dan B
