A F T E R H O U R S .. Q U O T E S & EARNINGS REPORT DATES Voltaire's Porch Basket of Stocks These Stock Have Not Been Picked By Any One Individual GORILLA--A company that controls it market because it has a discontinuous innovation ,one that is not compatible with existing systems. The market is in a hyper growth stage, and they control the architecture. There is a high switching cost to using some other company's product. KING--The Market leader, properly with a two-times lead or better over its closest competitor. If the lead shrinks too far, the king becomes a prince, and we have a kingless market. Because they lack architectural control, and because switching costs are low, they cannot force competitors onto the defensive the way Microsoft, Intel, or Cisco can. Compaq is a king. Seagate is a king of hard drives. A lot of study has been done on these stocks by the Gorilla and Kings thread.

M A R K E T .. S N A P S H O T -- Buyers look to take a backseat By Julie Rannazzisi, CBS.MarketWatch.com Last Update: 7:32 AM ET May 18, 2001 NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Buyers may take a step to the sidelines Friday after snapping up stocks over the past couple of trading days. The futures markets are pointing to some modest downside at the open with June S&P 500 futures off 3.20 points, or 0.2 percent. That's roughly 2.70 points below fair value, according to figures provided by HL Camp & Co. Nasdaq futures were also a touch lower, losing 5.00 points, or 0.3 percent. In the Treasury arena, which has seen some wild back-and-forth moves since the Fed's decision to lower rates on Tuesday, prices edged higher. The 10-year Treasury note was up 1/8 to yield ($TNX) 5.395 percent while the 30-year government bond added 6/32 to yield ($TYX) 5.745 percent. On Friday's economic agenda is the release of the March trade gap, which is expected to reveal a $29.2 billion deficit. View Economic Preview and economic calendar and forecasts. In the currency arena, dollar/yen put on 0.8 percent to 123.48 while euro/dollar slid 0.7 percent to 0.8762. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
