Gottfried, I am glad you are enjoying, "The Gorilla Game". However, even the Gorilla's can get trashed. ie LU, NT, CSCO. When external forces (Greenspan's interest increase, world conflicts, energy crisis, etc) affect the Gorilla's they still fall. Have you read "The Roaring 2000's" by Dent? He stressed that 2000-2010 would be great. He based his decisions on the baby boomers population at their maximum earnings potential which will end when they reach their retirement years, approximately 2009-10. However, his findings were before Greenspan raised the rates and broke the tech upward cycle. Dent was very critical of Greenspan's increases. It would be interesting to know what he has to say regarding his findings at this time. Has anyone seen an update on Dent's finds at this time? Paul
