I find it sad that individuals set aside decent human behavior when faced with facts they find distasteful. Or which stand as a pin, too close to their overinflated egos.

ironic post of the year, imo...

Feel free to shoot the messenger Paul. It doesn't change the message. The Gorilla Game is more easily played ex-ante. Moore had this advantage when he wrote the book. And those who do not recognize this are operating with a handicap.


The Gorilla Gaming ignores issues of valuation - for buy and sell signal. It is a signigicant weakness in it's methodology. John, you have made this point and we have agreed with you, for over two years now.


Gee.. maybe the whole thing hinges on whether the stock is fairly priced or not?


John, given that this point has been made, argued and accepted by the a large consensus on this board, the only possible reason for framing it in this way is that you want to taunt those who know agree with you. This is the behaviour of a bully and it is mean spirited bile. The fact that you don't understand as much says all I need to know about you as a person.


Some weave sticky webs of fiction in defense. Others run away and cower in corners insulated by protective covenants. Others mock the individuals who set forth the facts. And so on.


Leaving you the superior person and them the inferior person and making the point that those who deem challenge you as weaklings. More bullying again although it is dressed up a bit using your intellect.


Perhaps a more intelligent observation might have been that if SEBL does indeed have above-average long-term prospects then an investment in this Gorilla would do well against the T-Bill on a go-forward basis.


An investor not willing to accept SEBL's beta would indeed be better off in T-bills or index funds.

John, stick with valuations. I don't recommend you go about setting the worlds standards for behaviour. You have nothing to offer.


Or which stand as a pin, too close to their overinflated egos.


John, what you have met here is not a deflated ego. I have no stake in the issue of SEBL at all. You are meeting a healthy self respect who does not tolerate bullies chasing away my frieds.
