<< Dreman has beaten the dow by about 2 % per year on average. Like I said, he is a good value investor. Nice of you to cut that part out. His returns are not great and you know it.>> Now please start paying attention here, Eugene. Like I said before, beating the dow by 2% per year for 18 years with low-beta stocks is excellent. Got it? << Any tech investor who has stuck to with leaders and held for years, has hammered the dow. >> And any investor who did this was taking lots of RISK too, with these high-beta stocks. Got it? jeeez. Tommorow, if you're up to it, we'll try the alphabet.

Eugene -- you mention some truly great stocks in your post. AMZN seems out of place in their company from my point of view. The message of AMZN is you don't have to be a great company, or have great prospects or even a track record, etc -- you just need momentum and hype. I don't see any other stocks on your list with that low character -- I see great companies that are good long-term investments, although pretty pricey in today's market. Some of them may have had their day -- you might say MSFT will trend lower over time or something like that. But these are reasonable debates -- AMZN is all hot air.
