Uncle Frank,

I have read the book. What I meant before by "Gorilla type" was simply that I have invested in non tech, big cap stocks that most genericists would consider Gorillas, but that course is no longer my game. I was not referring to those co's as Gorillas in the strict sense of Moore's criteria.

My big silverback has been MSFT. I love the company's performance record, and have owned it for some time. I will not risk my investment and retirement on pride and emotion, however. When MSFT is truly in trouble and about to fall, I well sell. It's just not going to happen this century!

A very wise person told me once:
"Investing is work, approach it with the same energy and focus you bring to work with you in the morning."

My goal at the end of the day is to be CEO and make the most money possible in the market over the long term. I am not interested in being right, I am interested in INFORMATION.

Thanks,
Teflon
