Chaz too:
I'll go out on a limb and venture to say that RMBS has potential to be a gorilla in the high-speed RAM market. Uncle Frank, being in the semi business, what are your thoughts on RMBS? It seems to me, though I am far from an expert, that they are similar to QCOM, except that their technology hasn't been collectively made the standard. I imagine that that won't happen until INTC builds support into their chipset. Any thoughts on RMBS thread?

BTW, I am proud to be the owner of QCOM shares as of this morning. Thanks for the excellent, informative posts everybody!

Justin

Good morning, Chaz2. Regarding your question,

Curious what companies included in the G&K Index are gorillas

Imho, the only Gorillas in the G&K Index are msft, intc, csco, and qcom. The rest are either Kings (amat, aol, t, etc.) or Princes striving to become Kings (dell, emc, yhoo, etc.). As a general rule, I have tried to limit the Index to companies with market caps >10B, and avoid story stocks, which I leave to JRH if they meet his criteria for the W&W Index. I'll let Justin explain his own selection process.

A great day so far for the G&K Index; up 1.5%. It gives me hope that the rotation out of the tech sector may be running out of gas.
