Perhaps many think this is a really long shot as you seem to believe. I think it's a daunting task, particularly if the focus is on small and mid cap stocks. On the other hand, if the focus is on the Gorillas and Kings (read the book) then the odds really do move in favor of pulling it off. And no, everyone, I'm not suggesting focus on one stock per year. The book doesn't, and I don't. I used to wonder why some stocks, after a tech tumble, would come roaring back, while others would languish at the lower levels for some time before recovering. The strongest (usually) take less of a hit, and come back (usually) to the surface more quickly. The book doesn't address this directly, but a careful reader (who has been at this for some time), will put two and two together. Jay, you could do this, or come very close.

My own plan is actually as feasible (and, perhaps, moreso) as Chaz's. I plan to shrink by 50% each year. At the end of a twenty-year period, during which, demonstrating the sublime perfection of my plan, I will experience no disruptive growth despite the repeated failures of others who've stumbled before me. I will then exercise brilliant entrepreneurship by selling teeny saddles to fashion-conscious viruses. And before you naysayers blow your usual tootles of wet-blanket reality, do the math. You know how many viruses there are? Even if a puny 1% are all who'd like a saddle, I'm on easy street. Not to mention the little woman. . . who, keeping me company, will be even littler. Pretty clear who gets the last laugh here, huh?
