However, we don't walk around with archives of WSJ. Just knowing a few names that become the big dogs, you can make immense amounts in the market, and it won't affect the market unless you let yourself be pegged as 'richest man in the world' then everyone shadows your moves, the way they do Buffet. Me, I'd take enough out of the market to live life without stress, and retire. | |

You need a backer or a ton of cash, like right now though. You can also find the ones that surged out of the dotcom boom and buy them too. And you know the ones that will crash as well. Once you have something in a portfolio, you'll be able to short sell the lemons. | |
