<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cloudsweeper99, post: 1265298, member: 3011&quot;]I don&#039;t think investing involves anticipating things that don&#039;t exist.&nbsp; It usually involves either seeing things that exist that others are overlooking, or looking out into the future and making a better evaluation of current trends better than the masses.&nbsp; When you anticipate things that don&#039;t exist, you are guessing.&nbsp; Apple, Microsoft and IBM were fantastic investments.&nbsp; But it is easier to see that now in hindsight, and forget about the hundreds of other companies in their fields that didn&#039;t make it.&nbsp; To take a current example, you can look at a list of all of the biotech companies with sales under $100M, but how easy is it to forecast which ones in the group will have revenues of $10billion or more 20 years from now based on ideas that don&#039;t exist yet?&nbsp; If it could be done with a high degree of probability, everyone would be rich.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
