From the Paper:

"Another example of the mismanagement of the Dot COMs - along with other high technology companies - was the practice of issuing stocks as a portion of their compensation plans. Very few of these companies thus configured make it through the first five years on the NASDAQ board. There are, of course, notable exceptions to this as such companies as Microsoft, Sun Micro Systems and others have indeed made millionaires out of key employees via the stock issuance programs.
However, if one is careful in their investment selection, checks out the company from top to bottom, analyses every scrap of data available to them and then if satisfied make one's purchase. And, the primary rationale for the purchasing of the stocks, and particularly the four selected here is the long-term, buy and hold strategy."
