I've heard of the title of that book but it's before my time. However it just made it into my Amazon basket. Sounds like an interesting concept.

I agree that quality is ephemeral, but also relative. I still hold mostly venture stocks which to some may not represent quality? But the one's I do hold now are relatively much better quality than those I held before (larger cash positions, greater long term potential etc etc).

The stock guru story is a wild one, wow, it's evidence of another stock market truism though, i.e. don't get married to a stock, which thinking about it is potentially a danger of owning only a few stocks. Something to bear in mind for myself.

Totally agree with matching your personality to your approach, took me a while to realise that I'm not the worlds best trader and so I lean towards more of a 'speculative investor' type approach. I can remain relatively unemotional with that approach which is a key component of my personal strategy.

As to your preference for 'action', each to their own as you inferred. But what does 'action' mean to you? Because as we've been discussing, 'core' means different things to different people and it seems 'quality' also does. 'Action' to me sounds like adrenaline, which I try to stay away from as it clouds my thinking. What's your definition?
