OK I'll play, and can't wait to hear teacher's answers: 1) Most important criterion for a stock in my portfolio: High probability of rapid revenue growth (>90%) for at least 4 years. 2) The one criterion that would prevent me from having a stock in my portfolio regardless of the other wonderful characteristics? Weak or ill-reputed leaadership (same as dubious management).

Mark, You're right that there are no wrong answers to my test. The real part of the test is whether or not we have our own answer at the tip of our tongue in only ten seconds. If we don't, we haven't thought about some of the critical issues of investing enough. Even so, not having the answers doesn't result in a failing grade; it simply means we have the time to think about it for awhile until the answer becomes indellibly imbedded in our brain cells. Since you took the time to take the test, it's only fair that I provide my answers: 1) Most important criterion for a stock in my portfolio: Growth 2) The one criterion that would prevent me from having a stock in my portfolio regardless of the other wonderful characteristics?
