It seems that when one targets those relevant Fundamental Financial criteria that represent quality business performance then it's usually likely that one will make a good capital gain from one's investment. And isn't that in line with what Buffett advocates regarding his own general investment strategy and why he has been the most successful stock market investor ever. You have to wonder why there are still those who follow a different strategy. What Warren Buffett advocates is a straight forward, clear, reasoned and logical approach to investing, and it shouldn't therefore be necessary for folk to attempt "to reinvent the wheel". Despite the fact that Buffett started off under the wing of Ben Graham and was prepared to work for him for nothing, that doesn't alter the fact that Buffett saw certain "inadequacies" and "inconsistencies" in Graham's 'Value' strategy, which lead him to follow his own train of thought and develop his own investing criteria. IMO I very much doubt that Ben Graham would be worth anywhere near what Buffett is worth today if he were still alive and had continued doing things the way he always had done them.
