He said once you locate a group of stock you could possibly own, it will require like 4 hours per stock, to research, before it makes it to your list. Once on your list it will take just 15 minutes a day to see if the stock meets the "buy" criteria. Details boys & girls, details... You have to pay attention to the details in the book.

Where do you stand with the Rule #1 strategy? Did you completely give up on it, or are you still trying to find stocks that meet the criteria? I've been driving myself absolutely NUTS trying to find a solid investment strategy that meets my needs. I'd consider myself an aggressive investor, yet I don't like to take stupid risks. For the most part, I only invest in mutual funds right now, but I want to be more active which is why I started reading Rule #1. The toughest part, obviously, is finding good stocks to invest in and figuring out when to invest. Rule #1 seems to cover all that. What are your thoughts? Please email me personally and let me know if you respond to this post. Thanks! Dave Hey Dividend Guy!

The 15 minutes claim is BS though, because if investing were so easy, everyone would be rich. Investing is hard work, at least, if you want to find the very best investments. It may not require very much market watching, but it sure requires lots and lots of deep research into great busiensses. If you are looking for a business that might meet his requirements, I would take a look at TRLG. Trades at 15 times earnings, has 80% return on equity, and is likely to grow revenue at 25-35% per year.
