How to Buy a Quality Company
Chris Mayer is the author of 100 baggers, a book on how to buy quality companies. He says he was inspired by Chuck Ockray's Investors Odyssey talk in 2011. The investors podcast keeps you informed and prepared for the unexpected. During this interview, Chris mentions that he only made one purchase and one sell.
