I think Glassman’s advice works for value investors who are into long-term investments. Although I prefer this myself, his advice won’t work for those investors who want to speculate rather than invest. Most often they rely on technical analysis, but relying on technical analysis often means using market psychology to judge a stock’s value and future development potential. In general you can say that his advice works for them, too, but the “story” for them is the market instead of the company’s value.

I guess you need to read my recent post tearing apart Phil Fisher's book. Holding stocks forever is a bad idea for a small investor. Maybe Buffett has to do it because he has to invest billions of dollars and he can't just move in and out of positions that we we can.

Figuring out when to sell a stock is more difficult than finding a good company to buy.
