"One of the most overused terms in investing is quality business and quality management. Quality is a label that can only be earned over time (10+ years) because any business and management can do well for 1-2-3 years because of luck fad investor sentiment few big orders that result in a few big quarters. This makes quality really hard to find in small public companies since many microcaps are young fragile (customer concentration) and have management turnover. The report card for any public CEO is a long-term stock chart. Quality shines through over time and mediocrity reverts to the mean."
