What if there was a uniquely safe place to put your money that also earned the best long-term returns? In this new and updated edition of Only the Best Will Do, master investor Peter Seilern reveals everything you need to know to practise the art of quality growth investing: finding the companies that can reliably deliver steady and strong growth for the long term. Distilling everything he has learned from a lifetime in the financial markets, Peter Seilern will enlighten you on how to narrow down from tens of thousands of listed stocks to the select elite that belong in a quality growth investor’s portfolio. These are shares that can be safer than bank deposits or government bonds. They also upend conventional wisdom on the merits of diversification, and reveal typical index-hugging fund management as even more self-serving and unjustified than many thought. Quality growth businesses are the ultimate assets for those serious about making their investments work for them over the long term while minimising the risk of permanent loss of capital. You don't even need to worry too much about overpaying. All quality growth investing requires is patience, independent thinking, and the special golden rules - revealed here in detail - for finding the very best companies in the world. For the investor truly interested in making the most of their time in the markets, only the best will do.

Welcome to Gazette, a nice, prosperous town located in the land of Erihs. For many years, the mice of Gazette lived in peace and harmony. With a very successful fire sap mine, they had all they could ever need—till that dark, dark day many years ago when it all changed. The evil Mallenknory mice invaded the peaceful town of Gazette and have ruthlessly ruled over it for many, many years, dividing its citizens and forcing the children to work the fire sap mines to fatten their evil pockets. But there is hope—a prophecy! All the mice of Gazette hold on to the hope that the prophecy of the Chosen One is true. Could this “Chosen One” save them as foretold? Or will they continue to suffer under the iron paw of the Mallenknory for all time? Defeating the Mallenknory requires the magical and believed to be mythical (by most mice) stone of Mallenknory. With this stone, the Chosen One could defeat the evil Mallenknory mice. But the stone is in the hands of the darkest of dark and supremely evil Dark Wizard! He’ll have to be defeated to get it. Can it be done? Could it be done? Does it even exist? Does the Chosen One exist? For many, many years the citizens of Gazette have waited for the Chosen One’s arrival to free them from the oppression of the Mallenknory. Is the wait for their freedom over? Come with me and travel to Gazette and join Zeke and Ledford on their first magical adventure into the unknown.

"A collection of short talks by Jakusho Kwong-roshi, a successor in the lineage of Shunryu Suzuki-roshi, exploring the profound beauty of Zen history and practice, nature, and the philosophy of the ancient Zen master Eihei Dogen. Includes photos of Kwong-roshi with his various teachers, as well as selections of his calligraphy. In Zen meditation, anything that comes in your mind will eventually leave, because nothing is permanent. A thought is like a cloud moving across the blue sky. Nothing can disturb that all-encompassing vastness. This is the Dharma. In a collection of short talks and anecdotes, Jakusho Kwong-roshi, a Dharma successor of Shunryu Suzuki-roshi, presents his approach to Buddhist teaching. With an elegant simplicity, Kwong-roshi shows how Zen is experiential rather than intellectual. And with persistent practice, realization is already ours. With photos of Kwong-roshi and his various teachers, along with a selection of his vibrant calligraphy"--
