John,
I don't think he was denigrating people who buy expensive stock. Rather, he was saying that it time and skill to turn inexpensive stock into good bonsai, whereas one could (if one were so inclined) employ a minimum of time and skill by buying something expensive and already pretty well styled. But the flip side is, if one puts in a minimum of time and skill, before long even the most expensive and beautiful bonsai will end up unsightly and perhaps dead.
So the question isn't really how much money one spends on stock, but on what one does with whatever stock one is able to afford.
