Summary of Rule #1 (Phil Town)
1. Find a âwonderfulâ business
- Meaning â you understand and value what it does
- Moat â it has financial strength and predictability
- Management â a great management team is there
- Margin of safety â it is available at a great price
1. Does this business have meaning to me?
- Would you choose to own the whole business if you had the funds available? In other words, do you admire what the company has achieved and what it will be working to accomplish in the future? Obviously, this will involve some judgement calls. Some people have no problems investing in companies which exploit child labor in third-world countries. Others wouldnât dream of being a party to that kind of approach to business. The starting point for identifying a genuinely wonderful business is to look for a company you admire first and foremost.
- Do you understand the companyâs business model well enough to own all of it? If you donât have a clue how the business generates a profit, you canât make a Rule #1 investment. It will be impossible to gauge how the company will do in the future if you havenât a clue what itâs doing at present. You donât need to understand all of the intricacies, but there must be some general awareness of specifically what the company does to make money.
