Summary

Dieser praktische Leitfaden macht Anleger mit dem Economic Moat Konzept vertraut, der Zauberformel des Morningstar, mit der sich erstklassige Investmentchancen aufsp�ren lassen。

Das Konzept ist keineswegs neu: Es wurde zun�chst durch Benjamin Graham und Warren Buffett popul�r, wurde dann aber lange vernachl�ssigt。

The Little Book that Builds Wealth erkl�rt ganz genau, wie man den Economic Moat, d。h。 die Wettbewerbsbarriere bzw。 den Wettbewerbsvorteil (wie z。B。 geringe Produktionskosten, ausgebautes Vertriebsnetz, gutes Markenimage etc。) ermittelt, durch den sich ein Unternehmen deutlich von Konkurrenzunternehmen abgrenzt。

Dabei geht es aber weder um reines Value Investing, noch um reines Growth Investing, sondern vielmehr darum, erstklassige Nischen-Wachstumswerte zu einem attraktiven Kurs zu kaufen。

Das Buch demonstriert anschaulich Schritt f�r Schritt, was einen Economic Moat ausmacht, wie man ihn ermittelt, wie man verschiedene Moats gegeneinander abw�gt, und wie man auf der Basis dieser Daten am besten eine Investmententscheidung trifft。

Mit begleitender Website。 Sie wird vom Morningstar betrieben und enth�lt eine Reihe von Tools und Features, mit deren Hilfe der Leser das Gelernte in der Praxis testen kann。

Autor Pat Dorsey ist ein renommierter Finanzexperte。 Er ist Chef der Morningstar Equity Research und Kolumnist bei Morningstar。com。

Ein neuer Band aus der beliebten 'Little Book'-Reihe。

Not bad but substance is sacrificed for brevity。 Concepts are introduced and then not explained past the half way point because they are “too complicated”。 Given that the author has a more substantive book on the same subject, the brevity of the little book is a false economy since the real learning will happen in the recommended reading。

an excellent if unusual investment bookI’ve read a large bunch of investment books over many years, but this one is special。It doesn’t regurgitate principles of investing derived from others, or approaches already proven to be unsound, or promises to provide some secret combination of metrics back-tested to prove reliable outperformance。Instead, it takes the unusual approach that some businesses are basically good because they offer desirable products or services that hold customers’ loyalty yea an excellent if unusual investment bookI’ve read a large bunch of investment books over many years, but this one is special。It doesn’t regurgitate principles of investing derived from others, or approaches already proven to be unsound, or promises to provide some secret combination of metrics back-tested to prove reliable outperformance。Instead, it takes the unusual approach that some businesses are basically good because they offer desirable products or services that hold customers’ loyalty year after year with the help of some fundamental competitive advantage。This book helps identify the kinds of products and services, the sorts of competitive advantages, that help companies build strong businesses you can safely invest in。 。。。more

A well explained book for select stocks for value investing in a better way, not just share price or limited parameters but examining company landscape, opportunities to find economic moats and fair price to buy。 A must for any beginner or value investor。

Miguel Lara

From the best investment books out there。 Accessible so that most people can understand the characteristics of companies with competitive advantages。And in fact, it has much more credibility because Pat Dorsey is now a hedge fund manager with more than $ 1 billion under management。I recommend it 100%。

Can one of the best business books of all time actually be an investment book?Well, at least I think it can be (and Dr。 Bob Froehlich from Deutsche Asset Management seems to agree with me to some extent)。Structural competitive advantages or as Pat Dorsey calls it "Economic Moats" are truly the characteristics of a company that can define a business as an outstanding business that has the potential to be around for a long long period of time and keeps printing money for its shareholders or just a Can one of the best business books of all time actually be an investment book?Well, at least I think it can be (and Dr。 Bob Froehlich from Deutsche Asset Management seems to agree with me to some extent)。Structural competitive advantages or as Pat Dorsey calls it "Economic Moats" are truly the characteristics of a company that can define a business as an outstanding business that has the potential to be around for a long long period of time and keeps printing money for its shareholders or just as a mediocre one which will be gone with any market whim。Moats are structural characteristics inherent to a business, and the cold hard truth is that some businesses are simply better than others。 Great products, great size, great execution, and great management do not create long-term competitive advantages。 They are nice to have, but they are not enough。The author categorizes structural advantages as following:- Intangible assets: like brands, patents, or regulatory licenses that allow a company to sell products or services that can't be matched by competitors- Products or services that may be hard for customers to give up, which creates customer switching costs- Network effects: that with each new user the value of the business increases for its users- Cost advantages: stemming from the process, location, scale, or access to a unique asset, which allows a company to offer goods or services at a lower cost than competitorsI noticed while watching the "Shark Tank" show that all investors recognizing the same characteristics as their investing criteria。Absolutely insightful and educative。 I feel like I got a new lens which through it I can see much better。 。。。more

4。7 stars。This is a book recommended by my financial trainer on how to invest money in good companies。This book talks about the investment basics and mainly focuses on moats; narrow moats and wide moats。 Very informative especially if you want more knowledge in different sectors of economy knowing that the writer had researched different sectors as well and compiled them。 However; this book was published years ago and is not quite up to date knowing that the stock market nowadays is a little bit 4。7 stars。This is a book recommended by my financial trainer on how to invest money in good companies。This book talks about the investment basics and mainly focuses on moats; narrow moats and wide moats。 Very informative especially if you want more knowledge in different sectors of economy knowing that the writer had researched different sectors as well and compiled them。 However; this book was published years ago and is not quite up to date knowing that the stock market nowadays is a little bit different with the introduction of new technology that changes the majority of the market。 No mention of Facebook or Alibaba in the book。 But, it's a great read if you want to learn to calculate your gains from an investment because it has theories and equations on how much earning is sufficient to be known as a profit that is enough for an investor (in percentage)。 Feels like learning Accounting in University again。 。。。more

A great book for beginner stock market investors。 The examples may be a bit dated, but that doesn't take away from how easy it is for understand。 A great book for beginner stock market investors。 The examples may be a bit dated, but that doesn't take away from how easy it is for understand。 。。。more

Un pequeño libro elemental de Pat Dorsey para entender la inversión a largo plazo, buscando empresas con buenos fosos defensivos y a un precio razonable。

Nam Huong

Definitely a 5/5 read。 Easy-to-read and insightful book about economic moats, written by Morningstar’s Director of Equity Research。 Pat goes straight to the point, illustrates each point by examples, and summarizes his ideas at the end of each chapter, which makes it really easy to follow and understand。

Un gran libro para comenzar a aprender cómo valorar empresas。 Es increíble el buen ratio longitud/complejidad/valor que ofrece este libro。 Realmente puedes aprender mucho sin saber demasiado de antemano y en un tiempo récord, muy recomendable para cualquier neófito en el mundo de la valoración de empresas。

I’ve greatly enjoyed reading about economic moats and picked up lots of tips that are applicable to evaluating companies and assessing your own business。 Great read for beginner investors and entrepreneurs。

This is a good, short read for serious equity investors especially those who like to analyse the business on its fundamentals。 The much touted concept of economic moat is very well done in this book。

This book is almost exclusively about one idea: the “economic moat”。 If you haven’t seen Warren Buffett talk about this, it’s the idea that you want to invest in companies that have something that makes it difficult for other companies to compete with them。 Buffett’s example that I remember is Coca-Cola, which has such a unique brand that it makes it difficult to compete in terms of selling cola。Pat Dorsey defines what makes an economic moat in what feels like a comprehensive breakdown。 Even bet This book is almost exclusively about one idea: the “economic moat”。 If you haven’t seen Warren Buffett talk about this, it’s the idea that you want to invest in companies that have something that makes it difficult for other companies to compete with them。 Buffett’s example that I remember is Coca-Cola, which has such a unique brand that it makes it difficult to compete in terms of selling cola。Pat Dorsey defines what makes an economic moat in what feels like a comprehensive breakdown。 Even better, Dorsey spends almost as much time talking about what *isn’t* an economic moat, so hopefully you won’t make significant mistakes in that regard。 He also includes a couple of essential chapters on how to find companies with an economic moat and a primer on how to value them so you know whether their stock price is a good deal, whether they have a moat or not。The book is really good。 It’s direct, it feels comprehensive, and it’s 200 pages so it doesn’t spend too long discussing the narrow topic。 I do have a bit of a moral issue with economic moats: by definition, moats stifle competition, so they are antithetical to capitalism。 But, if you’re looking to pick specific companies to invest in, it’s definitely going to be better for your returns。 。。。more
