To Build a Wide Moat, Scale Is Essential | Wide Moat Research

3 days ago | widemoatresearch.com | Brad Thomas

Scale… If a business’s goal is growth, there’s arguably nothing more important. Can a company increase revenue faster than costs? Can it enter new markets and find new customers while controlling expenses? Accomplishing that feat should be the goal of any business worth its salt. And identifying the companies that can scale – and avoiding those that can’t – should be the goal of every investor. I saw this firsthand with my first job out of college, working as a retail developer.
Warren Buffett Is My Hero | Wide Moat Research

6 days ago | widemoatresearch.com | Nick Ward

I’m a shameless Warren Buffett fanboy. By now, readers know the news. Buffett will be stepping down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway at the end of the year. Brad and I devoted yesterday’s episode of The Wide Moat Show to Buffett. And this week’s Wide Moat Dailies have been a celebration of the Oracle of Omaha. To be clear, Buffett isn’t going anywhere. He’ll still be CEO through the end of the year. And even after, he’ll remain chairman of the board.

President Donald Trump seems set on reshaping Hollywood – one of many tasks he’s taken on in his second term.
Is Berkshire the Same Without Buffett? | Wide Moat Research

I’m sure you’ve heard the adage, “The first generation builds it, the second generation makes it a success, and the third generation wrecks it.”Too often, however, that assessment is overly generous. Hartford Funds once found that a whopping “70% of families lose their wealth by the next generation” when money is passed down. That was definitely true of my family. My dad’s dad owned two successful motels in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.
South Carolina Can Energize Your Portfolio | Wide Moat Research

And… yet another company might leave Delaware behind. On April 24, Delaware Online showed how financial technology company Affirm Holdings (AFRM) “is reportedly contemplating reincorporating its business” elsewhere. That would make it the latest – though not the greatest – multibillion-dollar enterprise to sour on the state. AMC Networks, Madison Square Garden Entertainment and, of course, Tesla, have all enacted their own moves.
Donald Trump’s War on Wind Turbines | Wide Moat Research

Donald Trump despises offshore wind turbines. I know this for a fact after writing my first book, The Trump Factor: Unlocking the Secrets Behind the Trump Empire. Back in 2015, when I was researching Trump’s properties, I visited his Scottish golf courses, Turnberry in Ayrshire and Meenie in Aberdeenshire. I was extremely impressed with both, particularly Meenie. Source: Wide Moat ResearchAs I ended up writing, “I was overwhelmed by the imposing dunes and rugged Aberdeenshire coastline.
Storage Wars and the Four Ds | Wide Moat Research

Artwork worth hundreds of thousands of dollars… An enormous collection of My Little Pony memorabilia… A “voodoo” box complete with bones and chicken beaks… Those are the kinds of items people might keep in self-storage units – at least the ones featured on A&E’s Storage Wars. Most of the time, admittedly, the finds are much more ordinary such as furniture, holiday decorations, seasonal clothing, books, and the like. But whatever these storable items are, there are certainly enough of them.
Building the AI Railroad | Wide Moat Research

Editor’s Note: Today, we’re sharing a special essay from our own Brad Thomas. In recent years, all eyes have been on artificial intelligence (“AI”), understandably so. But while most investors are laser-focused on Nvidia and other tech names, Brad sees another, less-obvious avenue into the AI trend. As he says it’s the “essential ingredient” in the new industrial revolution. Markets are still on edge, eyes peeled for any announcements from the White House about the ongoing trade negotiations.
Embrace the Boring | Wide Moat Research

I was in Washington, D.C. a couple of weeks ago. Of all the amazing things that I saw – Japanese cherry blossoms in full bloom, grandiose monuments, a fossilized tyrannosaurus rex devouring a slain triceratops, and the tropical section of the United States Botanical Garden which transported me to my happy place: Old Town in Key West – the most impactful thing that I witnessed was at the National Gallery of Art. It was Thomas Cole’s "Voyage of Life" series on full display.
