Just 4% of listed companies drive the entire market's net wealth creation. The other 96%? Noise.
So I stopped trying to own everything. I started asking one question:
Is this business built to dominate — or just to survive?
My hierarchy: Monopoly → Duopoly → Oligopoly. Anything else is a fight for crumbs.
The companies that compound for decades share the same fingerprints:
A founder with real skin in the game
A product people use every single day
A moat that widens as the business grows
A flywheel that rewards customers first — profits follow
Before I invest in anything, I ask one final question:
"Would this be one of the 20 greatest businesses in the world today?"
If the answer isn't a resounding yes — the capital belongs somewhere else.
Because the real enemy in investing isn't a bad stock. It's holding a mediocre one while a great one exists.
