Rule #1 - Chapter 2

I’m reading Phil Town’s book "Rule #1". I just finished the Chapter 2. Here are the salient points to me.

The basis of his system is these four steps:

  • Find a wonderful business
  • Know what’s worth as a business
  • Buy it as 50% off
  • Repeat until rich.

In this chapters he introduces his four M’s. They are:

  • Meaning – Does the business have meaning to you?
  • Moat – Does the business have a wide moat?
  • Management – Does the business have great Management?
  • Margin of safety – Does the business have a big Margin of Safety?

He says he’s going to explain his four M’s in detail, later in the book.
