Key takeaways

  • A moat is a way to study a business. It is not a buy signal.
  • This record is the March 2008 hardcover, not the later ebook.
The US Wiley page lists the hardcover as ISBN 9780470226513, March 2008, 224 pages. The stored cover is the file for that ISBN. An ebook uses a different ISBN. The cover names a foreword by Joe Mansueto. Dorsey sorts advantages into assets, costs, switching costs, and network effects. Those are ways to read a business. They do not say what the shares are worth today, and a wide moat can still be a poor purchase at the wrong price. The title's formula language is the book's framing. ChartClub does not treat it as a tested path to wealth.
