Buffett on Lousy Business

Excerpted from his 2007 letter to Berkshire Hathaway Inc. shareholders:

... The worst sort of business is one that grows rapidly, requires significant capital to engender the growth, and then earns little or no money. Think airlines. Here a durable competitive advantage has proven elusive ever since the days of the Wright Brothers. Indeed, if a farsighted capitalist had been present at Kitty Hawk, he would have done his successors a huge favor by shooting Orville down.

Shooting down Orville (of the Wright Brothers)? kekeke..talk about werid sense of humor.
Apply it to our KLSE : Still interested in Airasia? Helloooo.. anyone?

Words borrowed from Dr. Alexander Elder:

Trading is so exciting that it often makes amateurs feel high ...Nobody can get high and make money at the same time.
