GOLD AND SILVER UPS AND DOWNS – WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?
Gold and Silver Prices This week, gold and silver continue to make sweeping historical moves. On one hand, the gold price broke through first $1850, then $1900 within two days.

Without gainsaying, we’ve heard that over 80% of people who venture into trading and investing eventually lose their money. Besides, do most average investors achieve their long-term goals financially? For a moment, compare the returns of an average firm on Wall Street to that of an average forex, futures, or stock trader, and we would perhaps agree that the equation is unbalanced.

MUNGER’S MOATS: BANK OF AMERICA, PAYPAL AND SQUARE
Charlie Munger is famous for stressing the role of moats in successful investing. He argues that only strong moats allow a business to earn returns in excess of the cost of capital for substantial periods of time. The big problem is maintaining a moat. Potential competitors, eyeing those excess returns, will want to enter. What is worse, they will target those aspects of an incumbent’s business that are the most profitable and offer the best opportunities for growth. Technology serves to exacerbate the difficulty of maintaining a moat. It often allows an entrant to use software and electronic communication to reduce the cost of grabbing an incumbent’s most profitable busines.
