An economic moat is a sustainable competitive advantage that allows a company to protect its long-term profits and market share from would-be competitors. Coined by Warren Buffett, the term evokes the image of a castle's moat, where a wider moat makes it more difficult for invaders to attack.

Intrinsic Value Calculation: A Step-by-Step Guide for 2025

Intrinsic value calculation is the analytical process of determining the true underlying worth of an asset, independent of its current market price. For the value investor, it is the most important skill. While the market gives you a price with every tick of the tape, that price is driven by emotion, speculation, and short-term news. Intrinsic value, in contrast, is an estimate of a business's worth based on the cold, hard cash it can generate for its owners over its lifetime.

The Complete Guide to Value Investing: A 2025 Framework

Value investing is an investment paradigm centered on a single, powerful idea: buying stocks for less than their calculated intrinsic worth. It is not a get-rich-quick scheme or a complex trading algorithm. It is a disciplined, long-term framework for purchasing ownership in great businesses at fair prices. At its heart, this philosophy, pioneered by Benjamin Graham and perfected by his student Warren Buffett, treats a stock not as a fluctuating symbol on a screen, but as a fractional share of a real, operating enterprise.
