The Dhando Investor

  • Dhando Framework:
    1. Focus on buying an existing business.
    2. Buy simple businesses in industries with an ultra-slow rate of change.
    3. Buy businesses in distressed industries.
    4. Buy businesses with a durable competitive advantage — the moat.
    5. Bet heavily when the odds are overwhelmingly in your favor.
    6. Focus on arbitrage.
    7. Buy businesses at big discounts to their underlying intrinsic value.
    8. Look for low-risk, high-uncertainty businesses.
    9. It's better to be a copycat than an innovator.
