<p>[quote user="henry6"]</p> <p>Exactly, Oltmannd. We, as fanatics, would love the nuts and bolts. Professional railroaders at all levels either need to know the nuts and bolts or already know. But investors only want to know whether or not they will make money. This article is to get the latter to pay attention and think in their terms and portfolios. The smarter, more long term investor, I am sure would look further into the mechanics. The short term investor, or one only interested on the return on investment will bail out or not go there. [/quote]</p> <p>Investors want to know whether they can money. Only a fool invests to lose money. But they also need to know what supports an investment, i.e. product line, service line, organization, management, etc.</p> <p>Warren Buffett is arguably the most successful investor in the United States. He got there by having a reasonable understanding of the business and its key products. He looks, as do most investors, whether the company has a sustainable competitive advantage. Successful investors; that includes me, only invest in companies that they have good knowledge of. That includes what they make. If they don't understand the engineering, they consult engineers who do. Unsuccessful investors just want to know whether they can make some short term profit. More often than not they lose. </p>
