Nobody would ever consider electricity to be a discretionary purchase — it’s a constant “must-have.” You can’t say that about too many other products or services. And that’s exactly why I consider regulated power providers to be good “forever stocks” that can be held for years with minimal oversight. Read More

There are other innovations, and all are designed to support the core business. The reason I don’t expect another Amazon in the near future is because it will take decades to… Read More
