"Identifying Businesses exhibiting the Capacity to Suffer"




Our Second Article on CNBC TV18 Website Moneycontrol.com - "Identifying Businesses exhibiting the Capacity to Suffer" - https://t.co/TSICh8FXp7

Capacity to suffer is the management's ability to endure through early burdens on reported profits in short run in order to advance their long term competitive advantage.

“Capacity to Suffer” is a key ingredient for long term wealth creation and one must not make the mistake of punishing companies in the short run for choosing pain to develop long term competitive advantage.

We wrote briefly about it earlier on https://twitter.com/ashishkila/status/614794354381565952

The current article is an attempt to briefly summarise a few key points from our presentations on the aforesaid topic this year...(Thanks - Nikhil /moneycontrol.com /(‪#‎PerfectResearch‬ )
