My take: Moat matters, but cas-To The Moon - Tiger Brokers Online Investing Community - To The Moon

My take: Moat matters, but cash flow is the real test.

Buffett’s portfolio highlights why durable competitive advantages can matter more than chasing the fastest growth. A strong moat protects pricing power, customer loyalty and cash generation even when technology and market sentiment change rapidly.

I also agree that contrarian thinking is crucial. The best opportunities often appear when the market becomes overly pessimistic about a good business.

Ultimately, I would prioritise durable moat + strong free cash flow + sensible valuation. Growth is valuable, but paying any price for growth is not.
