Chris Hill: How might investors think about these four companies and other monopolies or companies that look like them when it comes to their portfolio allocation? These types of companies would largely fall into my more conservative allocation category, pay a dividend entrenched. Just because the company has a monopoly doesn't necessarily mean it falls into the more conservative category, but often that is what you'll see.
Investing doesn’t have to be complicated. Buy a business with a wide moat and hold it for a really long time. Mary Long talks with Ron Gross about: - How to tell if a business is a monopoly - Laser-focused companies that have fended off competition - Monopolies in railroads, trash, and surgical robots
Companies discussed: MSFT, WDFC, META, GOOG, GOOGL, DUK, UNP, WM
