Bill Ackman's checklist for successful investing includes several key points. First, the business should be simple and predictable. Second, it should have a dominant market position. Third, it should have limited exposure to extrinsic risks that cannot be controlled. Fourth, the company should generate free cash flow. Fifth, there should be large barriers to entry in the industry. Sixth, the company should have excellent management and good governance. Seventh, it should have a high return on capital. Eighth, it should have a strong balance sheet that does not require outside capital. This checklist is a valuable tool for evaluating potential investments and assessing any changes in a company's story.
