"Long ago, Sir Isaac Newton gave us three laws of motion, which were the work of genius. But Sir Isaac's talents didn't extend to investing: He lost a bundle in the South Sea Bubble, explaining later, 'I can calculate the movement of the stars, but not the madness of men.' If he had not been traumatized by this loss, Sir Isaac might well have gone on to discover the Fourth Law of Motion: For investors as a whole, returns decrease as motion increases." - Warren Buffet

Scaled Economics Shared
Just finished a Greenwald piece on local strategy in HBR and he details how the two best advantages a business can have are customer captivity and scaled economics shared. Another way of saying it would be scaled economics shared. A bit nicer way to put the network effect/switching cost with scale.
Strategy is how to respond to competition and what separates one from its competition with barriers to entry. I prefer to think of it as choices of what not to do as a way of inverting.
