Advisors' Opinion:

• ! [By Geoff Gannon] through some changes now due to a new (adverse) agreement with Cisco (CSCO). But, historically, it competed on delivery alone. By having products in stock and ready to ship their motto is on hand on demand ADDvantage could compete with original equipment manufacturers even though those manufacturers could sell the same product (in large numbers and slow delivery times) for much less.

  That's my biggest concern with whether an industry is easy to understand or not. If a competitor offers to sell its product for 5% less than you charge, how do you respond? Do you have to respond? Can you ignore price competition like that?

  Now, there are obviously industries where price competition is critical and yet the business is easy to understand. Groceries, auto insurance, etc. Even the deposit gathering aspect of some banks is very simple and easy to understand.

  The lending part not so much.

  My concern is a durable competitive advantage. Som ething that I can recognize. I have to be able to understand it. In some sense, to actually imagine it. There are many companies with competitive advantages that are just too esoteric for me to understand. Id probably recognize them if I worked in that industry day after day. You notice things when youre close enough to see them illustrated every day in a million different anecdotes. Reading about an industry from afar is much harder to do. So the competitive advantage has to be pretty plain and simple. Or I wont see it when I read it. But thats competitive advantages. And I'm not sure competitive advantages are the topic of greatest interest to the folks you'll be interviewing with.

  I know that when it comes to what stocks people are most likely to make money on it often comes down to familiarity. Are you willing to study the company? And then are you willing to trust your judgment when the stock price moves against you as it almost certainly will at some critical
