The Simple Strategy for Successful Investing in Only 15 Minutes a Week!" by Phil Town, you, probably, noticed that successful investing is simple - all you need to do is follow the Rule. And the Rule is simple: buy a wonderful business at an attractive price.
Fortunately, Phil Town did not stop there and explained in detail how to find a wonderful business and how to calculate what it's worth. He says: "The word wonderful actually encompasses three simple elements:
"It is not enough, however, for the business to be just wonderful. We need to buy this business at an attractive price. By "attractive" I mean we can buy the business with a very big Margin of Safety (MOS). To me a nice MOS is buying a dollar of value for fifty cents."
