    Wonderful wisdom and insights as always, Mohnish. Regarding Starbucks, they actually did have some strong competition easily in from Tullies and Seattle’s Best but Starbucks had such a head start and consumer following that they couldn’t maintain. Pete’s coffee chain was actually a big influence on Howard creating Starbucks so he was part innovator and part cloner. I remember my parents taking me to the first Starbucks when visiting Seattle. My mom had read about it somewhere and Howard was making and selling the coffee himself still at that point

    Thoughts on Pony Ma's "leaked" statement regarding Tencent’s role as an "assistant and connector" and being replaceable etc?

Thoughts?

    I don’t understand his reasoning on business capital allocation. Isn’t part of being a great capital allocator keeping cash on hand to make opportunistic acquisitions or be able to maneuver a crises more safety?
