🤝 The mention alongside Coca-Cola suggests it shares characteristics Buffett values, such as a strong brand or durable business model, suitable for long-term holding.

@adriarivero:
“Influenced by Charlie Munger, Buffett realized that time works in favor of exceptional businesses and against mediocre ones, even if they are cheap. Therefore, he started investing in excellent businesses like Coca-Cola or American Express, paying somewhat higher but fair prices in exchange for a higher quality business model.”
