Strong profitability, a balance sheet that isn't overly leveraged (the interest coverage ratio is near 10), and a
collection of wonderful businesses make this what is, in my view, an excellent long - term investment candidate.

What I'm not doing though is buying at a P / E of 20 and expecting the stock to one day trade at a P / E of 40 — even though, I know, there may come a time where Mr. Market gets overexcited with this
kind of wonderful business and really does give it a P / E of 40.
What I am interested in is acquiring as much ownership as I can in a broad
collection of wonderful businesses; firms that reward me, my husband, and our family with our share of the sales and profits from the underlying productive enterprise.
