Beyond the Herd: Why Market Creators Could Be Worth a Look
There’s a certain type of person who, upon seeing a long queue, immediately joins it. They assume, quite reasonably, that whatever is at the end must be worth the wait. In investing, this is called following the herd. It’s safe, it’s comfortable, but I’ve always found it a bit, well, dull. To me, the far more interesting question is, who started the queue in the first place? And more importantly, are they selling the tickets?
I think there’s a profound difference between companies that compete in a market and companies that create one from thin air. One is a street fight for scraps, the other is like discovering a new continent and drawing the maps yourself.
