1. Huge Moat - It's a monopolistic biz. What's the alternative? Only non local Exchanges which means FOREX risks and non-familiarity with their listcos.

2. Incredible Franchise - We're all 'addicts' (actually no choice). They can raise their fees and we'll still come back for more. In a flattering sense, like See's Candies!

3. A biz that even a fool can run, like Cocal Cola sometime back (from Warren Buffett stories).

Hmm.... Tongue

My view

1. Huge Moat :
With globalization, we should view competition globally. SGX is competing with others exchanges in the region with same time zone.

2. Incredible Franchise:
Definition of franchise (definition again Tongue) is desired, no close substitute and not regulated.

Desired? Yes no doubt, at least to forummers here Big Grin

No close substitute? How about using other exchanges in the region.

Not regulated? IIRC, I believe the fees are regulated.

3. A biz that even a fool can run?
I am not so sure on this. Tongue

I am not so sure if the situation is as dire as you have made it out to be. Care to share the list of 90% that you are referring to?
