Joseph's Bookworm column is published every Tuesday. This time, Joseph considered Connor Leonard's concept of "legacy versus reinvestment moats". As it turns out, understanding this difference could explain why some companies compound in value far more than others. See why here.
Guzman y Gomez and plumbing supplies firm Reece both saw their shares fall after reporting their latest results to markets. While the two companies might sell very different things, Joseph wrote about why their earnings season travails may have a lot in common.
