This might be a horrendously stupid question, but what is the "M-word"? The only m-word introduced up until that point is "moment" but that's obviously not it. I was thinking maybe Microsoft, but they then go on to talk about Facebook, Amazon, and Google.
Edit: OK that was a very stupid question, I should have read to the end of the article first.

- imglorp 9y agoThis ties into the Buffet might be evil discussion last week [1]. The short version is, he prefers a company that "takes no capital, and yet grows", as well as having a moat to ward off competition (m-word). I think both are equally evil in this discussion. Basic R&D investment used to be the leader-makers of the US, but now it's scorned by shareholders.
