Thanks, yes I agree with your point on competition eroding margins. But I think it is nuanced, not all successful business have slim margins, many are awash with cash, Apple for example.

A luxury product with high margins that is entirely reliant on branding, and on top of that has a long shelf-life and retailers buy in bulk. Great example! /s

  As are Berkshire Hathaway, Ford, Cisco, Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft. But that's not the point, the point I'm making is a solvent business should have cash reserves.
