Guess the stock S19|The power of monopoly

A monopoly is when a single company controls the majority of the market share in an industry or sector, benefiting from switching costs. According to super-investor Rob Vinall, it is costly and disruptive to replace the dominant market leader, making them reluctant to switch providers and enabling the company to earn beyond-normal profits. However, the risk is that it tends to make the company incumbents complacent and lazy (in the long run).
