USG has a pretty large moat on Sheetrock products, Walmart has a moat on its economy of scale )but is it possible that they have a moat in their land holdings. I know that this is a fairly common argument among Sears shareholders, in other words, that Sears holds 1/5 of the mall space in America but that is fairly large for one retailer. hmmm....I guess i'm just stuck between its assets and its "failing" business.
