about 1 month ago

"Walmart was noted as a resilient, low-cost provider. Tiger Fund went long on Walmart and shorted its higher-priced competitors, capturing value from its dominant market position."
Robertson’s strategy included taking a long position in Walmart due to its competitive moat as a low-cost operator in retail, while concurrently shorting competitors trading at premium valuations. This trade idea underscores the benefits of exploiting mispricings between industry peers.
