In this episode, we break down the viability of Adobe as a
stock investment. We discuss the challenges of evaluating Adobe, which operates as "a category of one" in its sector.

Key points include the importance of not being deterred by
simplicity in investment ideas, drawing parallels with other industry giants
like Microsoft and Visa. The discussion emphasizes the significance of
understanding a company's historical adaptability, in Adobe's case from
hardware to SaaS.
