It is easier for companies to make money in some industries than in others. Some industries lend themselves to the creation of economic moats more so than others, and these are the industries where you'll want to spend most of your time.

Every industry has its own unique dynamics and set of jargon - and some industries (such has financial services) even have financial statements that look very different.
