Successful businessmen hate competition

I'd agree with this premise, as well. I never met a businessman who wished there was more competition driving his prices lower.

As an investor, I'd love to put my money in a company that has an unregulated monopoly on a desired product.

Unless you've got a different way of interpreting it?

I never met a businessman who wished there was more competition driving his prices lower.

So, is that the only two answers you see?

Either I "hate competition" or I "wished there was more" ?

I don't wish there was more, but I don't hate the idea of competition, either. I got to where I am (and I'm not trying to sound like a tycoon, because I'm certainly not) because of competition. Why should i hate it?
