For Charles T Munger who, in his own words, would tell you:
“Acquire worldly wisdom and adjust your behavior according. If your new
behavior gives you a little temporary unpopularity with your peer group...
then to hell with them."
Rebuttal, Munger on Buffett
I think there's some mythology in the idea that I've been this great
enlightener of Warren. He hasn't needed much enlightenment. I frankly
think I got more credit than I deserve. It is true that Warren had a touch of
brain block from working under Ben Graham and making it ton of money.
It's hard to switch from something thats worked so well. But if Charlie
Munger had never lived, the Buffett record would still be pretty much what
it is.
, It's hard to believe that he's getting better with each passing year. It won't go
on forever, but Warren is actually improving. It's remarkable: Most men in
their seventies are not improving. but Warren is. Berkshire is drowning in
money-we have great businesses pounding out money. When Warren is
gone, the acquisition side of Berkshire will not do as well, but the rest will
do well. And the acquisition side will do just fine.
I think the top guy' won't be as smart as Warren. But it's silly to complain,
"What kind of world is this that gives me Warren for forty years and then
some bastard comes along who's worse?"
Introduction by Peter D
Kaufman
Throughout the book, Charlie reveals his intellect, wit, values, and no end
of rhetorical flair. His encyclopedic knowledge allows him to cite
references from classical orators to eighteenth- and nineteenth-century
European literati to pop culture icons of the moment. Where else would you
find Demosthenes and Cicero juxtaposed against Johnny Carson or today's
investment managers set against Nietzsche, Galileo, and a "one-legged man
in an ass-kicking contest"? Or how about Ben Franklin versus Bernie
Cornfield in a battle of worldly wisdom? Using self deprecation and
imagination to great effect, Charlie cheerfully compares himself to a
counting horse, proposes "Glotz's sugared, caffeinated water" as a
