He's got people skills

For a sales type job, this is what really matters

Charlie Munger has a net worth of $2.5 billion

He owns 50k shares of Daily Journal $DJCO, a 3.6% stake valued at $18M

Daily Journal has a portfolio worth $259M, which includes $72M worth of $BABA stock

If $BABA or $DJCO went to zero the total loss to Munger would be negligible

Ben Graham managed to compound money at 20%/year for 20 years at his partnership following a value investing strategy

In 1948 he acquired 50% stake in GEICO. It had to be distributed to his investors

They almost didn't make the investment due to some accounting questions 1/

Ben Graham paid $712,500 for 50% of GEICO in 1948. He put 25% of his investment assets in GEICO.

This investment did so well that the price of its shares advanced to two hundred times or more than the price of the half-interest by 1971/1972 2/

Ironically, the aggregate of profits accruing from this single investment decision far exceeded the sum of all the others realized through 20 years of operations in the partners specialized fields, involving much investigation, endless pondering&countless individual decisions 3/

Are there morals to this story of value to the intelligent investor?

An obvious one is that there are several different ways to make and keep money on Wall Street 4/

Another, not so obvious, is that one lucky break, or one supremely shrewd decision may count for more than a lifetime of journeyman efforts.

But behind the luck, or the crucial decision, there must usually exist a background of preparation and disciplines capacity. 5/

@dmuthuk In the words of the wise Charlie Munger:

"Envy is a really stupid sin because it's the only one you could never possibly have any fun at"

Amongst other performance details, what we miss out while selecting an actively managed mutual fund is the AUM.

In equity, moderate the better. In debt, higher the better.

You wanna read bullshit, here it is.

They are trying to portray high portfolio churn as updating of portfolios.

So if the fund manager churns his portfolio more he is updating his portfolio

By this logic citadel & Renaissance have the most updated port

How ridiculous isthat!
