Castanza Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 (edited) I can't tell if Charlie is embracing communism or simply wants the SEC to finally do its job. MUNGER: A wise regulator-- BUFFETT: We could just start-- MUNGER: But a wise regulator stops this stuff before it starts. BUFFETT: It’s very hard to stop though-- MUNGER: What, yeah, what interests me in this is that the communist Chinese behave the way I am talking in favor of. And our own wonderful free enterprise economy is letting all these crazy people go to this gross excess. People who are avoiding it are the communist Chinese. They step in preemptively to stop speculation. Edited June 30, 2021 by Castanza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CassiusKing1 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Charlie did a lot of talking during the show. Looked and sounded much better than 97 years old! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wabuffo Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Charlie did a lot of talking during the show. Too much talking.... QUICK: What about what they’ve done to Jack Ma? He’s kind of disappeared as-- MUNGER: Well, yes, but Jack Ma is one of the swingers. So, they just cut his, they said, “To hell with you.” He basically gave a speech when he said to a, to a one-party state, “Well, you guys are a buncha jerks, don’t know what you’re doing. And I know what I’m doing, and I’m gonna do it better.” And he was gonna wade into banking and no rules and just do whatever he pleased. QUICK: He also brought-- MUNGER: The Chinese, the Chinese-- QUICK: Banking to a lot of people— MUNGER: Communists did the right thing. They just called in Jack Ma and say, “You aren’t gonna do it, sonny.” And, and I wish we had a, I don’t want the, all of the Chinese system, but I certainly would like to have the financial part of it in my own country. wabuffo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thelilyinvestor Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Like him or not... but Charlie is dead honest about what he thinks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LearningMachine Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 His comments about Jack Ma and communists were indeed the most interesting parts :-). I also found the following interesting: Quote MUNGER: Well, I think a lot of business travel will never come back. Just corporation after corporation deciding one meeting a year, two meetings a year in person, and the rest Zoom. And I think that’s here to stay. And, of course, what’s happened to office demand is just think of the agonies in that field now. And a lot of people have found they don’t need to be there. I think all kinds of things are gonna happen that, that we’ll be, we don’t go back to what we did before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Hjorth Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 (edited) Mr. Munger does not give a damn about what you & I think about his statements in the interview.

valueinvesting101 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I am wondering about motivation behind doing this interview. I hope Charlie is doing good and wish him great many years ahead!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gfp Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 The interview was taped in Pasadena right after the Annual Meeting. The motivation is that Warren and Charlie were together in the same place for the first time since the pandemic started and both are firmly in "overtime" to quote the younger fella.

Peregrine Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 (edited) I think what Munger said about Ma and Ant is on the money. Ant was doing loan originations while offloading 100% of the credit risk to other banks - there's a big moral hazard and misalignment of incentives in that kind of lending model. And it was becoming larger and larger with no checks and balances on its growth. The Chinese government is right to be nervous about seeing something like that outside of its regulatory purview. Not sure if I agree on his view on business travel and offices though. Perhaps it'll be depressed in the near to medium-term but teleconferencing has been around for a long, long time and it never replaced in-person meetings. In China, things have more or less returned to the way things were pre-pandemic. Edited July 3, 2021 by Peregrine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xerxes Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Thanks for posting the video; i thought i had no hope with CNBC firewall, but there was hope. Loved how the interview opened like that: "Think of how massively stupid that was ...." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
