Munger: A Lesson on Elementary, Wordly Wisdom

[dcollon]

Since the news is generally slow today and I'm sick of hearing about those people that supposedly work hard in a district out east I thought I would post one of my favorite speeches from Charlie Munger.  It's a great read on most any day, but certainly a day like today.

 

Happy New Year to everyone.

Reading "Investing: The Last Liberal Art", this speech is the intro. Reading Munger always puts a smile on my face.

compoundinglife,

 

I totally agree.  Just because we're on the discussion, I attached another one of my favorites.

Excellent point, to re-read Munger instead of  listening to the talking heads or reading some drivel that purports to explain why the market moved as it did the day before.

 

Happy New Year

Excellent! I have not read that one before. I think I might make it new years resolution to read that once a week for the next year. Tons of wisdom in there. Now to see if I can find Johnny Carson's commencent speech as well.

Thank you very much dcollon,

I had already read both speeches on “Poor Charlie’s Almanack”, anyway it is always useful to have pdf copies!  :)
