Although many people speculate on who might be the "next Warren Buffett", I've never heard similar questions about who might be the "next Charlie Munger". That's because it is perfectly obvious to everyone that there will never be another Charlie Munger. $DJCO

Munger tells a good joke; room explodes in laughter. Funniest part is watching his self-satisfied smile.
He’s walking with a cane, but his mind hasn’t lost its stride. His reading, learning, thinking, curosity, and engagement with the world remains an inspiration. $DJCO

“If they made me CEO of a company with a million employees and said ‘change the culture Charlie’ I would regard that as a sentence to hell.
I think it would be hard to change the culture of a restaurant”

Munger on future of oil: “it’s a weird subject... eventually it will get harder to get and will get more expensive. We will need it for a long time.”
Maintains his position to use other country’s oil and preserve what we could produce. Acknowledges 99% of peeps disagree. $DJCO

Munger on #banking: 'Temptations to do something stupid in banking are way greater than most businesses' .... Banking is a dangerous place to invest. There are a few exceptions. Berkshire tried to pick a few exceptions. $DJCO

Charlie Munger just said regulators should “ease up” on Wells Fargo after they admitted to fraud & corruption.
He then said “Bitcoin is noxious poison” & “totally asinine.”
This is the nonsense driving so many intelligent technologists to build a future free from corruption.
