Charlie Munger: The Complete Investor

Written by Tren Griffin

Narrated by Fred Stella

Charlie Munger, Berkshire Hathaway's visionary vice chairman and Warren Buffett's indispensable financial partner, has outperformed market indexes again and again, and he believes any investor can do the same. His notion of "elementary, worldly wisdom"—a set of interdisciplinary mental models involving economics, business, psychology, ethics, and management—allows him to keep his emotions out of his investments and avoid the common pitfalls of bad judgment.

Munger's system has steered his investments for forty years and has guided generations of successful investors. This book presents the essential steps of Munger's investing strategy, condensed here for the first time from interviews, speeches, writings, and shareholder letters, and paired with commentary from fund managers, value investors, and business-case historians. Derived from Ben Graham's value-investing system, Munger's approach is straightforward enough that ordinary investors can apply it to their portfolios. This book is not simply about investing. It is about cultivating mental models for your whole life, but especially for your investments.

[Dee-tje · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Starting with that pen story throws the book off. Pencils punts broke and the could cause damage and fire

[Walter McLeod · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

[eversuhoshin · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This book is packed with wisdom-

Be curious, read a lot, and think like a business owner-

Be humble and patient and go big when the opportunity arises-

Very simple principles but people don't do it...that is the sad fact.

People are not curious and hate to read...which is sad.

Not much investment techniques but strong principles will guide you-

So a good read- Great read for novice investors or young students!
