Thank you Mr. Green for this incredible content. I'll follow Charlie's advice and buy myself a copy of your book for Christmas. He was a truly oustanding person and thinker.
Studying stupidity I think is an original idea by Charlie .No doubt others have thought along those lines but he is the only one i know who actually .enunciated it and it is a useful idea.
There''s a great story about Charlie having completely forgotten about a bridge game with Buffett and Kay Graham and he just shows up very late, sits down, and says let's play!
William just wanted you to know... I read the intro + first chapter of your book, then ordered 5 more copies to gift to my friends. 🙃 I can tell it's gonna be a banger.
William investing Alibaba was not a stupid mistake. When those two men make a recommendation you take it every single time. BYD made them look foolish for six years, until it didn’t.
Take heart Mr. Green. The sun hasn't set on Alibaba. Even Charlie Munger's Daily Journal didn't completely sell out of their position so they must still believe in the company.
Munger was right about Sears, the strange thing about how Amazon went on to dominate retail is that Sears began as a type of a late 19th Century Amazon without the Internet. People would order all sorts of items (including houses) from a Sears catalog. Sears was an Amazon prototype before there was an Amazon.
You are right I had thought of that too. What is epic is that they blew all their advantage. They even had their own appliances and tools and clothing .The fact that bezos started from nothing and overtook them shows just how special bezos is.
@@jimjackson4256 I think that Wall-Mart's dominance in this arena prior to Amazon weakened them to the point that they couldn't survive. The Zellers, K-Mart, Simpsons and Sears are mostly gone now. Sam Walton was able to walk in a competitor's store (or send his employees to do so) and identify features that they were doing better than he was and copy these ideas from his competitors. This is similar to how Microsoft took ideas and features from the products of their competitors and made their own versions, or in some cases better versions such as Excel was better than Lotus 123 and Word better than WordPerfect.

Il be honesty here I don’t like to say anyone is lying but I would love see proof of Munger saying what’s been portrayed in this video, I’m going to have tune out at the 29 minute mark there is to much promoting your book. Your book is okay I wouldn’t say it’s revolutionary in the slightest. Just my opinion.
Hi @justinbeghly1435. That's a good question. When I interviewed Peter Lynch many years ago, he talked to me about a fashion brand that was very profitable and then got unpredictably crushed by a change in styles due to the "Bonnie & Clyde" movie's success. Peter told me that his boss, Ned Johnson (who ran Fidelity), said to him, "Things come out of left field every now and then." I think Alibaba was a case where you couldn't really have predicted that Jack Ma would alienate the Chinese government, which would then set out to teach him and his company a lesson, with a bombardment of regulatory and political pressure that would knock it off track for several years. So, for me, I think this loss (on paper, at least) is a helpful reminder that I need to diversify, not put too many eggs in one basket, and be very humble about my ability to predict the future... Warm wishes, William
Alibaba was bad because investors were looking at the quality of the business in isolation, without giving enough consideration to the environment that the business operates in. It was always a great business, but it's success is subject to the whims of the Chinese government, and since Jack Ma annoyed them, they have knocked Alibaba down a few pegs. Western investors didn't expect the government to be so punative to one of it's own companies, but in China it's politics first and business second. This has also enabled up and coming rivals to take market share from Alibaba in the e-commerce and cloud sectors. The company should still do OK, as long as the government has finished punishing them, and gives them a chance to recover from the damage they received enough to maintain a decent level of success in the face of increased competition. Alibaba is currently very cheap, but it's not without risk. Personally, I prefer Tencent out of the Chinese tech giants. It's not as cheap, but it's also not as risky.
I’ve only made it to the 29 minute mark, I am in very much doubt that Charlie Munger has said what Richard has said. I don’t in the slightest think munger said his book is revolutionary. I think there a few lies being told here for books sales, I’ve read the book and it’s meh
Does Charlie not get too much credit in comparison to Buffett? . I don't think Warren would have ploughed so much money into the likes of Alibaba. Most of the great investments were Warren's.
Charlie completely changed Warren’s model from looking for fair companies selling at good prices to looking for good companies selling at fair prices. Without him there would be no Coke, AMEX, BofA, Wells Fargo, Apple (and many others) investments
And also, don’t forget, baba is a bad investment up until this point in history for Charlie. Someday that may change. But as with all investing, the sentiment can shift rapidly in the future. There’s a reason he hasn’t sold out on it yet. It has been his worst investment up to this point in time. There’s a difference. Poor investment vs good fundamentals with a poor performance for a long while.
The acquisition of Sea’s candies was the watershed moment everyone points to where Charlie convinced Warren to pay up for a quality business. Of course Alibaba didn’t work out great but look at BYD and Apple
Nah, Charlie doesn't get enough credit in comparison to Warren. Charlie influenced Warren to change his investing style from buying and flipping cheap companies to focusing more on longer term quality compounders. Charlie was the one who pushed Berkshire towards investing in companies like Apple and BYD.

Was Alibaba a bad investment because you paid too much or the company is lacking?
