Charlie Munger - The Man Who Built Berkshire Hathaway | A Documentary

Charlie Munger perhaps is the man most instrumental to Berkshire Hathaway’s success. In this mini-documentary, we tell the story of life and how he went through the great depression, made millions in real estate, and helped Warren Buffett build Berkshire Hathaway.
My research for this video mostly comes from this book - amzn.to/3o5DGE0 (Damn Right).

AMz K121 Well, maybe so about Munger. Nevertheless, we can learn from his experience. He didn’t always have it easy so I can understand why he wanted to be rich after his problems in life. Of course people count, too.

[@Mr-sweeny]

Munger and Buffett have both achieved an incredible feat with Berkshire. They've turned thousands to billions, and have made a lot of people wealthy in the process. I really saw the potential of the stock market by reading Berkshire's annual letters. I recently sold my $674k apartment in the Bel Air area and I'm hoping to throw it into the stock market. I just don't want to lose everything.

[@hankmarks69]

Most people either do not understand the power of compound interest, or are just impatient. For the average Joe, however, I think it is just best to invest in the S&P 500, and just wait, which is reliable, albeit extremely long-- lots of years. Or just use a professional analyst and speed up wealth creation. Most people underestimate the power of the latter.

[@PhilipDunk]

I agree with you. I started out with investing on my own, but I lost a lot of money. I was able to pull out about $200k after the 2020 crash. I invested the money using an analyst, and in seven months, I raked in almost $673,000

[@mikeroper353]

I'm actually interested in this idea of investing through an analyst. Sounds like the most sensible thing to do in the market right now. Could you give me a pointer to who you work with, please?

[@PhilipDunk]

I personally work with ‘’ Vivian Carol Gioia'' she covers things like investing, insurance, making sure retirement is well funded, going over tax benefits, ways to have a volatility buffer for investment risk. many things like that. Just take a look at her full name on the internet. She is well known so it shouldn't be hard to find her.

[@mikeroper353]

Thank you. I just checked her out now and I've sent an email. I hope she gets back to me soon. I've been thinking of doing this for a long time now, and I've procrastinated enough already.

[@PhilSommer2]

Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Instead of trying to predict and prognosticate the stability of the market and precisely when the change is going to happen, a better strategy is simply having a portfolio that’s well prepared for any eventually, that’s how some folks' been averaging 150K every 7week these past 4months according to Bloomberg.

[@LeonWilk2]

That’s crazy, I’m just doing everything wrong with my portfolio.

[@AvaAdams-ly7vu]

very true, I started investing before the pandemic and that same year I pulled a profit of about $600k with no prior investing experience, basically all I was doing was seeking guidance to make a from a financial-advisorr, you can be passively involved with the aid of a professional.

[@AlinaWinkler233]

Same here, 75% of my portfolio is in the red and I really don’t know how long I can stomach the losses. I’m beginning to reach a breaking point.

[@LeonWilk2]

wow ,that’s stirring! Do you mind connecting me to your advisor please. I desperately need one to diversified my portfolio

[@AvaAdams-ly7vu]

The adviser I'm in touch with is *Jude Ryan Mcdonough* He works with Merrill, Pierce, Smith incorporated and interviewed on CNBC Television. You can use something else, for me his strategy works hence my result. He provides entry and exit point for the securities I focus on.

[@andrewthinhbui9709]

What a legend! RIP.

[@Raymondjohn2]

One thought is to buy the dip and then wait to break even, another thought is: Will buying low during a recession work if I'm retiring in the next 3years, I'm no way near prepared for retirement and I just need strategies to scale up to atleast 2million by the time I'm set to retire

[@martingiavarini]

I can’t focus on the long run when I should be retiring in 3years, you see I’ve got good companies in my portfolio and a good amount invested, but my profit has been stalling, does it mean this recession/unstable market doesn’t provide any calculated risk opportunities to make profit?

[@lipglosskitten2610]

There are a lot of strategies to make tongue wetting profit especially in a down market, but such sophisticated trades can only be carried out by proper market experts

[@martingiavarini]

@Dan Brooks I’ve been down a ton, I’m only holding on so I can recoup, I really need help, who is this investment-adviser that guides you?

@@amishparadise1924 what the hell are you on about!? There is no shame in wanting to be rich to provide for your family. It is possible to become wealthy and be a good person. He fought for his country in the Second World War to protect the people in it, he went through 2 depressions and suffered poverty. He even said that he hated a business model where someone has to fire people, that’s why he did things different. I guess you don’t even know how much they donate on charitable causes. On what basis do you say that he values money more than human life?

I keep coming across the following ideas/skills time and time again when looking into the very rich: * Business is the best route for building wealth. *Investing is the best route for preserving it. * Physics thinking, principals thinking and working off the fundamentals is key for both. * Strong risk analysis skills and decision making are needed.

[@tomwilson3969]

This guy is a living legend. We need to listen to every word he has to say. Sure some stuff he says is outdated. What do you expect he's 100 years old. But we won't have his 100 years of wisdom around for much longer. Not many people alive that have lived through what he's lived through and can sit in front of a camera and tell us about it.

[@xman666soad]

Yeah out dated to you. Everyone in our generation thinks the old way of thinking is “outdated” but the fundamentals NEVER change, never. You and the rest of our generation think working hard is outdated, you think values and morality are outdated. You all want to learn the hard way. That’s fine with me, it’ll take you longer to catch up to me simply because I focus on fundamentals in all aspects, work, family, investing, values, morals, etc. That’s why I’m in the top 20-30% of earners with only a Highschool diploma, and debt free. I have all the FREE RAM to focus on mine and my families future. You all think because we live in modern times there’s such a thing as a free lunch. How’s that student loan, car debt and credit card debt working for you? Everything I earn is MINE and my families, not the debt sharks that tricked me when I was 18-20. Good luck to ya, you don’t even know how infrastructure works, so you’re going to really need it.

[@tomwilson3969]

@@xman666soad yeah I'm not reading your little rant. Especially when the first 2 lines are you pretending to know me. You don't k own a thing. Telling me I don't believe in hard work? I've been starting and running businesses since I was in high school. I'm a fully ticketed carpenter, landscaper, scaffolder, baker and chef. Currently own my own restaurant and operate heavy equipment at the local pulp mill. And alot of what he says is outdated cause he doesn't know modern technologies. And he's the first to admit he knows nothing of big tech.

@@wardogmobius I think it is important to revisit the concepts that Charlie Munger talks about once in a while, especially when you are feeling stuck and/or confused.

Charlie Munger is truly a living legend and wealth of knowledge. 100 years of life and an immense amount of knowledge to pass along. I wouldn't however downplay how important Warren Buffett is; he is more than just a nice guy. Also, when has having a father who is a Harvard law graduate and successful lawyer ever been middle class. Let's be real, he came from a wealthy family. The guy is extremely successful and went through hardship, but let's tell the tale honestly.

[@MissBunny850]

Buffett is actually a ruthless business man but cares what you think so everyone knows him as a nice guy... the revenge stories Warren has

[@xman666soad]

The mid 20th century is not the same as today, they were actually middle class, today successful law firm associates are in the top of the middle class. Middle class by the way is $60k/yr-$200k/yr, keep in mind having a family is expensive and if you are bad with money you will barely have anything left at the end of the month because people are terrible at budgeting/managing money, idc if they’re making $100k/year if they’re not putting money away they’ll be poor forever.

[@ksat8602]

Quite a misleading title of this video. It is without doubt that Charlie Munger is one of the finest minds in the world of business, but the legacies of both men are inseparable when talking about Berkshire Hathaway. You cannot talk about Charlie Munger without talking about Warren Buffet when considering Berkshire’s rise as clearly evident in how the content of the video eventually proved. Both men struck gold in each other, when they partnered up. Each brought a unique set of skills and insight to the table that compliments the abilities of the other. Their legacies are intertwined and it is as such intellectually dishonest to attempt to attribute Berkshire’s success to only one person and I bet either man will gladly agree. Great video though!

[@rajshaffir8665]

This is true. The way I see it, buffet is the CEO of Berkshire which is no doubt a position that he pilots incredibly and Berkshire will miss him dearly when he’s gone. It will be be tough shoes to fill. However, I have a particular interest in Munger because the way I see it is Charlie is the architect who designed Berkshire. And Berkshire is a wonderful peice of art indeed.
