"Play the long game and in the end the universe will conspire to help you in a manner that will blow you away . It would be difficult to come up with examples of people who were very reliable who are very honest who are very hardworking who had very high integrity and did terribly in life that would be very difficult to come up with . " - Mohnish Pabrai

[@voicuioanpaul6975]

Great interview! Mohnish is a way too interesting personality to ask him over and over about the dinner with Warren in 2007. Kudos to the host for the great job

[@WeStudyBillionaires]

Thanks so much for tuning in! 🙌

[@Dividendflywheel]

@@WeStudyBillionaires I don’t “skip classes” :-)

[@WayneHan]

Its quite good to see the host asking a lot different questions, if I had the chance to raise the question, I will ask what Munger said to him when Pabrai and his wife are in the middle of a divorce.

[@RParkinson]

I’ve always wanted to know this! He’s referenced it multiple times but nobody has pushed him into it. I recall Charlie telling him to watch a specific film and it will give him the answer…

[@WeStudyBillionaires]

Happy to hear you liked our different angle on this interview! ♥

[@Antonio-dp9tf]

Great video Monish, thanks. I had one of those companys this year but i cannot standed up, i sold and got the almost 30% benefit. Not easy you know... if i bcame more wealthy i will start to manage in that way but by the moment what i want is to see green numbers and growing account for a peace of mind, i need more money faster XDXD, dont tell me nothing, i know is exactly the opposite way but the world is a crazy place, i just have to survive in here...

[@WeStudyBillionaires]

Thanks for watching! 🙌

[@debchak27]

if someone says Assam Tea is the best, then that person hasn't ever tasted Darjeeling Tea. Anyway, great respect for Mohnish for the thoughts on life, investments and relationships.

[@WeStudyBillionaires]

Thanks so much for watching! 💯

[@user-qs1jt3hc8f]

Mohnish Pabrai made a mistake saiyng 18% compounded since after the peak in the '80s you couldn't reinvest coupons at 18%

[@KamilMauel]

Entering 2023 the Fund lost -71% last 5Y-1Q. Outperformed by SPY and QQQ +450% and 500%. Crazy recovered in the following 14 months. Now down again (slightly) since the 2018 Q1. SPY almost doubled, QQQ almost tripled. Long term alfa safe thanks to the powerful start in the bear market. The Guy Spear case is similar yet he lost almost all of the headroom, beaten 6 years in a row. Nobody less Buffet has been winning with the market longer than 3 decades.

[@sjamielZu]

What about Francois rochon, Russo, Gayner, Akre, Sequoia? And Li Lu, Bill Ackman almost outperformed 3 decades right?

[@riumudamc4686]

Look at Stanley Druckenmiller

[@KamilMauel]

@@riumudamc4686 That is exactly the 3 decades story 1981-2010 +30% CAGR public fund. There has been a private one thence yet there is a disperse info about the performance yet definitely way worse than before. Probably close to the market with much more volatility. E.g. -60% in 2022 vs 30 years with none down. +30 years is a challenge even for Buffet. 1962 -1998/06 +30% CAGR. Since 1998/06 +8% CAGR. BTW Do you know any long term funds performance tracker?

[@KamilMauel]

@@sjamielZu Bill Acman’s Pershing Square Holdings is 20 years old and 16.4% vs 9.7% S&P 500 net CAGR. However no alfa since 2013. Li LU claimed 30% yearly since 1998. Great, yet 4 years left till 3 decades criterion. François Rochon is breaking the barrier. Global and US portfolio about +5pp alfa in 31 years. However the latter has underperformed since 2016.

[@sjamielZu]

@@KamilMauel partly true. Li lu and Bill need indeed a couple of years to fully prove themselves (30yrs alpha), but their current long-term outperformance is not negligible... And Rochon did outperform since 2016? Look at his "Letters to partners"

[@tarlcabot1970]

So, don't let loyalty stand in your way. Phase out your old friends if you find somebody "better." Wow! I wonder how Mohnish would feel if someone did that to him.

[@tarlcabot1970]

Stig, may I ask for your thoughts about this? Agree? Disagree? Am I interpreting what he said the wrong way? Thank you.

[@deoman99]

a lot of things i do not agree with.yes i am a skeptic .

[@chineduogbonna6947]

What of risks of Erdogan’s unorthodox economic policies, crashing the Lira? How is Mohnish factoring these risks?

[@chineduogbonna6947]

Hard core Islamists parties are growing stronger in Erdogan’s Turkey? There is a gradual shift away from secularism. These are risks Mohnish does not seem to be factoring into his turkey involvements.
