Charlie Munger in Damn Right! 3



“If you mix raisins with turds, they are still turds.”

“Being prepared, on a few occasions in a lifetime, to act promptly in scale, in doing some simple and logical things, will often dramatically improve the financial results of the lifetime. A few major opportunities clearly recognizable as such, will usually come to one who continuously searches and waits, with a curious mind, loving diagnosis involving multiple variables. And then all that required is a willingness to bet heavily when the odds are extremely favorable, using resources available as a result of prudence and patience in the past.”

Charlie Munger in Damn Right! 1



“To finish first you have to first finish.”

“The rabbit runs faster than the fox, because the rabbit is running for his life while the fox is only running for his dinner.” – Richard Dawkins, “The Selfish Gene”


“You have to learn to be a follower before you become a leader. People should learn to play all roles.”

Pay attention to the advertisement boards around the field:

A) United States of America:
1) Coca-Cola (Beverage)
2) Yahoo (Online Search Portal)
3) Mc Donald’s (Quick Service Restaurant)
4) Gillette (unit of Procter & Gamble, Personal and Household care)
5) Master Card (Payment Service Povider)
6) Bud (Budweiser – Anheuser-Busch, Beer)
7) Avaya (Network Communication)

B) Germany:
1) Adidas (Textile, Foot ware & Accessories)
2) Post Bank (Financial)
3) T-Mobile (Subsidiary of Deutsche Telekom, Mobile phone operator)
4) Continental (Automobile parts)
5) OBI (Home Improvement Store)
6) DB (Deutsche-Bahn) (Railway operator)

C) The Netherlands:
1) Philips (Electronics)

D) Japan:

2) Toshiba (Electronics)

UAE is the only country that not qualified in the FIFA World Cup 2006. A next darling star or just an oil price boom illusion? Like in equity market, is a company stock’s price increase because of its fundamental values or just a play of the syndicate? Time will tell you the story…..
