Charlie Munger: Warren says it's always a mistake to marry for money and it's really stupid if you're already rich.

"Warren and I never tried to make money out of dumb buyers. We tried to make money buying. If we were selling horse shit we didn't want to pretend it was a cure for arthritis. It's better to go through our life than theirs." https://t.co/B6c2XBnmQS

Munger on diversification: The whole idea is totally ridiculous. It doesn't work. It gives you an impossible task... I find it agony. Who would want to do it?

Charlie Munger: The idea of diversification makes sense to a point if you don't know what you're doing/don't want to be embarrassed... But the investment pros think they're helping you. Anyone can diversify a portfolio...

Munger: Think about how much New York state needs money from finance. What would happen to Manhattan if there weren't any fees?... It costs about $50,000 to send your kid to preschool. If your game is money management you have a serious problem. I don't have any solutions. $DJCO

MUNGER: "How is that profession handling this situation as indexing gets more popular, including at a lot of fancy places? I've got a simple answer they're handling it with denial." #DJCOmeeting https://t.co/H2YJYFm1Vr
