Steve Jobs once called Warren Buffett for advice on stock buybacks. Buffett told Jobs—“There’s just 2 questions” to ask: 1. Do you have enough cash to build the business the way you see it over the next 5-10 years? 2. Is your stock selling for less than it’s worth? Jobs answered Yes to both. Buffett said: “Well, you’ve answered your own question.”

Charlie Munger: “What caused [my] financial success was not extreme ability. I have a good mind, but I'm way short of a prodigy. And I've had results in life that are prodigious. And that came from tricks. I just learned a few basic tricks.” “One – I invert all the time.”

Howard Marks on one of the greatest things Charlie Munger ever told him: “… I had lunch with Charlie, and as I got up to leave, he said: ‘Just remember, none of this is easy. Anybody who thinks it’s easy is stupid…” Because in a game where many highly intelligent and disciplined people are looking to get rich, relentlessly finding your edge is everything. Munger: “I don’t play in a game where other people are wise and I am stupid. I look for a game where I am wise and they are stupid. And believe me it works better. God bless our stupid competitors. They make us rich.”
