He never There was no interaction with me that did not involve colorful language.” (Pabray calls Munger “God.”)

5. “One of the places where they disagree is Costco. Charlie is trying to get Berkshire to take a bigger position at Costco. From Warren’s point of view, it’s too expensive. Charlie used to say, ‘ Well, there are some things you pay for.’” (Berkshire sold a $1.3 billion stake in Costco in the third quarter of 2021.)

6. “Charlie told Warren that [BYD CEO] Wang Chuanfu was the same person as Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, and Bill Gates. Warren invested after the third comment, but he didn’t use his own money. This It’s like the way kids talk about lemonade stands.” (Pabrai points to Buffett’s investment in electric car maker BYD through MidAmerican Energy, one of Berkshire’s controlled subsidiaries. Berkshire’s bet yields 30 times .

7. “Sometimes I tell Charlie about the store I’m looking at. He may not have seen the deal before, but he’ll do it in about 10 seconds. I’ve seen how the brain works; How does it work across all models. I’ve been looking for a company for weeks and I’m missing his idea.

8. “Charlie is a very different person when I play bridge with him or have dinner with him than at Berkshire parties, on stage, etc. They are two very different people Man. His emotional levels are high, but he is able to control them. Charlie has had a huge impact on the struggles in my personal life and I find my empathy levels are very high.

9. “Warren Buffett and Charlie understand people very well. You’re very good at understanding human dynamics. If I think Charlie is going to be a great investor, his ability to help me with my personal problems is critical.”
