Listen "Graham vs Munger⚡️: Has Value Investing Outgrown Its Father? From Cigar-Butt” to Wonderful Companies"
Episode Synopsis
This episode offers a comprehensive comparison of two pivotal figures in investment philosophy: Benjamin Graham, considered the father of value investing, and Charlie Munger, who profoundly evolved its modern application. It explains how Graham's approach, shaped by the Great Depression, prioritized quantitative metrics, capital preservation, and a "margin of safety" based on price, often leading to the acquisition of "cigar-butt" companies at deep discounts. In contrast, the text highlights Munger's expansion of value investing to focus on "wonderful companies at fair prices,"emphasizing qualitative factors like durable competitive advantages, or "moats," and the importance of a multidisciplinary "latticework of mental models". The See's Candies acquisition is presented as a crucial turning point, demonstrating Munger's influence in shifting the focus from tangible assets to intangible strengths. Ultimately, the text argues that both philosophies, while distinct in their methods, share core principles of rationality, risk aversion, and a long-term perspective, suggesting that modern investors should integrate both Graham's foundational discipline and Munger's sophisticated qualitative judgment for optimal results.📚 Value Investing Books Recommendation————————————————————————Warren BuffettThe Snowball: Warren Buffett and the Business of LifeKindle: https://amzn.to/3FVasqyHardcover: https://amzn.to/3HIfeZ2Paperback: https://amzn.to/4kBjUOZWarren Buffett and the Interpretation of Financial Statements (by Marry Buffett)Kindle: https://amzn.to/43Vr5dDHardcover: https://amzn.to/4n6yNusPaperback: https://amzn.to/45XBBDL————————————————————————Charlie MungerPoor Charlie’s AlmanackKindle: https://amzn.to/3Zsw9VBHardcover: https://amzn.to/4jMExq7Collector's Edition: https://amzn.to/3SRgsn7Tao of Charlie MungerKindle: https://amzn.to/4nk0akTHardcover: https://amzn.to/44eq8ORInfluence, New and Expanded: The Psychology of PersuasionKindle: https://amzn.to/4619DqLHardcover: https://amzn.to/40a8TMiPaperback: https://amzn.to/40gtwq7Howard MarksThe Most Important Thing (Uncommon Sense for the Thoughtful Investor)Kindle: https://amzn.to/3Tqb4YgHardcover: https://amzn.to/3SRyy8APaperback: https://amzn.to/45ohdM0Mastering The Market Cycle: Getting the Odds on Your SideKindle: https://amzn.to/3HXPmbyHardcover: https://amzn.to/45X6AQqPaperback: https://amzn.to/44oPGYPMoney PhilosophiesThe Psychology of Money: Timeless lessons on wealth, greed, and happinessKindle: https://amzn.to/3FDbO9uHardcover: https://amzn.to/4kL3TGiPaperback: https://amzn.to/44fpkcCLimited Gift Version: https://amzn.to/4jYomGpSame as Ever: A Guide to What Never ChangesKindle: https://amzn.to/3HXBJcpHardcover: https://amzn.to/4l7vPnoPaperback: https://amzn.to/4k2ZHReThe Almanack of Naval Ravikant: A Guide to Wealth and HappinessKindle: https://amzn.to/4lx2a7FHardcover: https://amzn.to/4kGX5tfPaperback: https://amzn.to/3ZEMXsCClassic PrinciplesThe Intelligent InvestorKindle: https://amzn.to/45T9OEvHardcover: https://amzn.to/4l4f7W3Paperback: https://amzn.to/43ZNyXbSecurity Analysis, Seventh Edition: Principles and TechniquesKindle: https://amzn.to/442yKakHardcover: https://amzn.to/3TmEEhgMargin of Safety: Risk-Averse Value Investing Strategies for the Thoughtful InvestorCollector Edition: https://amzn.to/4lrgWNdDisclaimer: All analysis is based on publicly available sources and may be subject to revisions or differing interpretations.
