🧵Mohnish Pabrai (@MohnishPabrai) just sat down with Sonia Shenoy (@_soniashenoy) to discuss his approach to investing, wealth, and finding meaning in life.
A recap for those that missed it: 👇👇👇
💰 On meeting Warren Buffett: "More than 70 million of my net worth was directly attributable to learnings I got from Warren. I've gotten all these learnings, I've never paid any tuition bill. A tuition bill makes sense."
🧠 On the inner scorecard: "Do you want to be known as the best lover in the world but internally know that you're the worst, or do you want to be known as the worst lover in the world but internally know that you're the best?"
🌊 On adversity: "To encounter misfortune and overcome it is good fortune. There has never been a case in my life where any adverse things did not lead to greater growth."
📈 On wealth creation: "If you're even a slightly above average investor and you spend less than you earn and you use no leverage, you cannot help but get rich over a lifetime."
⏳ On market cycles: "From 1965 to 1982 the major index, the Dow, was flat... 17 years zero. Then from '82 to '99 it went from 865 to like 12,000 - exponential growth."
🧘♂️ On patience in investing: "The single most important skill that an investor needs is patience. If you are the kind of person who loves to watch paint dry, you will do extremely well as an investor."
📦 On choosing investments: "99% of stocks should go into what Buffett calls the 'too hard' pile. There's actually a box on Buffett's desk which says 'too hard' on it."
🌧️ On finding value: "Warren says when it's raining gold, don't put out a thimble, put out a big bucket."
🎭 On market panics: "When you have mass exodus going on in the theater, the baby's going to get thrown out with the bathwater. A lot of good things will go away with bad things."
💎 On money and happiness: "Buffett says the money he has cannot make him happier by spending it. Whatever happiness he can get by spending money, he's already spending."
👥 On friendship selection: "If you hang out with people better than you, you're going to get better. If you hang out with people worse than you, you're going to get worse."
👨👧👦 On parenting: "One of the biggest responsibilities we have is we're in a position to have a huge influence on some very impressionable lives. There is no substitute for good parenting."
🎮 On life having no meaning: "We're here for a short time. Try to make the most of it in that time and try to have the most fun. For me, that means playing games that I enjoy."
🌱 On a life well-lived: "A life well-lived is you leave planet Earth better than you found it. Be a good parent. Pursue your passion, do the best you can."
Thanks for reading and I hope you found this recap useful.
