Buffett on the lack of key man insurance at Berkshire ('94): "It wouldn’t be material. And basically, the math of intelligently selling insurance is better than the math of intelligently buying insurance."

Munger on concentration: "Berkshire has a substantial shareholder whose father accumulated the original position. He left a very large estate, all Berkshire and one other outstanding company.

A bank was co-trustee. The bank trust officer said you’ve got to diversify this."

RT @DavidKButlerUoA: This from @emollick is the first time I have realised that cold-calling might be about asking students to participate, as opposed to answer a closed gotcha question. Why does nobody lead with this point when they talk about it? https://t.co/WQEnhz4nWd
When you cold call, you want to support, not embarrass. It need not be a quiz. You can ask open-ended questions or opinions on previous comments. The goal is to integrate the cold calls into discussion. You can also “warm call” & give people a heads-up that you’ll call them next. - Ethan Mollick

RT @Brockey23: Buffett on how to invest during times of inflation:

“The best investment by far is anything that develops yourself.”

“Whatever abilities you have can’t be taken away from you; they can’t actually be inflated away from you.”

Akre Q2...

'As Buffett wrote in the Oct 2008 NYT piece : “What is likely, however, is that the market will move higher, perhaps substantially so, well before either sentiment or the economy turns up. So if you wait for the robins, spring will be over.”

Stewart Asset Management Q2 ...

'The retrenchment we have been writing about since year-end 2021 continues in 2022 and has become an unnerving bear market. Retrenchments are an ugly stalker in all markets, but, importantly, they create opportunities.'

Meta-study of over 65k founders across multiple datasets finds both IQ and emotional intelligence predict venture success but, surprisingly, the impact of emotional intelligence is TWICE as big as the impact of general mental acuity on startup outcomes. https://t.co/B4ltktELXU https://t.co/riNpeYrMFr

Is this the week where the Euro is going to fall below parity with the US dollar!? Is the strengthening of the U.S. dollar going to continue to wreak havoc on global capital markets?

Imagine if rate expectations reprice after Wed CPI, how bad this could get for EU inflation... https://t.co/lNUMUjY0Ov
