2. Warren Buffett talked about his business partner Charlie Munger in his letter. He said they both think alike but what it takes Warren Buffett a page to explain, Charlie Munger sums up in a sentence. Charlie Munger’s version, moreover, is always more clearly reasoned.

3. Warren Buffett emphasised that his long-time business partner Charlie Munger and he are business pickers, not stock pickers. He further said that efficient markets exist only in textbooks.
“We own publicly-traded stocks based on our expectations about their long-term business performance, not because we view them as vehicles for adroit purchases and sales. That point is crucial: Charlie and I are not stock-pickers; we are business pickers,” Warren Buffett said.
