Happy Thanksgiving. Today I’m grateful for Charlie Munger.
I’ve been a fan of Charlie Munger for decades. I’ve read every book, every biography, every scattered transcript I could find. Out of everyone I’ve studied in business, investing, and decision-making, he and Alex Hormozi stand alone. They hand you mental tools that change how you see the world and how you operate inside it.
I read this WSJ Article on Charlie Munger’s Final Years and I had to share it with everyone.
Charlie didn’t drift into old age. He pushed into it.
His curiosity never dimmed. Even in his late 90s, he was asking whether Moore’s Law survives the age of AI. He kept reading, debating, investing, and challenging people half his age.
Then he made one of the boldest trades of his life at 99: a massive bet on coal stocks he’d ignored for sixty years. Everyone else saw decline. He saw mispricing. It paid off. A reminder that great judgment doesn’t “age out.”
He built people. He backed two young neighbors to buy almost 10,000 apartments and stayed deep in the weeds. Paint colors. Landscaping. Loan structure. He cared about the details because they often determine the outcome.
As his body slowed, he doubled down on what mattered: friends, laughter, learning, and contribution. He stayed engaged until the final week.
On this Thanksgiving, I’m grateful for the impact Charlie Munger had on my thinking, my career, and my lens on the world.
If you want a great read today, here’s the article I’m referring to.
