This is the first thing. We are business-pickers, not stock-pickers. Charlie Munger is a long-time business partner ofBuffett.

There are two As stocks have risen, deceptive "adjustments" to earnings have become more frequent. I would say that bull markets have a bad reputation.

There are three. Writing and teaching have helped me clarify my thoughts. If you sit down with an orangutan and explain to it one of your cherished ideas, you may leave behind a confused primate, but will yourself exit thinking more clearly.

There are four. I know I will win. That doesn't mean I'm going to beat everyone else. The game is very easy if you know what you're buying. According toBuffett, shares are pieces of a business.

There are five. The successor is not warming up. I'm out there even though I'm in overtime.

There are six. He's winning because he's taking on all these people who have all this stuff and he has an idea. That's America, right? It's not possible to dream it up. It is amazing.

There are seven. It wasn't possible but it did. He would have asked, "What do you think of this idea?" if they had stopped in Omaha on their way to Seattle. I would have told him good luck. Amazon's evolution from an online bookseller to a technology titan was referred to byBuffett.

There are eight. In the last couple of years, Wall Street has encouraged the stock market to be more of an investment than a gambling place.

There are nine. If you told me that you owned all of the world's bitcoins, I wouldn't take it because I wouldn't use it. I would have to give it away to you. It isn't going to make a difference.

There are ten. The best way to protect yourself against inflation is to have your own earnings power. Anything that develops you is the greatest investment.

The ultimate investor is Warren Buffet.
