It was natural. And we have had nothing but fun.”</p><p>“We have never had an argument, 62 years. And it’s not that we agree on everything. We literally, in 62 years, we’ve never gone mad at each other,” Buffett said at the 2021 annual meeting.</p><p>Buffett helped convince Munger not to practice law full time, although Munger was a longtime partner at the firm of Munger, Tolles & Olson in Los Angeles. He was a longtime director of Costco Wholesale and chairman of the Daily Journal, a newspaper and investment company. Munger fans enjoyed his appearance at the Daily Journal’s annual meeting.</p><p>In response to a question at the 2021 annual meeting about Berkshire’s underperformance relative to the S&P 500 over the past 10 years, Munger said: “I’d bet on Berkshire over the market.” He did note that investing was getting more difficult. “We’re used to shooting fish in a barrel, but it’s getting harder.” Berkshire has outperformed the S&P 500 since that meeting and now is ahead of the market over the past 10 years. </p><p>Munger observed that he and Buffett did things differently than the typical corporate executives.</p><p>“We both insist on a lot of time being available almost everyday to just sit and think. That is very uncommon in American business. We read and think.”</p><p>Munger and Buffett were proud of Berkshire’s distinctive, decentralized corporate structure, and loathed bureaucracy and consultants.</p><p>In introducing Munger at the 2021 meeting, Buffett said, “And I would say he’s probably the vice chairman in charge of culture, among other things. But if I ever want to get questions about where true north is, I talk to Charlie, and he has been an enormous help.”</p><p>Munger discussed the Berkshire way at the meeting.</p><p>“We’re different from practically every other big corporation in the United States in that we are so excessively decentralized.” he said. “We have decentralized so much and we have so much authority in the subsidiaries that we can keep doing it for a long, long time as long as it keeps working. And I would say so far that our decentralization has caused more benefits than defects, but nobody seems to copy us.”</p><p>Berkshire’s board let Buffett determine the pay of his top managers, vice-chairmen Greg Abel and Ajit Jain, pretty much as he saw fit. Both have earned $19 million in the past few years. The lack of any formal pay guidelines drew some criticism from proxy monitors.</p><p>Munger hated the use of compensation consultants who helped draw up often incomprehensible executive pay schemes used at most big companies. He said he’d “rather throw a viper down my shirt front than hire a compensation consultant.” Buffett has added that if the Berkshire board hires one after he’s dead, he would “come back, mad.”</p><p>It was at the 2021 annual meeting that Munger let slip that “Greg will keep the culture.” That reference to Berkshire Vice Chairman Greg Abel was the first public signal that Abel was the likely successor to Buffett as CEO—something Berkshire quickly confirmed.</p><p>One of the big questions about Berkshire is whether Abel, Buffett’s likely successor, will maintain the company’s unique culture that Buffett and Munger created and nurtured for nearly 60 years. </p></body></html>","source":"mwatch_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html;
