What Great Investors Do

Robert Brokamp interviews William Green, author of "Richer Wiser Happier," about the investing principles and life lessons gleaned from successful investors like Charlie Munger, Howard Marks, John Templeton, and Arnold Van Den Berg. Green discusses the common traits of these investors, including their continuous learning, independent thinking, and ability to manage risk and maintain emotional stability. The conversation explores the apparent contradiction between cloning successful strategies and forging an independent path, the importance of a margin of safety, and the role of simplicity and intensity in achieving investment success, while also touching on the personal philosophies and eccentricities that contribute to their unique approaches to both investing and life.
