Charlie Munger on Apple, Amazon, inflation, crypto, and more
Legendary investor Charlie Munger died on November 28th at the age of 99. He served not only as Berkshire Hathaway's (BRK-B) Vice Chairman, but as Warren Buffett's right-hand man for nearly six decades. Over the years, Yahoo Finance has had the opportunity to sit down one-on-one with him to discuss everything from inflation to crypto. Here's a look back at his expert insight and advice as we commemorate his monumental legacy. Charlie Munger on Berkshire Hathaway deals (00:00:25) "I can't think of a single example in my whole life where keep keeping it simple has worked against us," Munger said. "We made mistakes but they weren't because we kept it simple." Charlie Munger on investment advice to younger generations (00:00:55) "To flit around to various careers and go into the other fellow's professional territory and try and outdo him and do all kinds of things like that, I think will not work for most people," Munger explained. "A young man goes to see Mozart and says, Mozart, I want to start composing symphonies. And Mozart said, how old are you? And the guy says, 22. And he says, you're too young to do symphonies. And the guy says, yes, but you were 10 years old when you were composing semis. And Mozart says yes, but I wasn't running around asking other people how to do it." Charlie Munger on boom or bust economy (00:02:02) "The economy sometimes booms and sometimes it doesn't," Munger said. "We just keep swimming, and sometimes the tide is with us, and sometimes the tide is against. But we keep swimming either way." Charlie Munger on the Federal Reserve's decisions on national debt (00:02:20) "There comes a time when printing money is counterproductive," Munger explained. "I don't think we are at that point, but nobody knew when the point was going to come. And we don't know now." Charlie Munger on wealth and income inequality (00:02:53) "Nobody was trying to make the rich richer," Munger said. "It just was an accidental byproduct of a correct governmental decision made on a bipartisan basis." Charlie Munger on Amazon, admiration of Jeff Bezos (00:03:54) "I've never owned a share of Amazon (AMZN). I'm a huge admirer of Bezos," Munger explained. "It's always been too complicated and uncertain for my particular temperament." Charlie Munger on Apple, investing in tech stocks (00:04:19) "I think Apple (AAPL) is one of the strongest companies in the world. I judge the strength of the company based on how much the customers love it," Munger said. "That's a hugely powerful position to be in. And I think Apple is one of the strong companies and will stay a strong company." Charlie Munger on inflation amid geopolitical risk (00:05:04) "Inflation is a very serious subject," Munger explained. "If you look at the Roman Republic, and even after they went to a empire with an absolute ruler, they inflated the currency steadily for hundreds of years, and eventually the whole damn Roman empire collapsed. So it's the biggest long run danger we have, probably apart from nuclear war." Charlie Munger on the Federal Reserve's reaction to inflation (00:05:57) "The reaction this time was bigger than it's ever been before in the history of the United States," Munger said. "They just threw money at the problem, and they were probably right to fear what was going to happen and to throw money at it. But they probably overdid it a little." Charlie Munger on cryptocurrency, the future of Bitcoin (00:06:28) "It's an ideal currency if you want to commit extortion or kidnapping or protection or something," Munger explained. "Why should a civilized government want an ideal untraceable technology to come into the payment system run by a bunch of people who want to get rich quick for doing very little for civilization? Of course. I hate it." Charlie Munger on the widening economic gap post-pandemic (00:07:27) "Of course it creates tension. People are not motivated by greed, they're motivated by envy. It's the nature of our species," Munger said. "It'll never go away as long as you have human beings."

Apple wants to end Goldman Sachs credit card partnership
According to reports, Apple (APPL) informed Goldman Sachs (GS) that it wants to unwind their consumer credit card partnership within the next 12 to 15 months. Yahoo Finance Tech Editor Dan Howley argues that while Apple leads in technological innovation, it lacks credentials in highly regulated financial services, suggesting Apple's move into finances is a "lock-in" method to keep users loyal to the Apple brand.
