Chuck Akre

Just some snippets from one of the friends of Charlie Munger, the successful investor Chuck Akre. He follows a playbook called the "the three legged stool"; In a few words one could describe that story the following way:

Chuck Akre - kind of a Genius (3 legged stool)

http://investorfieldguide.com/akre

Chuck Akre uses the visual analogy of an early 20th century 'three legged milking stool' to describe his investment process; a metaphorical 'stool' provides a more stable and reliable footing than a standard four-legged stool amidst the topography of chaotic markets. It also leverages the Power of Compounding!

The first question for people that want to follow the footsteps of Warren and Charlie is are you wired for it?

Warren Buffet-quote

Während Märkte allgemein rational funktionierten, machten sie gelegentlich "verrückte Dinge". Die sich daraus ergebenden Chancen zu nutzen, "erfordert keine große Intelligenz, keinen Abschluss in Wirtschaftslehre oder Vertrautheit mit dem Sprachgebrauch an der Wall Street wie etwa Alpha und Beta. Was Anleger dann stattdessen brauchen, ist die Fähigkeit, die Angst der Masse zu missachten und ein paar einfache Grundsätze zu beachten". Und er fügte dem an: "Die Bereitschaft, eine Zeit lang ideenlos zu erscheinen - oder sogar dummb - ist ebenfalls essentiell."

Without a regular savings program, it doesn´t matter if you make 5 percent, 10 %, or even + 15 % on your investment funds. The single most important thing you can do to achieve financial security is to begin a regular savings program and to start it as early as possible.

According to the risk-return tradeoff, invested money can render higher profits only if the investor is willing to accept the possibility of losses.
