He is a defacto investment hero. Berkshire Hathaway is reality in sea of insanity. They defined the strategy of finding companies with a good structure, good fundamentals, and a good product and capitalising them.

If you are looking for positive externalities to qualify "hero", he probably played a part in creating a large number of the companies you have ever heard of, employing millions and large part of the success of US markets today.



> He is a defacto investment hero.

Would you kindly clarify what “defacto investment hero” means? Hopefully not in cult-like definitions.

To be clear, i am not looking for any positive externalities, just wondering what he did to warrant being called a hero. That’s it.


You’re overplaying your hand a bit here with the cult comparison. It’s becoming pretty obvious that you’re interested in making a case as to why Munger doesn’t deserve to be called someone’s hero, not that you’re here to learn. People have answered your repeated question pretty earnestly but you continue asking it again.


Oxford dictionary defines a hero as:

"a person who is admired for their courage, outstanding achievements, or noble qualities. "a war hero" ".

With not much imagination I bet you could place him in one of the categories.


The GP is not trying to convince you that Munger ought to be your hero. Among investers, I can see why he'd be among the most admirable. That's all you need to understand to understand why someone that is not you might consider him a personal "hero".
