An unofficial almanack · Worldly wisdom, indexed
A complete, carefully verified index of Charlie Munger’s recordings — every Daily Journal meeting, the major speeches, his only podcast — with transcripts, plus the mental models, books, and wisdom he left behind.
Munger's last Daily Journal meeting as host — almost two and a half hours, at 99, on BYD and Tesla, calling Alibaba 'one of the worst mistakes I ever made,' the retailer he most admires (Costco), banking, China, and another broadside at bitcoin.
The last interview Munger ever gave — taped with Becky Quick on November 14, 2023, just two weeks before he died at 99. A valedictory conversation on Berkshire's secret, what he got wrong, why he revered Costco, his contempt for the modern money game, and his abiding faith in the progress of civilization.
Munger's only dedicated long-form podcast appearance — recorded over dinner at his Los Angeles home, weeks before his death, with Acquired's Ben Gilbert and David Rosenthal. An hour-plus on Costco, the Daily Journal, what makes a business worth owning, and a life spent thinking clearly.
The first virtual Daily Journal meeting, streamed by Yahoo Finance during the meme-stock mania. Munger at 97 is unsparing: Robinhood is running a gambling parlor dressed up as investing, SPACs are a sign of an overheated market, and bitcoin is 'disgusting and contrary to the interests of civilization.' A blunt diagnosis of a bubble, delivered while it was inflating.
A roughly hour-long virtual conversation tied to Munger's Caltech Distinguished Alumni Award, recorded when he was 96. Looking back across his life, he talks about rationality as a moral duty, what made the Berkshire partnership work, the careers and mistakes that shaped him, and how to keep thinking clearly in old age. One of the richest late-life Munger interviews on video.
Munger at 95, the year CNBC streamed the full two-hour Q&A. A wide-ranging session: why he was comfortable owning Chinese equities when most American investors weren't, how he reads banks and what makes one safe to own, and the recurring sermon that the big money is made in the waiting, not the trading.
Built because the best of Charlie Munger is scattered across YouTube, podcasts, and dusty PDFs — and nobody had put it in one honest, well-organized place. We embed from the original sources and link back; we don’t re-host. More about this archive →
