Apparently, Charlie Munger was in rare form this year at the Berkshire and Wesco annual meetings. Ordinarily I go to one of them, but this year I was unable. It seems from press and blog reports that Charlie, a hero if mine, was as pithy as usual this year.

The Wesco meeting in Pasadena was a bit more crowded than usual at 700, but still way more manageable than the Berkshire meeting. Below is a compilation of notes from Wesco Meeting.

Funny, just reading the notes isn't really good enough.
