Seth Klarman: "Buffett’s imminent retirement at the age of 95 is a moment to reflect on the qualities that have made him the most successful investor of all time. These qualities—relentless curiosity, analytical consistency, focused effort, and humility, along with high integrity, a personality unchanged by wealth or success, and a sunny optimism about the United States—have made him an American role model"

@JShamess@primobasement One correction is the cost are paid by home buyers. Developers not only didn’t paid for DC, they also profited by adding markup on top of the DC. Another point is, if DC is a form of taxation. Is it fair to have previous buyers pay but not the new buyers?
@jevgenijs The major roadblock is the tired 1 banks don’t want to give up billions of hidden FX markups revenue (rip their clients face off without them knowing it). The SWIFT is reacting because banks are losing more and more customers who find out the hidden fees.

@KairosPraxis@mario_cibelli Remitly hides its fee in FX markup. Some customers reports that Remitly's fees are different on the same transfers initiated using different accounts. The fact is that most customers are not aware of the hidden fee.
Charlie Munger:
“A wonderful life lesson for you...There's a whole lot of things that aren't going to work for you...Avoid the crooks, crazies, egomaniacs, people full of resentment, people full of self-pity, and people who feel like victims...Avoid them like the plague.”
"Druckenmiller: What I actually learned is that position sizing is probably 70 to 80 per cent of the equation. It's not just about being right or wrong, it's about how much you make when you're right."
