In today’s episode, Shawn O’Malley (@Shawn_OMalley_) shares his favorite lessons from the billionaire investor Mohnish Pabrai, who some know as the “Indian Warren Buffett.” Pabrai is a master investor, a close friend of Charlie Munger, and a wonderful storyteller, too. You’ll learn what it means to circle the wagons in investing, how a few big decisions will end up mattering the most throughout your investment career, how GEICO changed Benjamin Graham’s perspective on investing, why Nick Sleep told his investors to simply buy and hold three stocks, what Pabrai learned from having lunch with Buffett, what it means to be a Dhando Investor, plus so much more!
