In this thread, you will learn more on Circle of Competence, Charlie Munger's Mental Model

Circle of Competence is a mental model introduced by Charlie Munger. Circle of Competence is all about focusing on what you know best and avoiding the rest.

According to Charlie Munger, you have to know what you know and what you don't know. Your circle of competence is the area where you have expertise and knowledge. Something you're comfortable explaining to others in plain, simple language.

Charlie Munger believes that investors should stay within their circle of competence when making investment decisions. They should only invest in companies they understand, and avoid investing in things they know nothing about.

Warren Buffet also follows the same principle. He sticks to his circle of competence and only invests in companies he knows and understands. One such example is his investment in Coca-Cola.

Charlie Munger and Warren Buffet also follow this principle in their own companies. For example, Warren Buffet has never invested in technology because it's outside his circle of competence.

If you are an entrepreneur, understanding your circle of competence is crucial. Focus on what you know best and avoid things you don't. It will help you make better decisions, stay competitive and succeed in your business.
8/12
When evaluating an investment, you need to assess the business's fundamentals, including its competitive position, industry dynamics, and future growth prospects. If you don't have the expertise, it's best to avoid the investment.

Knowing your circle of competence is also important for your personal life. It will help you avoid making decisions that are outside your expertise, reducing the risk of failure.

Remember, the circle of competence is not static. It can be expanded by learning and accumulating new knowledge. Keep expanding your circle of competence to increase your expertise and make better decisions. That's how Berkshire invested in Apple.

Hey everyone, today I'm excited to write a short review "Joys of Compounding" by Gautam Baid, Fund Manager at Stellar Wealth Partners India Fund. This book is all about the power of compounding and how it can help you achieve your financial goals.
The book is divided into 5 sections with various chapters filled with essential life & investing wisdom, quotes from various investors, engineers, entrepreneurs like Warren Buffet, Charlie Munger, Leonardo Da Vinci and Elon Musk.
In the intro, @Gautam__Baid says "The key to successful investing is not predicting the future, but learning from the past and understanding the present."
The more I read, the more I'm amazed about Charlie Munger. Today, I'd like to write about the mental model of "Thought Experiment". Charlie Munger is the right-hand man of Warren Buffet and he's known for his practical and straightforward approach to investing.
2/15: Thought experiments involve imagining a situation and then examining the possible consequences of that situation. Munger believes that doing this can help us make better decisions and avoid costly mistakes.
3/15: For example, let's say you're considering investing in a new technology startup. A thought experiment would involve imagining the best-case and worst-case scenarios for that investment.
2/ This means that the way we perceive and interpret the world may not always match reality. A map is just a representation of reality and it's important to keep that in mind when making decisions.
3/ Charlie Munger and Warren Buffet used this mental model to evaluate their investments. They would always look beyond the numbers and do a deep dive into the company's culture, management, and future prospects.
