The Emptiness of Buying and Selling Paper

Charlie Munger:

“… I don’t want to be known a person who just bought and sold paper. I would regard this as a failure. I want to be doing something to make civilization better … It’s amazing the brainpower being drawn into the hedge fund industry … it’s a cascade of brainpower. Collectively, they add nothing to the GNP. Indeed, they’re adding costs, collectively.”
