Munger's take on building real wealth? Forget about owning dozens of stocks. While most investors obsess over spreading their bets everywhere, he stuck to a different playbook—picking a handful of exceptional companies and really knowing your shit about them. That's where the safety was, in his view. Deep conviction beats scattered bets. Owning a few businesses you truly understand beats the endless chase for diversification. The difference isn't subtle: one approach demands real knowledge, the other just requires checking boxes.

Munger's theory sounds great, but how many people can really research a few stocks to that depth? Most people still have to play it safe and diversify their risks.

Instead of casting a wide net, it's better to focus on one or two that truly understand. That's the principle. Retail investors are still hoarding junk coins.

That Munger stuff, to put it simply, don't be greedy. Focusing on a few and mastering them is better than anything else.

Retail investors are still playing the game of diversifying risk, but it's actually like missing overflow checks in the code—what seems safe is actually full of hidden dangers.
