“None ever sold a share in their lifetime.“

A lot of people wish they could say that. Well played!

I will be telling my eldest son this story tonight at dinner. He has been a shareholder since he was 3 days old. He is studying the Buffett, Munger way and gets it. I am optimistic he will learn from my mistakes (too much tinkering and distraction on things that were not important. Worrying about a little over valuation at times. I have improved over the years but was too slow to learn).

Your story of holding compounders for a lifetime, is a great demonstration of zooming out and avoiding short term noise. There is a real trap for people to over analyse. Take a simple idea and take it seriously, as Munger said.
