Another 1996 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting excerpt via OID:
Munger: We have such a fingers and toes-style around here. Warren often talks about these discounted cash flows, but I've never seen him do one.
Buffett: Some things you only do in private, Charlie.
Munger: Yeah. If it isn't perfectly obvious that it's going to work out well if you do the calculation, then he tends to go on to the next idea.
Buffett: That's true. It's sort of automatic. If you have to actually do it with pencil and paper, it's too close to think about. It ought to just kind of scream at you that you've got this huge margin of safety.
