巴菲特三大经典演讲之二——1998年佛罗里达大学商学院演讲

巴菲特1998年佛罗里达大学MBA讲座及英语演讲视频(中英文本)

这个视频是1998年巴菲特在佛罗里达大学给MBA学生做的一个讲座,不知为何在网上又被转载起来,视频因为录制得比较早,视频效果不好,但希望中英文对照的文稿能弥补这一缺点。巴菲特其实口才非常不错,并不是说他能讲出多少“硬货”,而是他能够把最重要的投资哲理用非常通俗易懂的比喻来告诉大家,让即使对财务分析、市盈率等黑话一窍不通的人,所以读巴菲特写的东西一点都不累。半瓶子才能晃出声响,真正大师的话是非常简单却富有哲理的。在这片篇超级长的演讲稿里,不但讲了投资理念,还包括了面对工作机做人的态度,耐心读完的朋友,相信一定收获颇丰。

中英对照文本:

Buffett: (holds mike) Testing: One million $, two million $….three million $. I would like to say a few words primarily and then the highlight for me will be getting your questions. I want to talk about what is on your mind.

巴菲特:话筒测试,100万美元,200万美元.....300万美元。我想先讲几分钟的套话,然后我就主要来接受你们的提问。我想谈的是你们的所思所想。我鼓励你们给我出难题,畅所欲言,言无不尽。

I urge you to throw hard balls, it’s more fun for me if you follow speed and speeches come in end. You can ask anything about except footbal l game last week in A&M, that’s out of limits. We have come here for some from Sun Trust, I have just attend the top meeting and I sat next to Jim·Williams who runs Sun Trust for many years and he wanted to be sure that I wear this Sun Trust shirt down here.

我希望你们扔些高难度的球,如果你们的投球带些速度的话,我回答起来会更有兴致.你们几乎可以问任何问题,除了上个礼拜的Texas A & M的大学橄榄球赛,那超出我所能接受的极限了。我们这里来了几个SunTrust(译者注:美国一家大型商业银行)的人。我刚刚参加完Coca Cola的股东大会(译者注:Warren Buffet的投资公司是Coca Cola的长期大股东之一),我坐在吉米.威廉姆斯边上。吉米领导了SunTrust多年。吉米一定让我穿上这件SunTrust 的T恤到这来。

I tried to get the sponsorship from the Senior Gulf and I was sluggish and now on the back of the store I am doing much better .He said I get 1% of increase in deposit ,profits ,so all I gets for Sun Trust, yell for Sun Trust.

我一直试着让老年高尔夫联盟给我赞助,但是都无功而返。没想到我在SunTrust这,却做的不错。吉米说,基于SunTrust存款的增长,我会得到一定比例的酬劳。所以我为SunTrust 鼓劲。(译者注:巴菲特在开玩笑)

Your Future

你的未来

I would like to talk for just one minute to the students about your future when you leave here. Because you will learn a tremendous amount about investments, you all have the ability to do well; you all have the IQ to do well. You all have the energy and initiative to do well or you wouldn't be

here. Most of you will succeed in meeting your aspirations. But in determining whether you succeed there is more to it than intellect and energy. I would like to talk just a second about that. In fact, there was a guy, Pete Kiewit in Omaha, who used to say, he looked for three things in hiring people: integrity, intelligence and energy. And he said if the person did not have the first two, the later two would kill him, because if they don't have integrity, you want them dumb and lazy. We want to talk about the first two because we know you have the last two. You are all second-year MBA students, so you have gotten to know your classmates. Think for a moment that I granted you the right--you can buy 10% of one of your classmate’s earnings for the rest of their lifetime. You can't pick someone with a rich father; you have to pick someone who is going to do it on his or her own merit. And I gave you an hour to think about it.

关于你们走出校门后的前程,我在这里只想讲一分钟。你们在这里已经学了很多关于投资方面的知识,你们学会如何做好事情,你们有足够的IQ能做好,你们也有动力和精力来做好,否则你们就不会在这里了。你们中的许多人都将最终实现你们的理想。但是在智能和能量之外,还有更多的东西来决定你是否成功,我想谈谈那些东西。实际上,在我们Omaha(译者注:Berkshire Hathaway公司的总部所在地)有一位先生说,当他雇人时,他会看三个方面:诚信,智能,和精力。雇一个只有智能和精力,却没有诚信的人会毁了雇者。一个没有诚信的人,你只能希望他愚蠢和懒惰,而不是聪明和精力充沛。我想谈的是第一点,因为我知道你们都具备后两点。在考虑这个问题时,请你们和我一起玩玩这个游戏。你们现在都是在MBA的第二年,所以你们对自己的同学也应该都了解了。现在我给你们一个来买进10%的你的一个同学的权利,一直到他的生命结束。你不能选那些有着富有老爸的同学,每个人的成果都要靠他自己的努力。我给你一个小时来想这个问题,你愿意买进哪一个同学余生的10%。

Will you give them an IQ test and pick the one with the highest IQ? I doubt it. Will you pick the one with the best grades? The most energetic? You will start looking for qualitative factors, in addition to (the quantitative) because everyone has enough brains and energy. You would probably pick the one you responded the best to, the one who has the leadership qualities, the one who is able to get other people to carry out their interests. That would be the person who is generous, honest and who gave credit to other people for their own ideas. All types of qualities. Whomever you admire the most in the class. Then I would throw in a hooker. In addition to this person you had to go short one of your classmates.

你会给他们做一个IQ测试吗,选那个IQ值最高的?我很怀疑。你会挑那个学习成绩最好的吗,我也怀疑。你也不一定会选那个最精力充沛的,因为你自己本身就已经动力十足了。你可能会去寻找那些质化的因素,因为这里的每个人都是很有脑筋的。你想了一个小时之后,当你下赌注时,可能会选择那个你最有认同感的人,那个最有领导才能的人,那个能实现他人利益的人,那个慷慨,诚实,即使是他自己的主意,也会把功劳分予他人的人。所有这些素质,你可以把这些你所钦佩的素质都写下来。(你会选择)那个你最钦佩的人。然后,我这里再给你们下个跘儿。在你买进10%你的同学时,你还要卖出10%的另外一个人。

That is more fun. Who do I want to go short? You wouldn't pick the person with the lowest IQ, you would think about the person who turned you off, the person who is egotistical, who is greedy, who cuts corners, who is slightly dishonest. As you look at those qualities on the left and right hand side, there is one interesting thing about them, it is not the ability to throw a football 60 yards, it is not the ability the run the 100 yard dash in 9.3 seconds, it is not being the best looking person

in the class, they are all qualities that if you really want to have the ones on the left hand side, you can have them.

这不是很有趣吗?你会想我到底卖谁呢?你可能还是不会找IQ最低的。你可能会选那个让你厌恶的同学,以及那些令你讨厌的品质。那个你不愿打交道的人,其他人也不愿意与之打交道的人。是什么品质导致了那一点呢?你能想出一堆来,比如不够诚实,爱占小便宜等等这些,你可以把它们写在纸的右栏。当你端详纸的左栏和右栏时,会发现有意思的一点。能否将橄榄球扔出60码之外并不重要,是否能在9秒3之内跑100码也不重要,是否是班上最好看的也无关大局。真正重要的是那些在纸上左栏里的品质。如果你愿意的话,你可以拥有所有那些品质。

They are qualities of behavior, temperament, character that are achievable, they are not forbidden to anybody in this group. And if you look at the qualities on the right hand side the ones that turn you off in other people, there is not a quality there that you have to have. You can get rid of it. You can get rid of it a lot easier at your age than at my age, because most behaviors are habitual. The chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken. There is no question about it. I see people with these self- destructive behavior patterns at my age or even twenty years younger and they really are entrapped by them.

那些行动,脾气,和性格的品质,都是可以做到的。它们不是我们在座的每一位力所不能及的。再看看那些右栏里那些让你厌恶的品质,没有一项是你不得不要的。如果你有的话,你也可以改掉。在你们这个年纪,改起来比在我这个年纪容易得多,因为大多数这些行为都是逐渐固定下来的。人们都说习惯的枷锁开始轻得让人感受不到,一旦你感觉到的时候,已经是沉重得无法去掉了。我认为说得很对。我见过很多我这个年纪或者比我还年轻10岁,20岁的人,有着自我破坏性习惯而又难以自拔。

They go around and do things that turn off other people right and left. They don't need to be that way but by a certain point they get so they can hardly change it. But at your age you can have any habits, any patterns of behavior that you wish. It is simply a question of which you decide.

他们走到哪里都招人厌恶。他们不需要那样,但是他们已经无可救药。但是,在你们这个年纪,任何习惯和行为模式都可以有,只要你们愿意,就只是一个选择的问题。

If you did this… Ben Graham looked around at the people he admired and Ben Franklin did this before him. Ben Graham did this in his low teens and he looked around at the people he admired and he said, "I want to be admired, so why don't I behave like them?" And he found out that there was nothing impossible about behaving like them. Similarly he did the same thing on the reverse side in terms of getting rid of those qualities. I would suggest is that if you write those qualities down and think about them a while and make them habitual, you will be the one you want to buy 10% of when you are all through. And the beauty of it is that you already own 100% of yourself and you are stuck with it. So you might as well be that person, that somebody else.

就象本杰明.格拉姆(上个世纪中叶著名的金融投资家)一样,在他还是十几岁的少年时,他四顾看看那些令人尊敬的人,他想我也要做一个被人尊敬的人,为什么我不象那些人一样行事呢?他发现那样去做并不是不可能的。他对那些令人讨厌的品质采取了与此相反的方式而加以摒弃。所以我说,如果你把那些品质都写下来,好好思量一下,择善而从,你自己可能就是那个你愿意买入10%的人!更好的是你自己本就100%的拥有你自己了。这就是我今天要讲的。

Well that is a short little sermon. So let's get on with what you are interested in. Let's start with questions………..

下面就让我们开始谈谈你们所感兴趣的。我们可以从这儿或那儿举起的手开始。

Question: What about Japan? Your thoughts about Japan?

问题:你对日本的看法?

Buffett: My thoughts about Japan? I am not a macro guy. Now I say to myself Berkshire Hathaway can borrow money in Japan for 10 years at one percent. One percent! I say gee, I took Graham's class 45 years ago and I have been working hard at this all my life maybe I can earn more than 1% annually, it doesn't seem impossible. I wouldn't want to get involved in currency risk, so it would have to be Yen-denominated. I would have to be in Japanese Real Estate or Japanese companies or something of the sort and all I have to do is beat one percent. That is all the money is going to cost me and I can get it for 10 years. So far I haven't found anything. It is kind of interesting. The Japanese businesses earn very low returns on equity - 4% to 5% - 6% on equity and it is very hard to earn a lot as an investor when the business you are in doesn't earn very much money.

巴菲特:我对日本的看法?我不是一个太宏观的人。现在日本10年期的贷款利息只有1%。我对自己说,45年前,我上了本杰明.格拉姆的课程,然后我就一直勤勤恳恳,努力工作,也许我应该比1%挣的多点吧?看上去那不是不可能的。我不想卷入任何汇率波动的风险,所以我会选择以日元为基准的资产,如地产或企业,必须是日本国内的。我唯一需要做的就是挣得比1%多,因为那是我资金的成本。可直到现在,我还没有发现一家可以投资的生意。这真的很有趣。日本企业的资产回报率都很低。他们有少数企业会有4%,5%,或6%的回报。如果日本企业本身赚不了多少钱的话,那么其资产投资者是很难获得好的回报的。

Now some people do it. In fact, I have a friend, Walter Schloss, who worked at Graham at the same time I did. And it was the first way I went at stocks to buy stocks selling way below working capital. A very cheap, quantitative approach to stocks. I call it the cigar butt approach to investing. You walk down the street and you look around for a cigar butt someplace. Finally you see one and it is soggy and kind of repulsive, but there is one puff left in it. So you pick it up and the puff is free--it is a cigar butt stock. You get one free puff on it and then you throw it away and try another one. It is not elegant. But it works. Those are low return businesses.

当然,有一些人也赚了钱。我有一个同期为本杰明.格拉姆工作过的朋友。那是我第一次买股票的方法,即寻找那些股票价格远低于流动资本的公司,非常便宜但又有一点素质的公司。我管那方法叫雪茄烟蒂投资法。你满地找雪茄烟蒂,终于你找到一个湿透了的,令人讨厌的烟蒂,看上去还能抽上一口。那一口可是免费的。你把它捡起来,抽上最后一口,然后扔了,接着找下一个。这听上去一点都不优雅,但是如果你找的是一口免费的雪茄烟,这方法还值得做。不要做低回报率的生意。

But time is the friend of the wonderful business; it is the enemy of the lousy business. If you are in a lousy business for a long time, you will get a lousy result even if you buy it cheap. If you are in a wonderful business for a long time, even if you pay a little bit too much going in you will get a wonderful result if you stay in a long time. I find very few wonderful businesses in Japan at

present. They may change the culture in some way so that management gets more share holder responsive over there and stock returns are higher. At the present time you will find a lot of low return businesses and that was true even when the Japanese economy was booming. It is amazing; they had an incredible market without incredible companies. They were incredible in terms of doing a lot of business, but they were not incredible in terms of the return on equity that they achieved and that has finally caught up with them. So we have so far done nothing there. But as long as money is 1% there, we will keep looking.

时间是好生意的朋友,却是坏生意的敌人。如果你陷在糟糕的生意里太久的话,你的结果也一定会糟糕,即使你的买入价很便宜。如果你在一桩好生意里,即使你开始多付了一点额外的成本,如果你做的足够久的话,你的回报一定是可观的。我现在从日本没发现什么好生意。也可能日本的文化会作某些改变,比如他们的管理层可能会对公司股票的责任多一些,这样回报率会高些。但目前来看,我看到的都是一些低回报率的公司,即使是在日本经济高速发展的时候。说来也令人惊奇,因为日本这样一个完善巨大的市场却不能产生一些优秀的高回报的公司。日本的优秀只体现在经济总量上,而不是涌现一些优质的公司(译者注:对中国而言,这样的问题何止严重10倍!)。这个问题已经给日本带来麻烦了。我们到现在为止对日本还是没什么兴趣。只要那的利息还是1%,我们会继续持观望态度。

Question: You were rumored to be one of the rescue buyers of Long Term Capital, what was the play there, what did you see?

问题:有传闻说,你成为长期资金管理基金的救场买家?你在那里做了什么?你看到了什么机会?(译者注:长期资金管理基金是一家著名的对冲基金。1994年创立。创立后的头些年盈利可观,年均40%以上。但是,在1998年,这家基金在4个月里损失了46个亿,震惊世界)

Buffett: The Fortune Magazine that has Rupert Murdoch on the cover. It tells the whole story of our involvement; it is kind of an interesting story.t’s a long story so I wouldn’t go through all background. But I got the really serious call about LTCM about four weeks ago ,my granddaughter, I got it at the mid afternoon ,my granddaughter was having her birthday party at evening and I was flying to Seatle go on the 12day trip with Gates on Alaska on our private plane and I was really out of communication. But I got this call on a Friday afternoon that things were getting serious. I got the other calls before the article go published. I know those people most of them pretty well--most of them at Salomon when I was there. And the place was imploding and the FED was sending people up that weekend. Between that Friday and the following Wed. when the NY Fed, in effect, orchestrated a rescue effort but without any Federal money involved. I was quite active but I was having a terrible time because we were sailing up through these canyons which I have no interest in even though we were in Alaska. And the captain was saying we just stay over here and we might see some bears. I would say stay where we could get satellite signals.

巴菲特:在最近的一篇财富杂志(封面是鲁本.默多克)上的文章里讲了事情的始末。有点意思。是一个冗长的故事,我这里就不介绍来龙去脉了。我接了一个非常慎重的关于长期资金管理基金的电话。那是4个星期前的一个星期五的下午吧。我孙女的生日Party在那个傍晚。在之后的晚上,我会飞到西雅图,参加比尔.盖茨的一个12天的阿拉斯加的私人旅程。所以我那时是一点准备都没有的。于是星期五我接了这个电话,整个事情变得严重起来。在财富的文章发表之前,我还通了其他一些相关电话。我认识他们(译者注:长期资金管理基

金的人),他们中的一些人我还很熟。很多人都在所罗门兄弟公司工作过。事情很关键。美联储周末派了人过去(译者注:纽约)。在星期五到接下来的周三这段时间里,纽约储备局导演了没有联邦政府资金卷入的长期资金管理基金的救赎行动。我很活跃。但是我那时的身体状况很不好,因为我们那时正在阿拉斯加的一些峡谷里航行,而我对那些峡谷毫无兴趣。船长说我们朝着可以看到北极熊的方向航行,我告诉船长朝着可以稳定接收到卫星信号的方向航行(才是重要的)(译者注:巴菲特在开玩笑,意思是他在船上,却一直心系手边的工作)。

We put in a bid on Wednesday morning. By then I was in Montana. I talked to Bill McDonough at the NY Fed. But they have a meeting with bankers at 10 o’clock that morning at NY time. I called them, actually, deliberate measures, he called me before 10 NY time. We made a bid ,because I was in Canada, long distance things were really an outline for the bid, but in the end, the bid was for 250 million for the net assets but we would have put in 3 and 3/4 billion on top of that. $3 billion from Berkshire, $700 mil. from AIG and $300 million. from Goldman Sachs. And we submitted that but we put a very short time limit on that because when you are bidding on 100 billion worth of securities that are moving around, you don't want to leave a fixed price bid out there for very long. Because we going to be shopped. In the end the bankers made the deal, but it was an interesting period.

星期三的早上,我们出了一个报价。那时,我已经在蒙塔那(译者注:美国西北部的一个州)了。我和纽约储备局的头儿通了话。他们在10点会和一批银行家碰头。我把意向传达过去了。纽约储备局在10点前给在怀俄明(译者注:美国西北部的一个州)的我打了电话。我们做了一个报价。那确实只是一个大概的报价,因为我是在远程(不可能完善细节性的东西)。最终,我们对 2.5亿美元的净资产做了报价,但我们会在那之上追加30到32.5亿左右。Berkshire Hathaway(巴菲特的投资公司)分到30个亿, AIG有7个亿, Goldman Sachs有3个亿。我们把投标交了上去,但是我们的投标时限很短,因为你不可能对价值以亿元计的证券在一段长时间内固定价格,我也担心我们的报价会被用来作待价而沽的筹码。最后,银行家们把合同搞定了。那是一个有意思的时期。

The whole LTCM ,I hope you are get familiar with it but the whole story is really fascinating because if you take Larry Hillenbrand, Eric Rosenfeld, John Meriwether and the two Nobel prize winners. If you take the 16 of them, they have about as high an IQ as any 16 people working together in one business in the country, including Microsoft. An incredible amount of intellect in that room. Now you combine that with the fact that the 16 had extensive experience in the field they were operating in. These were not a bunch of guys who had made their money selling men’s clothing and all of a sudden went into the securities business. They had in aggregate, the 16, had 300 or 400 years of experience doing exactly what they were doing and then you throw in the third factor that most of them had most of their very substantial net worth’s in the businesses. So they have their own money up. Hundreds and hundreds of millions of their own money up (at risk), super high intellect and working in a field that they knew. Essentially they went broke.

整个长期资金管理基金的历史,我不知道在座的各位对它有多熟悉,其实是波澜壮阔的。如果你把那16个人,象John Meriwether, Eric Rosenfeld,Larry Hilibrand,Greg Hawkins, Victor Haghani,还有两个诺贝尔经济学奖的获得者,Myron Scholes和Robert Merton,放在一起,可能很难再从任何你能想像得到的公司中,包括象微软这样的公司,找到另外16个这样高IQ的一个团队。那真的是一个有着难以置信的智商的团队,而且他们所有人在业界都有着

大量的实践经验。他们可不是一帮在男装领域赚了钱,然后突然转向证券的人。这16个人加起来的经验可能有350年到400年,而且是一直专精于他们目前所做的。第3个因素,他们所有人在金融界都有着极大的关系网,数以亿计的资金也来自于这个关系网,其实就是他们自己的资金。超级智商,在他们内行的领域,结果是他们破产了。

That to me is absolutely fascinating. If I ever write a book it will be called, Why Smart People Do Dumb Things. My partner says it should be autobiographical. But this might be an interesting illustration. They are perfectly decent guys. I respect them and they helped me out when I had problems at Salomon. They are not bad people at all. But to make money they didn’t have and didn’t need, they risked what they did have and what they did need. That is just plain foolish; it doesn’t matter what your IQ is.

这于我而言,是绝对的百思不得其解。如果我要写本书的话,书名就是“为什么聪明人净干蠢事”。我的合伙人说那本书就是他的自传(笑)。这真的是一个完美的演示。就我自己而言,我和那16个人没有任何过节。他们都是正经人,我尊敬他们,甚至我自己有问题的时候,也会找他们来帮助解决。他们绝不是坏人。但是,他们为了挣那些不属于他们,他们也不需要的钱,他们竟用属于他们,他们也需要的钱来冒险。这就太愚蠢了。这不是IQ不IQ的问题。

If you risk something that is important to you for something that is unimportant to you it just doesn’t make sense. I don’t care if the odds you succeed are 99 to 1 or 1000 to 1 that you succeed. If you hand me a gun with a million chambers with one bullet in a chamber and put it up to your temple and I am paid to pull the trigger, it doesn’t matter how much I would be paid. I would not pull the trigger. You can name any sum you want, but it doesn’t do anything for me on the upside and I think the downside is fairly clear. I am not interest in this kind of game. Yet people do it financially very much without thinking about it very much.There was a lousy book with a great title written by Walter Gutman—You Only Have to Get Rich Once. Now that seems pretty fundamental. If you have $100 million at the beginning of the year and you will make 10% if you are unleveraged and 20% if you are leveraged 99 times out of a 100, what difference if at the end of the year, you have $110 million or $120 million? It makes no difference. If you die at the end of the year, the guy who makes up the story may make a typo, he may have said 110 even though you had a 120. You have gained nothing at all. It makes absolutely no difference. It makes no difference to your family ,make no difference to anything.

用对你重要的东西去冒险赢得对你并不重要的东西,简直无可理喻,即使你成功的概率是100比1,或1000比1。如果你给我一把枪,弹膛里一千个甚至一百万个位置,然后你告诉我,里面只有一发子弹,你问我,要花多少钱,才能让我拉动扳机。我是不会去做的。你可以下任何注,即使我赢了,那些钱对我来说也不值一提。如果我输了,那后果是显而易见的。我对这样的游戏没有一点兴趣。可是因为头脑不清楚,总有人犯这样的错。有这样一本一般般的书,却有着一个很好的书名,“一生只需富一次”。这再正确不过了,不是码?如果你有一个亿开始,每年没有一点风险的可以挣10%,有些风险,但成功率有99%的投资会赚20%。一年结束,你可能有1.1个亿,也可能有1.2个亿,这有什么区别呢?如果你这时候过世,写亡讯的人可能错把你有的1.2个亿写成1.1个亿了,有区别也变成没区别了(笑)。对你,对你的家庭,对任何事,都没有任何一点点不同。

The downside, especially if you are managing other people’s money, is not only losing all your

money, but it is disgrace, humiliat ion and facing friends whose money you have lost. I just can’t imagine and acquision that make senseful.Yet 16 guys with very high IQs and energetic people entered into that game. I think it is madness. It is produced by an over reliance to some extent on things. Those guys would tell me back at Salomon; a six Sigma event wouldn’t touch us. But they were wrong. History does not tell you of future things happening. They had a great reliance on mathematics. They thought that the Beta of the stock told you something about the risk of the stock. It doesn’t tell you a damn thing about the risk of the stock in my view.Sigma’s do not tell you about the risk of going broke in my view and maybe now in their view too.

但是万一有点闪失的话,特别是当你管理他人的钱时,你不仅仅损失了你的钱,你朋友的钱,还有你的尊严和脸面。我所不能理解的是,这16个如此高智商的能人怎么就会玩这样一个游戏。简直就是疯了。某种程度上,他们的决定基本上都依赖于一些事情。他们都有着所罗门兄弟公司的背景,他们说一个6或7西格玛的事件(指金融市场的波动幅度)是伤他们不着的。他们错了,历史是不会告诉你将来某一金融事件发生的概率的。他们很大程度上依赖于数学统计,他们认为关于股票的(历史)数据揭示了股票的风险。我认为那些数据根本就不会告诉你股票的风险!我认为数据也不会揭示你破产的风险。也许他们现在也这么想了?

But I don’t like to use them as an example. The same thing in a different way could happen to any of us, where we really have a blind spot about something that is crucial, because we know a whole lot of something else. It is like Henry Kauffman said, “The ones who a re going broke in this situation are of two types, the ones who know nothing and the ones who know everything.” It is sad in a way. I urge you. We basically never borrow money. I never borrowed money even when I had $10,000 basically, what difference did it make. I was having fun as I went along it didn’t matter whether I had $10,000 or $100,000 or $1,000,000 except that I had a medical emergency come along.

事实上,我根本不想用他们来作例子,因为他们的经历换一种形式,很可能发生在我们中的每个人身上。我们在某些关键之处存在着盲点,因为我们懂得太多的其他地方。正象Henry Gutman所说的,破产的多是两类人:一是一窍不通者;一是学富五车者。这其实是令人悲哀的。我们是从来不借钱的,即使有保险做担保。即使是在我只有1万块钱的时候,我也决不借钱。借钱能带来什么不同玛?我只凭我一己之力时我也乐趣无穷。一万,一百万,和一千万对我都没有什么不同。当然,当我遇到类似紧急医疗事件的情况下会有些例外。

I was going to do the same things when I had a little bit of money as when I had a lot of money.If you think of the difference between me and you in terms of how we live, we wear the same clothes basically (SunTrust gives me mine), we eat similar food—we all go toMcDonald’s or better yet,Dairy Queen, and we live in a house that is warm in winter and cool in summer. We watch theNebraska(football) game on big screen TV. You see it the same way I see it. We do everything the same—our lives are not that different. The only thing we do is we travel differently. I travel on my private plane and I love it. But it takes money. But if you leave the other side, if you leave this, our life is the same other than trouble. Think about it. Think that what can I do that you can’t do? I get to work in a job that I love, but I have always worked at a job that I loved. I loved it just as much when I thought it was a big deal to make $1,000. I urge you to work in jobs that you love. I think you are out of your mind if you keep taking jobs that you don’t like because you think it will look good on your resume.

基本上,在钱多钱少的情况下,我都会做同样的事情。如果你从生活方式的角度来想想你们

和我的不同,我们穿的是同样的衣服,当然我的是SunTrust给的;我们都有机会喝上帝之泉(说这话的时候,巴菲特开了一瓶可乐),我们都去麦当劳,好一点的,奶酪皇后(译者注:即DairyQueen,一家类似于麦当劳的快餐店),我们都住在冬暖夏凉的房子里,我们都在平面大电视上看Nebraska和Texas A& M(美国的两所大学)的橄榄球比赛,我们的生活没什么不同,你能得到不错的医疗,我也一样,唯一的不同可能是我们旅行的方式不同,我有我的私人飞机来周游世界,我很幸运。但是除了这个之外,你们再想想,我能做的你们有什么不能做呢?我热爱我的工作,但是我从来如此,无论我在谈大合同,还是只赚一千块钱的时候。我希望你们也热爱自己的工作。如果你总是为了简历上好看些就不断跳槽,做你不喜欢的工作,我认为你的脑子一定是进了水。

I was with a fellow at Harvard the other day who was taking me over to talk. He was 28 and he was telling me all that he had done in life, which was terrific. And then I said, “What will you do next?” “Well,”he said, “Maybe after I get my MBA I will go to work for a consulting firm because it will look good on my resume.” I said, “Look, you are 28 and you have been doing all these things, you have a resume 10 times than anybody I have ever seen. Isn’t that a little like saving up sex for your old age? There comes a time when you ought to start doing what you want. Take a job that you love. You may change on it, just like you will jump out of bed in the morning. When I first got out of Columbia Business School, I wanted to go to work for Graham immediately for nothing. He thought I was over-priced. But I kept pestering him. I sold securities for three years and I kept writing him and finally I went to work for him for a couple of years. It was a great experience. But I always worked in a job that I loved doing. You really should take a job that if you were independently wealthy that would be the job you would take. You will learn something, you will be excited about, and you will jump out of bed. You can’t miss. You may try something else later on, but you will get way more out of it and I don’t care what the starting salary is. When you get out of here take a job you love, not a job you think will look good on your resume. You ought to find something you like. If you think you will be happier getting 2x instead of 1x, you are probably making a mistake.You ought to find sth that you like and it works. You will get in trouble if you think making 10x or 20x will make you happier because then you will borrow money when you shouldn’t or cut corners on things. It just doesn’t make sense and you won’t like it when you look back.

我碰到过一个28岁的哈佛毕业生,他一直以来都做得不错。我问他,下一步你打算做些什么?他说,可能读个MBA吧,然后去个管理资询的大公司,简历上看着漂亮点。我说,等一下,你才28岁,你做了这么多事情,你的简历比我看到过的最好的还要强十倍,现在你要再找一个你不喜欢的工作,你不觉得这就好像把你的性生活省下来到晚年的时候再用吗?是时候了,你就要去做的(不能老等着)。(这是一个比喻)但是我想我把我的立场告诉了他。你们走出去,都应该选择那些你热爱的工作,而不是让你的简历看上去风光。当然,你的爱好可能会有变化。(对那些你热爱的工作,)每天早上你是蹦着起床的。当我走出校园的时候,我恨不得马上就给格拉姆干。但是我不可能为他白干,于是他说我要的工资太高了(所以他没有要我)。但我总是不停地bug他,同时我自己也卖了3年的证券,期间从不间断地给他写信,聊我的想法,最终他要了我,我在他那儿工作了几年。那几年是非常有益的经验。我总是做我热爱的工作。抛开其他因素,如果你单纯的高兴做一项工作,那么那就是你应该做的工作。你会学到很多东西,工作起来也会觉得有无穷的乐趣。可能你将来会变。但是(做你热爱的工作),你会从工作中得到很多很多。起薪的多寡无足轻重。不知怎么,扯得远了些。总之,如果你认为得到两个X比得到一个让你更开心,你可能就要犯错了。重要的是

发现生活的真谛,做你喜欢做的。如果你认为得到10个或20个X是你一切生活的答案,那么你就会去借钱,做些短视,以及不可理喻的事情。多年以后,不可避免地,你会为你的所作所为而后悔。

Question: What makes a company something that you like?

问题:讲讲你喜欢的企业吧, 不是企业具体的名字,而是什么素质的企业你喜欢?

Buffett: I like businesses that I can understand. Let’s start with that. That narrows it down by 90%. There are all types of things I don’t understand, but fortunately, there is enough I do understand. You have this big wide world out there and almost every company is publicly owned. So you have all American business practically available to you. So it makes sense to go with things you can understand. I can understand this, anyone can understand this (Buffett holds up a bottle of CocaCola). Since 1886, it is a simple business, but it is not an easy business.

巴菲特:我只喜欢我看得懂的生意,这个标准排除了90%的企业。你看,我有太多的东西搞不懂。幸运的是,还是有那么一些东西我还看得懂。设想一个诺大的世界里,大多数公司都是上市的,所以基本上许多美国公司都是可以买到的。让我们从大家都懂的事情上开始讲吧(巴菲特举起他的可乐瓶)。我懂得这个,你懂得这个,每个人都懂这个。这是一瓶樱桃可乐,从1886年起就没什么变化了。很简单,但绝不容易的生意。

I don’t want an easy business for competitors. I want a busine ss with a moat around it. I want a very valuable castle in the middle and then I want the Duke who is in charge of that castle to be very honest and hard working and able. Then I want a moat around that castle. The moat can be various things: The moat around our auto insurance business, Geico, is low cost.

我可不想要对竞争者来说很容易的生意,我想要的生意外面得有个城墙,居中是价值不菲的城堡,我要负责的、能干的人才来管理这个城堡。我要的城墙可以是多样的,举例来说,在汽车保险领域的GEICO(译者注:美国一家保险公司),它的城墙就是低成本。

People have to buy auto insurance so everyone is going to have one auto insurance policy per car basically. I can’t sell them 20, but the y have to buy one. I can sell them 1. What are they going to buy it on? (based on what criteria?) They (customers) will buy based on service and cost. Most people will assume the service is identical among companies or close enough. So they will do it on cost. So I have to be a low cost producer--that is my moat. To the extent that my costs are further below the other guy, I have thrown a couple of sharks into the moat. All the time you have this wonderful castle, there are people out there who are going to attack it and try to take it away from you. I want a castle I can understand, but I want a castle with a moat around it.

人们是必须买汽车保险的,每人每车都会有,我不能卖20份给一个人,但是至少会有一份。消费者从哪里购买呢?这将基于保险公司的服务和成本。多数人都认为(各家公司的)服务基本上是相同的或接近的,所以成本是他们的决定因素。所以,我就要找低成本的公司,这就是我的城墙。当我的成本越比竞争对手的低,我会越加注意加固和保护我的城墙。当你有一个漂亮的城堡,肯定会有人对它发起攻击,妄图从你的手中把它抢走,所以我要在城堡周围建起城墙来。

Kodak柯达

30 years ago, Eastman Kodak’s moat was just as wide as Coca-Cola’s moat. I mean if you were going to take a picture of your six-month old baby and you want to look at that picture 20 years from now or 50 years from now. And you are never going to get a chance—you are not a professional photographer—so you can evaluate what is going to look good 20 or 50 years ago. What is in your mind about that photography company (Share of Mind) is what counts. Because they are promising you that the picture you take today is going to be terrific 20 to 50 years from now about something that is very important to you. Well, Kodak had that in spades 30 years ago, they owned that. They had what I call share of mind. Forget about share of market, share of mind. They had something—that little yellow box—that said Kodak is the best. That is priceless. They have lost some of that. They haven’t lost it all.

三十年前,柯达公司的城墙和可口可乐的城墙是一样难以逾越的。如果你想给你6个月的小孩子照张像,20年或50年后你再来看那照片,你不会象专业摄影师那样来衡量照片质量随着时间的改变,真正决定购买行为的是胶卷公司在你的心目中的地位。柯达向你保证你今天的照片,20年,50年后看起来仍是栩栩如生,这一点对你而言可能恰恰是最重要的。30年前的柯达就有那样的魅力,它占据了每个人的心。在地球上每个人的心里,它的那个小黄盒子都在说,柯达是最好的。那真是无价的。现在的柯达已经不再独占人们的心。

It is not due to George Fisher. George is doing a great job, but they let that moat narrow. They let Fuji come and start narrowing the moat in various ways. They let them get into the Olympics and take away that special aspect that only Kodak was fit to photograph the Olympics. So Fuji gets there and immediatel y in people’s minds, Fuji becomes more into parity with Kodak.

这不怪George Fisher,George Fisher干得很淡,但它的城墙变薄了,富士用各种手段缩小了差距。柯达让富士成为奥林匹克运动会的赞助商,一个一直以来由柯达独占的位置。于是在人们的印象里,富士变得和柯达平起平坐起来。

You haven’t seen that with Coke; Coke’s moat is wider now than it was 30 years ago. You can’t see the moat day by day but every time the i nfrastructure that gets built in some country that isn’t yet profitable for Coke that will be 20 years from now. The moat is widening a little bit. Things are, all the time, changing a little in one direction or the other. Ten years from now, you will see the difference. Our managers of the businesses we run, I have one message to them, and we want to widen the moat. We want to throw crocs, sharks and gators—I guess—into the moat to keep away competitors. That comes about through service, through quality of product, it comes about through cost, some times through patents, and/or real estate location. So that is the business I am looking for.

与之相反的是,可口可乐的城墙与30年前比,变得更宽了。你可能看不到城墙一天天的变化。但是,每次你看到可口可乐的工厂扩张到一个目前并不盈利,但20年后一定会的国家,它的城墙就加宽些。企业的城墙每天每年都在变,或厚或窄。10年后,你就会看到不同。我给那些公司经理人的要求就是,让城墙更厚些,保护好它,拒竞争者于墙外。你可以通过服务,产品质量,价钱,成本,专利,地理位置来达到目的。我寻找的就是这样的企业。

Now what kind of businesses am I going to find like that? Well, I am going to find them in simple products because I am not going to be able to figure what the moat is going to look like for Oracle, Lotus or Microsoft, ten years from now. Gates is the best businessman I have ever run into and they have a hell of a position, but I really don’t know what that business is going to look like ten

years from now. I certainly don’t know what his competitors will look like ten years from now. I know what the chewing business will look like ten years from now. The Internet is not going to change how we chew gum and nothing much else is going to change how we chew gum. There will lots of new products. Is Spearmint or Juicy Fruit going to evaporate? It isn’t going to happen. You give me a billion dollars and tell me to go into the chewing gum business and try to make a real dent in Wrigley’s. I can’t do it. That is how I think about busi nesses. I say to myself, give me a billion dollars and how much can I hurt the guy? Give me $10 billion dollars and how much can I hurt Coca-Cola around the world? I can’t do it. Those are good businesses. Now give me some money and tell me to hurt somebody in some other fields, and I can figure out how to do it.

那么这样的企业都在做什么生意呢?我要找到他们,就要从最简单的产品里找到那些(杰出的企业)。因为我没法预料到10年以后,甲骨文,莲花,或微软会发展成什么样。比尔.盖茨是我碰到过的最好的生意人。微软现在所处的位置也很好。但是我还是对他们10年后的状况无从知晓。同样我对他们的竞争对手10年后的情形也一无所知。虽然我不拥有口香糖的公司,但是我知道10年后他们的发展会怎样。互联网是不会改变我们嚼口香糖的方式的,事实上,没什么能改变我们嚼口香糖的方式。会有很多的(口香糖)新产品不断进入试验期,一些以失败告终。这是事物发展的规律。如果你给我10个亿,让我进入口香糖的生意,打开一个缺口,我无法做到。这就是我考量一个生意的基本原则。给我10个亿,我能对竞争对手有多少打击?给我100个亿,我对全世界的可口可乐的损失会有多大?我做不到,因为,他们的生意稳如磐石。给我些钱,让我去占领其他领域,我却总能找出办法把事情做到。

So I want a simple business, easy to understand, great economics now, honest and able management, and then I can see about in a general way where they will be ten (10) years from now. If I can’t see where they will be ten years from now, I don’t want to buy it. Basically, I don’t want to buy any stoc k where if they close the NYSE tomorrow for five years, I won’t be happy owning it. I buy a farm and I don’t get a quote on it for five years and I am happy if the farm does OK. I buy an apartment house and don’t get a quote on it for five years, I am happ y if the apartment house produces the returns that I expect. People buy a stock and they look at the price next morning and they decide to see if they are doing well or not doing well. It is crazy. They are buying a piece of the business. That is what Graham—the most fundamental part of what he taught me. You are not buying a stock, you are buying part ownership in a business. You will do well if the business does well, if you didn’t pay a totally silly price.

所以,我要找的生意就是简单,容易理解,经济上行得通,诚实,能干的管理层。这样,我就能看清这个企业10年的大方向。如果我做不到这一点,我是不会买的。基本上来讲,我只会买那些,即使纽约证交所从明天起关门五年,我也很乐于拥有的股票。如果我买个农场,即使五年内我不知道它的价格,但只要农场运转正常,我就高兴。如果我买个公寓群,只要它们能租出去,带来预计的回报,我也一样高兴。人们买股票,根据第二天早上股票价格的涨跌,决定他们的投资是否正确,这简直是扯淡。正如格拉姆所说的,你要买的是企业的一部分生意。这是格拉姆教给我的最基本最核心的策略。你买的不是股票,你买的是一部分企业生意。企业好,你的投资就好,只要你的买入价格不是太离谱。

That is what it is all about. You ought to buy businesses you understand. Just like if you buy farms, you ought to buy farms you understand. It is not complicated.

这就是投资的精髓所在。你要买你看得懂的生意,你买了农场,是因为你懂农场的经营。就

是这么简单。

Incidentally, by the way, in calling this Graham-Buffett, this is pure Graham. I was very fortunate.

I picked up his book (The Intelligent Investor) when I was nineteen; I got interested in stocks when I was 6 or 7. I bought my first stock when I was eleven. But I was playing around with all this stuff—I had charts and volume and I was making all types of technical calculations and everything. Then I picked up a little book that said you are not just buying some little ticker symbol, that bounces around every day, you are buying part of a business. Soon as I started thinking about it that way, everything else followed. It is very simple.

这都是格拉姆的理念。我6、7岁就开始对股票感兴趣,在11岁的时买了第一只股票。我沉迷于对图线,成交量等各种技术指标的研究。然后在我还是19岁的时候,幸运地拿起了格拉姆的书。书里说,你买的不是那整日里上下起伏的股票标记,你买的是公司的一部分生意。自从我开始这么来考虑问题后,所以一切都豁然开朗。就这么简单。

So we buy businesses we think we can understand. There is no one here who can’t understand Coke………….. (end of first side.) If I was teaching a class at business school, on the final exam I would pass out the information on an Internet company and ask each student to value it. Anybody that gave me an answer, I’d flunk (Laughter). I don’t know how to do it. But people do it all the time; it is more exciting.

我们只买自己谙熟的生意。在坐的每一个人都懂可口可乐的生意。我却敢说,没人能看懂新兴的一些互联网公司。我在今年的Berkshire Hathaway的股东大会上讲过,如果我在商学院任教,期末考试的题目就是评估互联网公司的价值,如果有人给我一个具体的估价,我会当场晕倒的(笑)。我自己是不知道如何估值的,但是人们每天都在做!

If you look at it like you are going to the races--that is a different thing--but if you are i nvesting…. Investing is putting out money to be sure of getting more back later at an appropriate rate. And to do that you have to understand what you are doing at any time. You have to understand the business. You can understand some businesses but not all businesses.

如果你这么做是为了去竞技比赛,还可以理解。但是你是在投资。投资是投入一定的钱,确保将来能恰当幅度地赚进更多的钱。所以你务必要晓得自己在做什么,务必要深入懂得(你投资的)生意。你会懂一些生意模式,但绝不是全部。

Question: You covered half of it which is trying to understand a business and buying a business. You also alluded to getting a return on the amount of capital invested in the business. How do you determine what is the proper price to pay for the business?

问题:就如你刚才所说,你已经讲了事情的一半,那就是去寻找企业,试着去理解商业模式,作为一个拥有如此大量资金的投资者,你的积累足以让你过功成身退。回到购买企业的成本,你如何决定一个合适的价格来购买企业?

Buffett: It is a tough thing to decide but I do n’t want to buy into any business I am not terribly sure of. So if I am terribly sure of it, it probably won’t offer incredible returns. Why should something that is essentially a cinch to do well, offer you 40% a year? We don’t have huge returns in mind, but we do have in mind not losing anything.

巴菲特:那是一个很难作出的决定。对一个我不确信(理解)的东西,我是不会买的。如果

我对一个东西非常确信,通常它带给我的回报不会是很可观的。为什么对那些你只有一丝感觉会有40%回报的企业来试手气呢?我们的回报不是惊人的高,但是一般来讲,我们也不会有损失。

We bought See’s Candy in 1972, See’s Candy was then selling 16 m. pounds of candy at a $1.95 a pound and it was making 2 bits a pound or $4 million pre-tax. We paid $25 million for it—6.25 x pretax or about 10x after tax. It took no capital to speak of. When we looked at that business—basically, my partner, Charlie, and I—we needed to decide if there was some untapped pricing power there. Where that $1.95 box of candy could sell for $2 to $2.25. If it could sell for $2.25 or another $0.30 per pound that was $4.8 on 16 million pounds. Which on a $25 million purchase price was fine.

1972年,我们买了See’s Candy(一家糖果公司)。See’s Candy每年以每磅1.95美元的价格,卖出1千6百万磅的糖果,产生4百万的税前利润。我们买它花了2千5百万。我和我的合伙人觉得See’s Candy有一种尚未开发出来的定价魔力,每磅1.95美元的糖果可以很容易地以2.25的价钱卖出去。每磅30分的涨价,1千6百万磅就是额外的4百80万呀,所以2千5百万的购买价还是划算的。

We never hired a consultant in our lives; our idea of consulting was to go out and buy a box of candy and eat it. What we did know was that they had share of mind in California. There was something special. Every person in Ca. has something in mind about See’s Candy and overwhelmingly it was favorable. They had ta ken a box on Valentine’s Day to some girl and she had kissed him. If she slapped him, we would have no business. As long as she kisses him, that is what we want in their minds. See’s Candy means getting kissed. If we can get that in the minds of people, we can raise prices.

我们从未雇过咨询师。我们知道在加州每个人都有一个想法。每个加州人心中对See’s Candy 都有一些特殊的印象,他们绝对认这个牌子的糖。在情人节,给女孩子送See’s Candy的糖,她们会高兴地亲它。如果她们把糖扔在一边,爱理不理,那我们的生意就糟糕了。只要女孩子亲吻我们的糖,那就是我们要灌输给加州人脑子里的,女孩子爱亲See’s Candy的糖。如果我们能达到这个目标,我们就可以涨价了。

I bought it in 1972, and every year I have raised prices on Dec. 26th, the day after Christmas, because we sell a lot on Christmas. In fact, we will make $60 million this year. We will make $2 per pound on 30 million pounds. Same business, same formulas, same everything--$60 million bu cks and it still doesn’t take any capital. And we make more money 10 years from now. But of that $60 million, we make $55 million in the three weeks before Christmas. And our company song is: “What a friend we have in Jesus.” (Laughter). It is a good busin ess.

我们在1972年买的See’s Candy,那之后,我们每年都在12月26日,圣诞节后的第一天,涨价。圣诞节期间我们卖了很多糖。今年,我们卖了3千万磅糖,一磅赚2个美元,总共赚了6千万。十年后,我们会赚得更多。在那6千万里,5千5百万是在圣诞节前3周赚的。耶稣的确是我们的好朋友(笑)。这确实是一桩好生意。

Think about it a little. Most people do not buy boxed chocolate to consume themselves, they buy them as gifts—somebody’s birthday or more likely it is a holiday. Valentine’s Day is the single biggest day of the year. Christmas is the biggest season by far. Women buy for Christmas and they

plan ahead and buy over a two or three week period. Men buy on Valentine’s Day. They are driving home; we run ads on the Radio. Guilt, guilt, guilt—guys are veering off the highway right and left. They won’t dare go home without a box of Chocolates by the time we get through with them on our radio ads. So that Valentine’s Day is the biggest day. Can you imagine going home on Valentine’s Day—our See’s Candy is now $11 a pound thanks to my brilliance. And let’s say there is candy available at $6 a pound. Do you really want to walk in on Valentine’s Day and hand—she has all these positive images of See’s Candy over the years—and say, “Honey, this year I took the low bid.” And hand her a box of candy. It just isn’t going to work.

如果你再想想,关于这生意的重要一点是,多数人都不买盒装巧克力来自己消费,他们只是用它来做为生日或节日的馈赠礼品。情人节是每年中最重要的一天。圣诞节是迄今为止最最重要的销售季节。女人买糖是为了圣诞节,她们通常在那前后2-3周来买。男人买糖是为了情人节。他们在回家的路上开着车,我们在收音机节目里放广告,“内疚,内疚”,男人们纷纷从高速路上出去,没有一盒巧克力在手,他们是不敢回家的。情人节是销售最火的一天。你能想像,在情人节那天,See’s Candy的价钱已经是11美元一磅了(译者注:又涨价了)。当然还有别的牌子的糖果是6美元一磅。当你在情人节的时候回家(这些都是关于See’s Candy深入人心的一幕幕场景,你的那位接受你的礼品,由衷地感谢你,祝福剩下的一年),递给你的那位(6块钱的糖),说,“亲爱的,今年我买的是廉价货”?这绝不可能行得通!

So in a sense, there is untapped pricing power—it is not price dependent.

在某种程度上,有些东西和价格是没关系的,或者说,不是以价格为导向的。

Think of Disney. Disney is selling Home Videos for $16.95 or $18.95 or whatever. All over the world—people, and we will speak particularly about Mothers in this case, have something in their mind about Disney. Everyone in this room, when you say Disney, has something in their mind about Disney. When I say Universal Pictures, if I say 20th Century Fox, you don’t have anything special in your mind. Now if I say Disney, you have something special in your mind. That is true around the world.

这就像迪斯尼。迪斯尼在全世界卖的是16.95或19.95美元的家庭影像制品。人们,更具体的说,那些当妈妈的对迪斯尼有着特殊的感情。在座的每个人在心中对迪斯尼都有着一些情愫。如果我说环球影视,它不会唤起你心中的那种特殊情愫;我说20世纪福克斯公司,你也不会有什么反应。但是迪斯尼就不同。这一点在全世界都如此。

Now picture yourself with a couple of young kids, whom you want to put away for a couple of hours every day and get some peace of mind. You know if you get one video, they will watch it twenty times. So you go to the video store or wherever to buy the video. Are you going to sit there and premier 10 different videos and watch them each for an hour and a half to decide which one your kid should watch? No. Let’s say there is one there for $16.95 and the Disney one for $17.95—you know if you take the Disney video that you are going to be OK. So you buy it. You don’t have to make a quality decision on something you don’t want to spend the time to do. So you can get a little bit more money if you are Disney and you will sell a lot more videos. It makes it a wonderful business. It makes it very tough for the other guy.

当你的年纪变老的时候,那些(迪斯尼的)影像制品,你可以放心让小孩子每天在一边看几个小时。你知道,一个这样的影片,小孩子会看上20遍。当你去音像店时,你会坐在那儿,把十几种片子都看上一遍,然后决定你的孩子会喜欢哪一部?这种可能性很小。别的牌子卖

16.95,而迪斯尼的卖17.95,你知道买迪斯尼的不会错,所以你就买了。在某些你没有时间的事情上,你不一定非要做高质量的决定。而作为迪斯尼而言,就可以因此以更高的价格,卖出多得多的影片。多好的生意!而对其他牌子来讲,日子就不那么好过了。

How would you try to create a brand—Dreamworks is trying—that competes with Disney around the world and replaces the concept that people have in their minds about Disney with something that says, Universal Pictures? So a mother is going to walk in and pick out a Universal Pictures video in preference to a Disney. It is not going to happen. Coca-Cola is associated with people being happy around the world. Everyplace – Disneyland, the World Cup, the Olympics—where people are happy. Happiness and Coke go together. Now you give me—I don’t care how much money—and tell me that I am going to do that with RC Cola around the world and have five billion people have a favorable image in their mind about RC Cola. You can’t get it done. You can fool around, you can do what you want to do. You can have price discounts on weekends. But you are not going to touch it. That is what you want to have in a business. That is the moat. You want that moat to widen.

梦想家们一直努力打造出类似于迪斯尼概念的品牌,来同它在世界范围内竞争,取代人们心中对迪斯尼的那份特殊情愫。比如,环球影视吧,妈妈们不会在音像店里买他们的片子,而放弃迪斯尼的。那是不可能发生的。可口可乐是在全球范围内和喜悦的情绪关联在一起的。不管你花多少钱,你想让全世界的50亿人更喜欢RC可乐(译者注:巴菲特杜撰出来的饮料牌子),那是做不到的。你可以搞些诡计,做折扣促销,等等,但都是无法得逞的。这就是你要的生意,你要的城墙。

Question: If I have every bought a company where the numbers told me not to. How much is quantitative and how much is qualitative?

问题:在你购买公司的分析过程里,是否有些数字会告诉你不要买?哪些东西是质化的,哪些东西是量化的?

Buffett: The best buys have been when the numbers almost tell you not to. Because then you feel so strongly about the product. And not just the fact you are getting a used cigar butt cheap. Then it is compelling. I owned a windmill company at one time. Windmills are cigar butts, believe me. I bought it very cheap, I bought it at a third of working capital. And we made money out of it, but there is no repetitive money to be made on it. There is a one-time profit in something like that. And it is just not the thing to be doing. I went through that phase. I bought streetcar companies and all kinds of things. In terms of the qualitative, I probably understand the qualitative the moment I get the phone call. Almost every business we have bought has taken five or ten minutes in terms of analysis. We bought two businesses this year.

巴菲特:最好的买卖里,从数字的角度来讲,几乎都要告诉你不要买。你可能对(被购买公司的)产品的印象是非常之深,但是你对那套雪茄烟蒂式的廉价思维已经根深蒂固。我曾经拥有一个风力发电公司。相信我,风力发电公司如同雪茄烟蒂一般廉价。我们买的也很便宜,只相当于公司流动资金的三分之一的价钱。我们却实赚了钱,但是这种收益是不可复制的,更象是一次性的买卖。你可不想做那样的事情,但我经历了那样一个阶段,在那个阶段里,我还买过租车公司等等一些生意。谈到质化的东西,我可能在接到电话的那一刻就能感受到了。几乎我们买的所有企业,只需要10分钟,15分钟的分析。我今年买了两个企业。)我拿到了它们的经营数据。

General Re is a $18 billion deal. I have never been to their home office. I hope it is there. (Laughter) “There could be a few guys there saying what numbers should we send Buffett this month?” I could see them going once a month and saying we have $20 billion in the bank instead of $18 billion. I have never been there.

General Re(译者注:全球最大的再保险公司之一)是一个180亿的交易。我连它们的总部都没去过。我希望它们的的确确有个总部(译者注:巴菲特在开玩笑)。“总有那么几个人会问,我们这个月要发哪些数据给巴菲特?”我每个月会受到一份数据报表,报表上显示,我们银行的存款从180增长到200亿了。我真的从没去过他们总部。

Before I bought Executive Jet, which is fractional ownership of jets, before I bought it, I had never been there. I bought my family a quarter interest in the program three years earlier. And I have seen the service and it seems to develop well. And I got the numbers.

在那之前,我买了Executive Jet,主要做部分拥有小型飞机的生意(译者注:美国近年来,很流行私人拥有飞机。但毕竟花销很大,不是一般人能承受得起。所以,买一部分飞机的拥有权,这样你可以有一段你自己的飞行计划和路线,变得很实际)。在我们买之前,我也没去过它的公司总部。四年前,我给我的家庭买了一个飞机计划的四分之一拥有权。我亲身体会了他们的服务,我也看到了这些年它们的迅速发展。(在购买交易发生之前,)我拿到了它们的经营数据。

But if you don’t know enough to know about the business instantly, you won’t know enough in a month or in two months. You have to have sort of the background of understanding and knowing what you do or don’t understand. That is the key. It is defining your circle of competence.

如果你不能马上足够了解所作的生意,即使你花上一二个月,情况也未见得会有多少改观。你必须对你可能了解的和不能了解的有个切身体会,你必须对你的能力范围有个准确的认知。范围的大小无关大局,重要的是那个范围里的东西。

Everybody has got a different circle of competence. The important thing is not how big the circle is, the important thing is the size of the circle; the important thing is staying inside the circle. And if that circle only has 30 companies in it out of 1000s on the big board, as long as you know which 30 they are, you will be OK. And you should know those businesses well enough so you don’t need to read lots of work. Now I did a lot of work in the earlier years just getting familiar with businesses and the w ay I would do that is use what Phil Fisher would call, the “Scuttlebutt Approach.” I would go out and talk to customers, suppliers, and maybe ex-employees in some cases. Everybody. Everytime I was interested in an industry, say it was coal, I would go around and see every coal company. I would ask every CEO, “If you could only buy stock in one coal company that was not your own, which one would it be and why? You piece those things together, you learn about the business after awhile.

哪怕在那个范围里只有成千上万家上市公司里的30个公司,只要有那30家,你就没问题。你所做的就应当是深入了解这30家公司的业务,你根本不需要去了解和学习其他的东西。在我早年的时候,我做了大量功课来熟悉生意上的事情。我们走出去,采取所谓‘抹黄油’的方式,去与企业的用户谈,与企业以前的雇员谈,与企业的供应商谈,我们能找到的每一个人。每次我看到业界的专业人员,举例来说,我对采煤业有兴趣,我会遍访每一家采煤公司,问每一位CEO,“如果要在业界买一家公司,你认为我该买哪一家?为什么?”如果你

把这些片段的信息串起来,你会学到很多业界的信息。

Funny, you get very similar answers as long as you ask about competitors. If you had a silver bullet and you could put it through the head of one competitor, which competitor and why? You will find who the best guy is in the industry. So there are a lot of things you can learn about a business. I have done that in the past on the business I felt I could understand so I don’t have to do that anymore. The nice thing about investing is that you don’t have to learn anything new. You can do it if yo u want to, but if you learn Wrigley’s chewing gum forty years ago, you still understand Wrigley’s chewing gum. There are not a lot of great insights to get of the sort as you go along. So you do get a database in your head.

当你问到竞争对手的时候,你会得到非常相似的答案。比如说,如果你有一个解决一切问题的良方,那么你首先要解决的竞争对手是谁?为什么?通过这种手段,你很快会发现谁是业界最好的企业。做投资的好处是你不用学习日新月异的知识和技能。当然你愿意那么去做,就另当别论了。四十年前你了解的口香糖的生意,现如今依旧适用,没有什么变化。

I had a guy, Frank Rooney, who ran Melville for many years; his father-in-law died and had owned H.H. Brown, a shoe company. And he put it up with Goldman Sachs. But he was playing golf with a friend of mine here in Florida and he mentioned it to this friend, so my friend said “Why don’t you call Warren?” He called me after the match and in fiv e minutes I basically had a deal.

我认识一个人,他的岳父去世了,丢下一间他创建的制鞋公司。这个人托Goldman Sachs来卖掉这家公司。他和我的一个朋友在佛罗里达打高尔夫,提到了这件事。我朋友让他给我打电话。他打了,结果我们用五分钟谈成了这桩生意。

But I knew Frank, and I knew the business. I sort of knew the basic economics of the shoe business, so I could buy it. Quantitatively, I have to decide what the price is. But, you know, that is either yes or no. I don’t fool a lot around with negotiations. If they name a price that makes sense to me, I buy it. If they don’t, I was happy the day before, so I will be happy the day after without owning it.

我认识这个人,我基本了解制鞋生意,所以我就买了。质化的方面定了后,就是价格了。我的答案只有是或者不是,很简单,谈判的时候没什么圈子可兜。只要价格合适,我就会买。不然的话,谈判之前我很快乐,谈判不成我也一样。

Question: The Asian Crisis and how it affects a company like Coke that recently announced their earnings would be lower in the fourth quarter.

问题:可口可乐最近发布了对未来季度调低盈利预期的消息。你对可口可乐并没有因为在美国之外的许多问题,包括亚洲危机,造成的负面影响而撒谎怎么看?

Buffett: Well, basically I love it, but because the market for Coca-Cola products will grow far faster over the next twenty years internationally than it will in the United States. It will grow in the U.S. on a per capita basis. The fact that it will be a tough period for who knows—three months or three years—but it won’t be tough for twenty years. People will still be going to be working productively around the world and they are going to find this is a bargain product in terms of a portion of their working day that they have to give up in order to have one of these, better yet, five

of them a day like I do. This is a product that in 1936 when I first bought 6 of those for a quarter and sold them for a nickel each. It was in a 6.5 oz bottle and you paid a two cents deposit on the bottle. That was a 6.5 oz. bottle for a nickel at that time; it is now a 12 oz. can which if you buy it on Weekends or if you buy it in bigger quantities, so much mone y doesn’t go to packaging—you essentially can buy the 12 ozs. for not much more than 20 cents. So you are paying not much more than twice the per oz. price of 1936. This is a product that has gotten cheaper and cheaper relative to people’s earning power ov er the years.

巴菲特:我很喜欢他们(的诚实)。事实上,在未来20年,可口可乐在国际上的市场增长要比在美国国内好得多。在美国国内的人均消费量会增长,但在别的国家的增长会快得多。可口可乐可能会有一段3个月,也可能是3年的艰难时期,但不会是未来的20年。人们在全世界的范围内高效地工作,他们会发现换取一瓶可乐(巴菲特举起手中的可乐瓶),就占他们每天所获得的劳动报酬的比例而言,实在是一笔很好的买卖。实际上,我是一天五瓶(笑)。在1936年的时候,我第一次用25美分买了6瓶可乐(单卖是5美分一瓶)。那是6.5盎司的瓶子,2美分的瓶子押金,实际上是6.5盎司的可乐只要5美分。现在是12盎司的罐子,如果你在周末去买大瓶装的,减少一些在包装上的费用,你基本上可以花20美分多一点买12盎司。你现在在每盎司上花的钱只是1936年的两倍多一点点。相对于人们不断增长的购买力而言,可乐实际上在年复一年地变得越来越便宜。

And which people love. And in 200 countries, you have the per capita consumption use going up every year for a product that is over 100 years old that dominates the market. That is unbelievable. 在全世界的两百多个国家里,这个有着一百多年历史的产品的人均消费量每年都在增长。它霸占着饮料市场,真的是难以置信。

One thing that people don’t understand is one thing that makes this product worth 10s and 10s of billions of dollars is one simple fact about really all colas, but we will call it Coca-Cola for the moment. It happens to be a name that I like. Cola has no taste memory. You can drink one of these at 9 O’clock, 10 O’clock, 1 O’clock and 5 O’clock. The one at 5 o’clock will taste as good to you as the one you drank early in the morning, you can’t do that with Cream Soda, Root Beer, Orange, Grape. All of those things accumulate on you. Most foods and beverages accumulate; you get sick of them after a while. And if you eat See’s Candy—we get these people who go to work for us at See’s Candy and the first day they go crazy, but after a week they are eating the same amount as if they were buying it, because chocolate accumulates on you.

有一件人们可能不懂,但却使这个产品有着数以百亿元的价值的简单事实就是可乐没有味觉记忆。你可以在9点,11点,下午3点,5点喝上一罐,5点时你喝的味道和你一早上9点喝的味道一样好。其他的饮料如甜苏打水,橙汁,根啤都做不到这一点,它们对味道有着累积作用(译者注:累积使味觉麻木),重复的饮用会使你厌烦。我们在See’s Candy的雇员可以免费享用公司生产糖果。在他们第一天工作的时候,他们渴着劲儿吃。但在那之后,他们再吃起来就跟要花钱买似的。为什么?巧克力一样有着味觉累积。

There is no taste memory to Cola and that means you get people around the world who will be heavy users—who will drink five a day, or for Diet Coke, 7 or even 8 a day. They will never do that with other products. So you get this incredible per capita consumption. The average person in this part of the world or maybe a little north of here drinks 64 ozs. of liquid a day. You can have 64 ozs. of that be Coke and you will not get fed up with Coke if you like it to start with in the least.

But if you do that with anything else; if you eat just one product all day, you will get a little sick of it after a while.It is a huge factor. So today over 1 billion of Coca-Cola product servings will be sold in the world and that will grow year by year. It will grow in every country virtually, and it will grow on a per capita basis. And twenty years from now it will grow a lot faster internationally than in the U.S., so I really like that market better, because there is more growth there over time. But it will hurt them in the short term right now, but that doesn’t mean anything.

但是可乐就没有味觉累积。这意味着,全世界的人们可以每天都可以消费很多次可乐,而不是其他的饮料,所以你得到的就是可乐之难以企及的人均消费量。在今天,全世界范围内可乐的日销售量超过800亿盎司。这个数目还在年复一年地增长。增长还体现在无论是以国家计还是人均计的消费量上。可乐和其它食物不一样,其它食物让你天天吃,你会很快受不了的,可乐每天来一瓶也没什么,这是很重要的因素。20年后,在美国之外的增长讲远远超过美国国内。我分外看好国际市场的前景。(目前可乐的国际危机,)短期来讲对他们确实有消极的影响,但这不是一个大不了的问题。

Coca-Cola went public in 1919; the stock sold for $40 per share. The Chandler family bought the whole business for $2,000 back in the late 1880s. So now he goes public in 1919, $40 per share. One year later it is selling for $19 per share. It has gone down 50% in one year. You might think it is some kind of disaster and you might think sugar prices increased and the bottlers were rebellious. And a whole bunch of things. You can always find reasons that weren't the ideal moment to buy it. Years later you would have seen the Great Depression, WW II and sugar rationing and thermonuclear weapons and the whole thing—there is always a reason.

可口可乐公司于1919年上市,那时的价格是40美元左右。一年后,股价降了50%,只有19美元。看起来那是一场灾难。瓶装问题,糖料涨价,你总能发现这样那样的原因让你觉得那不是一个合适的买入时机。一些年之后,又发生了大萧条,第二次世界大战,核武器竞赛等。总是有原因(让你不买)。如果你在一开始40块钱买了一股,然后你把派发的红利进行再投资(买入可口可乐的股票),一直到现在,那股可乐股票的价值是5百万。这个事实压倒了一切。如果你看对了生意模式,你就会赚很多钱。

But in the end if you had bought one share at $40 per share and reinvested the dividends, it would be worth $5 million now ($40 compounding at 14.63% for 86 years!). That factor so overrides anything else. If you are right about the business you will make a lot of money. The timing part of it is very tricky thing so I don’t worry about any given event if I got a wonderful business what it does next year or something of the sort. Price controls have been in this country at various times and that has fouled up even the best of busines ses. I wouldn’t be able to raise prices Dec 31st on See’s Candy. But that doesn’t make it a lousy business if that happens to happen, because you are not going to have price controls forever. We had price controls in the early 70s.

切入点的时机是很难把握的。所以,如果我拥有的是一个绝佳的生意,我丝毫不会为某一个事件的发生,或者它对未来一年的影响等等而担忧。当然,在过去的某些个时间段,政府施加了价格管制政策。企业因而不能涨价,即使最好的企业有时也会受影响,我们的See’s Candy糖果不能在12月26日涨价。但是,管制该发生的时候就会发生,它绝不会把一个杰出的企业蜕变成一个平庸的企业。政府是不可能永远实施管制政策的。

The wonderful business—you can figure what will happen, you can’t figure out when it will happen. You don’t want to focus too much on when but you want to focus on what. If you are right

巴菲特和盖茨重返校园讲演

巴菲特和盖茨重返校园讲演(比尔盖茨与巴菲特重返校园演讲)——如何才能成功、谋取职位、实现成功的人生 两位世界顶级的亿万富翁——沃伦?巴菲特和比尔?盖茨,他们的 成功之路却截然不同。巴菲特是凭借传统的方法,即投资于实力雄厚的传统行业而赚取了460亿美元的资产,这些行业涵盖了保险、 软饮料、家居建材以及鞋类。而比尔?盖茨则是一位天才式的人物, 他通过创建世界上最庞大的软件公司-微软公司,赚得了500亿美元的资产,他的创新产品包括Window视窗系统、office办公软件和XBOX游戏机,虽然有着不同的经历,他们两位都是亲密好友,而且都愿意与美国最有前途的学生进行互动,今天巴菲特邀请比尔盖茨和他一起与内布拉斯加大学工商管理学院的学生们进行一场对话。 巴菲特于1950在此学校获得了学士学位。 “这儿曾有位姑娘让我非常动心,但她却喜欢同那些弹吉他的家伙在一起,于是我也买了琴,也学着弹了,她依然对我无动于衷。”(巴菲特,旁白) 他们两位都为能有机会与未来商家领袖进行深入讨论而兴致勃勃。 主持人:内布拉斯加大学林肯商业学院热烈欢迎沃伦巴菲特和 比尔盖茨。 下面是学生们与沃伦巴菲特和比尔盖茨的问答(根据视频录音整理,从他们与同学们的交流中,可以发现巴菲特的诙谐幽默的谈吐)

1、问:您好,我叫基姆?马丁(女),我的专业是金融。我的问题是:您是如何将道德领导贯穿于整个公司,您可以先说说您是如何知道仅次于您的管理层正在做的是与您相同的决策吗? 答:沃伦?巴菲特:我们有足够的资金。当然,我们想赚更多的钱,如果亏损了我们也能承担,但我们无法承担的是声誉受损,哪怕只有一丁点儿,因此,我要求经理们他们的一举一动不仅要根据法律尺度来判断,这是最起码的标准,而且要根据是否经得起报纸曝光的标准来衡量,如果他们知道自己的某个行为将在明天的报纸上登出来,而读者将会是他们的亲朋好友,左邻右舍,文章则是由一位精明,但不太友好的记者所写的,他们会有什么样的感受,如果能够泰然自若,那就没有问题。我还告诉他们:如果接近这条底线,那就别做。他们可以随时与我电话沟通,但如果他们真的给我打电话了,十有八九都是有问题了。 比尔?盖茨:在微软公司的高层管理团队中,大多数人都能站在正确的一边。不管程度如何,现在我们很多方面的业务都很简单,那就是编写出很棒的软件。每年我们都会坐下来讨论各种事情,都是必须小心应对的,我们的产品有很高的市场占有度,我们的业务遍及全球,于是就产生了一些特别的规定,比如,如何与供应商做事,因为他们可能送你些礼品,但看到我们的管理人员表现之后,我们对他们的行为有了很大的信心。 沃伦?巴菲特:我要提醒一下,我是台上惟一的大学毕业生。 比尔?盖茨:我马上就会脱下我哈佛大学的T恤,因为我没有完成

巴菲特在佛罗里达大学商学院的演讲

巴菲特在佛罗里达大学商学院的演讲(下) 问题:谈谈你投资上的失误吧。 巴菲特:你有多少时间?(译者注:巴菲特的幽默在这里表现得淋漓尽致) 关于失误的有趣的一点是,在投资上,至少对我和我的合伙人而言,最大的失误不是做了什么,而是没有做什么。对于我们所知甚多的生意,当机会来到时,我们却犹豫了,而不是去做些什么。我们错过了赚取数以十亿元计的大钱的好机会。不谈那些我们不懂的生意,只专注于那些我们懂的。我们确实错过了从微软身上赚大钱的机会,但那并没有什么特殊意义,因为我们从一开始就不懂微软的生意。 但是对于在医疗保健股票上理应赚得的几十亿,我们却错过了。当克林顿政府推出医疗保健计划时,医疗保健公司获益非浅。我们应当在那上面赚得盘满钵满的,因为我懂那里面的因果。80年代中期,我们应当在Fannie Mae(译者注:美国一家受政府支持,专做二级房贷的超大型公司)上获利颇丰,因为我们也算得清个中的究竟。这些都是数以十亿计的超级错误,却不会被GAAP会计法则抓个现形。 你们所看到的错误,比如我买下了几年前我买的US Air(译者注:巴菲特在这笔交易中几乎损失了全部的投资,个亿)。当我手里有很多现金的时候,我就很容易犯错误。查理(译者注:巴菲特的合伙人)让我去酒吧转转,不要总滞留在办公室里(笑)。但是我一有闲钱,又总在办公室里,我想我是够愚昧的,这种事时有发生。 总之,我买了US Air的股票,虽然没人逼着我买。现在我有一个800的电话号码,每次我打算买航空公司的股票后,我就打这个电话。我跟他们讲我很蠢,老犯错,他们总是劝我别买,不断地和我聊,让我别挂电话,不要仓促地做任何决定。最后,我就会放弃要购买的冲动。(译者注:真有这么回事吗?听起来像是巴菲特在开玩笑)

巴菲特演讲精华录

巴菲特演讲精华录 Ting Bao was revised on January 6, 20021

巴菲特语录 如果你不能马上足够了解所作的生意,即使你花上一二个月,情况也不见得会有多少改观。你必须对你可能了解的和不能了解的有个切身体会,你必须对你的能力范围有个准确的认知。范围的大小无关大局,重要的是那个范围里的东西。哪怕在那个范围里只有成千上万家上市公司里的30个公司,只要有那30家,你就没问题。你所做的就应当是深入了解这30家公司的业务,你根本不需要去了解和学习其他的东西。 ? 不要做低回报率的生意。时间是好生意的朋友,却是坏生意的敌人。如果你陷在糟糕的生意里太久的话,你的结果也一定会糟糕,即使你的买入价很便宜。如果你在一桩好生意里,即使你开始多付了一点额外的成本,如果你做的足够久的话,你的回报一定是可观的。我现在从日本没发现什么好生意。也可能日本的文化会作某些改变,比如他们的管理层可能会对公司股票的责任多一些,这样回报率会高些。但目前来看,我看到的都是一些低回报率的公司,即使是在日本经济高速发展的时候。说来也令人惊奇,因为日本这样一个完善巨大的市场却不能产生一些优秀的高回报的公司。日本的优秀只体现在经济总量上,而不是涌现一些优质的公司。 ?

我们在某些关键之处存在着盲点,因为我们懂得太多的其他地方。正象Henry Gutman所说的,破产的多是两类人:一是一窍不通者;一是学富五车者。这其实是令人悲哀的。 ? 我只喜欢我看得懂的生意,这个标准排除了90%的企业。你看,我有太多的东西搞不懂。幸运的是,还是有那么一些东西我还看得懂。 ? 所以,我要找的生意就是简单,容易理解,经济上行得通,诚实,能干的管理层。这样,我就能看清这个企业10年的大方向。如果我做不到这一点,我是不会买的。基本上来讲,我只会买那些,即使纽约证交所从明天起关门五年,我也很乐于拥有的股票。如果我买个农场,即使五年内我不知道它的价格,但只要农场运转正常,我就高兴。如果我买个公寓群,只要它们能租出去,带来预计的回报,我也一样高兴。 ? 人们买股票,根据第二天早上股票价格的涨跌,决定他们的投资是否正确,这简直是扯淡。正如格拉姆所说的,你要买的是企业的一部分生意。这是格拉姆教给我的最基本最核心的策略。你买的不是股票,你买

巴菲特的投资经历

巴菲特的投资经历 1944年,14岁,他将节约下来的1200美元投资买下40英亩农田。 1945年,15岁,他的第一份工作是在他父亲的股票经纪公司的黑板上抄写股价。后来,他投递华盛顿邮报,每月可获得175美元。 1947 年,17岁,在他的中学的高年级那里,巴菲特与他的一个朋友花25美元买下了一个旧的弹球游戏机,并将它放在一个理发店。在数月之内,他们就在不同的位置拥有了三个这样的游戏机。就在那一年底,他们以1200美元将这些业务卖给了一个战争老兵。此时,他送报已挣得了5000多美元。他的父亲建议他应该上大学, 1949年,19岁,他转学到内布拉斯加州大学。大学毕业后,J.C.佩恩先生提供给他一份工作,但被他拒绝了。他仅用三年的时间大学毕业。他的储蓄这时已达到9800美元。 1950年,20岁,他申请到哈佛商学院学习,但被拒绝。他最终在哥伦比亚大学注册,并从师于两位著名的证券分析家本杰明?格雷厄姆教授和大卫?多得教授。1951年,21岁,他发现本杰明?格雷厄姆当时正在GEICO任董事。他乘火车到华盛顿,并直接去GEICO总部敲门,直到门卫允许进入,在打听之后,他发现有人在6楼办公室工作,这个人便是公司的财务副总监。当巴菲特问他有关企业和保险的一般问题时,他们谈了数小时。 巴菲特毕业后想去华尔街找工作。他的父亲和格雷厄姆都劝他不要去。巴菲特回家并开始和苏珊?汤普逊约会。他买下了Texaco加油站作为一个副业投资,同时,他开始做股票纪纪人。在此期间,巴菲特也学习了戴尔?卡内基公共演讲课程。利用他所学到的东西,他感到更加自信,并足以在内布拉斯加州大学一个夜校讲授《投资原理》。他所教学生的平均年龄是他的两倍多(当时他才21岁)。1952年,22岁,巴菲特与苏珊?汤普逊在当年4月结婚。他们租了一套公寓,每月租金65美元,并在当年拥有了他们的第一个孩子,取名苏茜。 1954年,24岁,本杰明?格雷厄姆给巴菲特打电话,并在他的合伙公司给巴菲特提供一份工作。他开始的年薪是12000美元。这时,巴菲特已有了他们的第二个孩子霍华德。 1956 年,26岁,格雷厄姆退休,他的合伙公司垮台。自离开大学6年来,巴菲特的个人储蓄从9800美元增至14万美元。巴菲特的家搬回奥马哈的家。5 月1日,巴菲特创立了巴菲特协会。7个家庭成员和朋友总计投入10.5万美元。巴菲特自己投资仅100美元。年底前,他创立另外两个合伙企业。 1957年,27岁,他又建立了两个合伙企业,他当时在他们家管理着5个投资合伙公司。这时,他们有了第三个孩子彼得。巴菲特购买了一个五卧室的房子,并进行粉刷,总计花费31500美元。从那时到现在,他就一直住在那里。 1958年,28岁,他的最早的合伙企业已发展到第三年,合伙人的钱已变成了两倍。 1959年,29岁,巴菲特被介绍认识Charlie Munger,此人最终成为了Berkshire Hathaway公司的董事局副主席,他是公司成功的一个主要角色。他俩很快便走到了一起。 1960年,30岁,巴菲特请他的一个合伙人(此人是博士)另找10个博士,希望他们各自愿意将1万美元投入他的合伙企业。最终有11个博士愿意投资。1961年,31岁,由于合伙企业已值数百万美元,巴菲特将他的第一个100万美元投资在一个风车制造公司。

巴菲特的经典语录

巴菲特的经典语录 导读:1、我们的目标是使我们持股合伙人的利润来自于企业,而不是其他共有者的愚蠢行为。 2、我有一个内部得分牌。如果我做了某些其他人不喜欢但我感觉良好的事,我会很高兴。如果其他人称赞我所做过的事,但我自己却不满意,我不会高兴的。 3、恐惧和贪婪:要在别人贪婪的时候恐惧,而在别人恐惧的时候贪婪。 4、正直,勤奋,活力。而且,如果他们不拥有第一品质,其余两个将毁灭你。对此你要深思,这一点千真万确。 5、投资股票的第一原则:不要赔钱。 6、如果说投资有什么秘诀的话那就是要求你选择好最佳的投资时机。 7、民意测验不能代表思想。 8、如果你不断的跟着风向转、那你就不可能会发财。 9、如果某人相信了空头市场即将来临而卖出手中不错的投资,那么这人会发现,通常卖出股票后,所谓的空头市场立即转为多头市场,于是又再次错失良机。 10、如果你能从根本上把问题所在弄清楚并思考它,你永远也不会把事情搞得一团遭! 11、我建议你们不要去经纪人那里套小道消息,因为他们并不值

得信赖。大多数小道消息也没有什么价值。但是有的主意,比如说我们的主意,却是非常私有化的,这点我和我的老师不一样。 12、在一个人们相信市场有效性的市场里投资,就像与某个被告知看牌没有好处的人在一起打桥牌。 13、投资人必须谨记,你的投资成绩并非像奥运跳水比赛的方式评分,难度高低并不重要,你正确地投资一家简单易懂而竞争力持续的企业所得到的回报,与你辛苦地分析一家变量不断、复杂难懂的企业可以说是不相上下。 14、没有绝对的优势和劣势,这一都取决于你如何对待它,稍稍偏转一下你的方向,逆风就会变成顺风。刻苦努力,坚持不懈,最耀眼的阳光就会跑出到你的身后。你生活的起点并不重要,重要的是最好你抵达了哪里。 15、兴趣永远是第一位的,财富随兴趣,而不是兴趣追随财富。可以参考如何找到自己的兴趣呢? 16、不要投资一门蠢人都可以做的生意,因为终有一日蠢人都会这样做。 17、任何不能永远前进的事物都将停滞。 18、我不拿任何工作与我的工作做交易,并且我的工作中包含着**生活。 19、一个人应当时刻尊重他人,尊重不同的观念。一个人总要尝试去理解对方的立场,站在对方的立场看问题,可以使我们的胸怀更

巴菲特投资宝典 美国华尔街投资大师巴菲特投资赚钱宝典大致可概括为: 5+12+8+2。即5项投资逻辑、12项投资要点、8项选股标准和2项 投资方式。 5项投资逻辑 1.因为我把自己当成是企业的经营者,所以我成为优秀的投资人;因为我把自己当成投资人,所以我成为优秀的企业经营者。 2.好的企业比好的价格更重要。 3.一生追求消费垄断企业。 4.最终决定公司股价的是公司的实质价值。 5.没有任何时间适合将最优秀的企业脱手 12项投资要点 1.利用市场的愚蠢,进行有规律的投资。 2.买价决定报酬率的高低,即使是长线投资也是如此。 4.不在意一家公司来年可赚多少,仅有意未来5至10年能赚多少。 5.只投资未来收益确定性高的企业。 6.通货膨胀是投资者的最大敌人。 7.价值型与成长型的投资理念是相通的;价值是一项投资未来现金流量的折现值;而成长只是用来决定价值的预测过程。 8.投资人财务上的成功与他对投资企业的了解程度成正比。

9.安全边际从两个方面协助你的投资:首先是缓冲可能的价格风险;其次是可获得相对高的权益报酬率。 10.拥有一只股票,期待它下个星期就上涨,是十分愚蠢的。 11.就算联储主席偷偷告诉我未来两年的货币政策,我也不会改变我的任何一个作为。 12.不理会股市的涨跌,不担心经济情势的变化,不相信任何预测,不接受任何内幕消息,只注意两点:A.买什么股票;B.买入价格 8项选股标准 1.必须是消费垄断企业。 2.产品简单、易了解、前景看好。 3.有稳定的经营史。 4.经营者理性、忠诚,始终以股东利益为先。 5.财务稳键。 6.经营效率高、收益好。 7.资本支出少、自由现金流量充裕。 8.价格合理。 2项投资方式 1.卡片打洞、终生持有,每年检查一次以下数字:A.初始的权益报酬率;B.营运毛利;C.负债水准;D.资本支出;E.现金流量。 2.当市场过于高估持有股票的价格时,也可考虑进行短期套利。 某种意义上说,卡片打洞与终生持股,构成了巴式方法最为独特的部分。也是最使人入迷的部分。 延伸阅读:巴菲特投资理念

巴菲特100句投资语录

巴菲特100句投资语录 打工与创业本质上的区别 2、那些最好的买卖,刚开始的时候,从数字上看,几乎都会告诉你不要买。 这应该继格雷厄姆“雪茄烟蒂法”后、巴菲特通过费雪“成长性”对投资活动的又一提升 3、我们之所以取得目前的成就,是因为我们关心的是寻找那些我们可以跨越的一英尺障碍,而不是去拥有什么能飞越七英尺的能力。 这个说的也是能力圈的问题。经常看到人们在讨论本身一头雾水的投资概念,让我常常想起这话。 4、在别人恐惧时我贪婪,在别人贪婪时我恐惧。 逆向思维 5、如果你不愿意拥有一只股票十年,那就不要考虑拥有它十分钟。 这是所谓价值投资者决定买股票时要过的第一关。 6、拥有一只股票,期待它下个早晨就上涨是十分愚蠢的。 7、永远不要问理发师你是否需要理发。 知道老巴为什么认为拜访公司不一定有用了吧? 8、任何不能永远发展的事物,终将消亡。 9、投资并非一个智商为160的人就一定能击败智商为

130的人的游戏。 大概智商高的人未必知道自己的能力圈边界在哪里,但智商高的人可能往往容易越出自己的能力圈。 10、市场就像上帝一样,帮助那些自己帮助自己的人,但与上帝不一样的地方是,他不会原谅那些不知道自己在做什么的人。 11、就算美联储主席格林斯潘偷偷告诉我他未来二年的货币政策,我也不会改变我的任何一个作为。 独立思考能力 12、我只做我完全明白的事。 追求确定性 13、不同的人理解不同的行业。最重要的事情是知道你自己理解哪些行业,以及什么时候你的投资决策正好在你自己的能力圈内。 每个人投资的能力圈非常重要 14、很多事情做起来都会有利可图,但是,你必须坚持只做那些自己能力范围内的事情,我们没有任何办法击倒泰森。 要充分了解自己,有利于做出正确的判断 15、对你的能力圈来说,最重要的不是能力圈的范围大小,而是你如何能够确定能力圈的边界所在。如果你知道了能力圈的边界所在,你将比那些能力圈虽然比你大5倍却不

巴菲特1984年在哥伦比亚大学的演讲中文版

编者按: 1984年,为了纪念由Benjamin Graham和Daved L. Dodd所合著的《Security Analysis》出版五十周年,哥伦比亚大学邀请了巴菲特来主办一场演讲。这篇文章,“The Superinvestors of Graham-and-Doddsville”,乃是根据当时的讲稿改编而成。文中,巴菲特告诉我们,Graham 的追随者们如何运用Graham的价值投资法,在股市中取得非凡的成功。 (因此,文中的第一人称“我”,指的是巴菲特。) 也许有人会问:Graham和Dodd所提倡的价值投资法,是不是已经过时了呢 今天,很多学术人员会回答说:是的。他们认为,市场是有效的,所以,一切有关经济状况和公司的前景的因素都会反映在股票的价格中。这是因为股市中有很多聪明的分析员,他们会尽量应用所有已知的资讯,使得股票不会偏离其合理的价格。支持此理论的人认为,股市中是没有所谓的“被低估”的股票的;而那些所谓“能够战胜市场”的投资者,也只不过是侥幸罢了。因为,根据其理论(价格已反映所有资讯),拥有“长期战胜市场”的能力,是不可能的。 无论如何,以下我将为大家介绍一批投资者。他们年复一年的,取得了比S&P500指数更好的投资成果。那么,他们的成功到底是不是纯粹的巧合或运气呢,这是值得我们来验证一下的。首先一点,所有以下例举的这些成功者都是我所认识的人,而且都是早在15年前或更久以前,就已经被认定为是优秀的投资者了的。这一点非常重要。因为,如果说,我是在今天早上才从几千个名单中选出最成功的那几个来给你们,那以下的内容就没有什么意义了。第二点,所有的这些投资记录都是经过审查的(audited)。而且,我曾向有参与这些基金的人们求证,他们这些年来所取得的回酬,证实是与这些基金的财政报告相符的。 在我们开始这项验证之前,先说一个比喻。大家想象一下,现在我们举办一个全国性的“掷硬币”赌博游戏,让全体美国人(亿)一起参加,每个人的都以1美元的赌注开始玩。第一天早上,所有的参与者将会开始押注。猜对了的人,可以赢得猜错的人的那1美元。每一天,输了的人会被淘汰出局。第二天,留下来的胜利者将继续游戏,但都必须把之前所赢来的钱全拿来做赌注。如此,(根据“掷硬币”50%的胜负几率)每过一天,就会有约一半的人出局,

巴菲特投资语录巴菲特经典名言

巴菲特投资语录巴菲特经典名言 1、一生能够积累多少财富,不取决于你能够赚多少钱,而取决于你如何投资理财,钱找人胜过人找钱,要懂得钱为你工作,而不是你为钱工作。 2、如果你打了半小时牌,仍然不知道谁是菜鸟,那么你就是。 3、你人生的起点并不是那么重要,重要的是你最后抵达了哪里。 4、竞争并不是推动人类前进的动力,嫉妒才是。 5、当有人逼迫你去突破自己,你要感恩他。他是你生命中的贵人,也许你会因此而改变和蜕变。当没有人逼迫你,请自己逼迫自己,因为真正的改变是自己想改变。蜕变的过程是很痛苦的,但每一次的蜕变都会有成长的惊喜。 6、无论你多有天分,也无论你多么努力,有些事情就是需要时间。让九个女人同时怀孕,小孩也不可能在一个月内出生。 7、永远不要问理发师你是否需要理发。 8、当大浪退去时,我们才知道谁在裸泳

9、如何定义朋友呢:他们会向你隐瞒什么? 10、你们到了我这个年纪的时候就会发现,衡量自己成功的标准就是有多少人在真正关心你、爱你。 11、我们之所以取得目前的成就,是因为我们关心的是寻找那些我们可以跨越的一英尺障碍,而不是去拥有什么能飞越七英尺的能力。 12、形成自己的宏观观点,或是听别人对宏观或市场进行预测,都是在浪费时间。事实上这是危险的,因为这可能会模糊你的视野,让你看不清真正重要的事实。 13、伴侣是人生最大的投资。在选择伴侣上,如果你错了,将让你损失很多,不仅仅是金钱方面。 14、我只做我完全明白的事。 15、关于蜕变的句子:  我见过蚕蜕皮的样子,我以为那是会疼的。而现在,我将孤独的一面翻转,将胸膛向世界敞开,我就知道自己错了,原来蜕变是种温暖的自由当有人逼迫你去突破自己,你要感恩他。他是你生命中的贵人,也许你会因此而改变和蜕变。当没有人逼迫你,请自己逼迫自己,因为真正的改变是自己想改变。蜕变的过程是很痛苦的,但每一次的蜕变都会有成长的惊喜。 16、如果你不愿意拥有一只股票十年,那就不要考虑拥有它十分钟。 17、就算美联储主席格林斯潘偷偷告诉我他未来二年的货币政策,我也不会改变我的任何一个作为。

巴菲特经典演讲

巴菲特经典演讲 引言 耐心的花五分钟读完全文,不会没有收获的。本文为Buffett 在Columbia Business School的讲演。 格雷厄姆与多德追求“价值远超过价格的安全保障”,这种证券分析方法是否已经过时?目前许多撰写教科书的教授认为如此。他们认为,股票市场是有效率的市场;换言之,股票价格已经充分反应了公司一切己知的事实以及整体经济情况:这些理论家认为,市场上没有价格偏低的股票,因为聪明的证券分析师将运用全部的既有资讯,以确保适当的价格。投资者能经年累月地击败市场,纯粹是运气使然。“如果价格完全反应既有的资讯,则这类的投资技巧将不存在。”一位现今教科书的作者如此与写道。 或许如此!但是,我要提供一组投资者的绩效供各位参考,他们长期的表现总是超越史坦普500种股价指数。他们的绩效即使纯属巧合,这项假说至少也值得我们加以审查。审

查的关键事实是,我早就熟识这些赢家,而且长年以来便视他们为超级投资者,最近的认知也有十五年之久。缺少这项条件——换言之,如果我最近才从成千上万的记录中挑选几个名字,并且在今天早上提供给各位——我建议各位立即停止阅读本文。我必须说明,所有的这些记录都经过稽核。我必须再说明,我认识许多上述经理人的客户,他们长年以来所收取的支票确实符合既有的记录。 在进行审查之前,我要各位设想—场全国性的掷铜板大赛。让我们假定,全美国2.25亿的人口在明天早晨起床时都掷出一枚一美元的铜板。早晨太阳升起时,他们都走到门外掷铜板,并猜铜板出现的正面或反面。如果猜对了,他们将从猜错者的手中赢得一美元。每天都有输家遭到淘汰,奖金则不断地累积。经过十个早晨的十次投掷之后,全美国约有2.2万人连续十次猜对掷铜板的结果。每人所赢得的资金约超过1000美元。 现在,这群人可能会开始炫耀自己的战绩,此乃人的天性使然。他们可能保持谦虚的态度,但在鸡尾酒宴会中,他们偶尔会以此技巧吸引异性的注意,并炫耀其投掷铜板的奇异洞

巴菲特励志名言_股神巴菲特财富经典语录

巴菲特励志名言股神巴菲特财富经典语录 1、一生能够积累多少财富,不取决于你能够赚多少钱,而取决于你如何投资理财,钱找人胜过人找钱,要懂得钱为你工作,而不是你为钱工作。 2、思想枯竭,则巧言生焉! 3、他是一个天才,但他能够把某些东西解释得如此简易和清晰,以至起码在那一刻,你完全理解了他所说的。 4、在别人恐惧时我贪婪,在别人贪婪时我恐惧。 5、如果你不愿意拥有一只股票十年,那就不要考虑拥有它十分钟。 6、拥有一只股票,期待它下个早晨就上涨是十分愚蠢的。——巴菲特 7、投资对于我来说,既是一种运动,也是一种娱乐。他喜欢通过寻找好的猎物来“捕获稀有的快速移动的大象。” 8、我工作时不思考其他任何东西。我并不试图超过七英尺高的栏杆:我到处找的是我能跨过的一英尺高的栏杆。(现实主义者) 9、投资并非一个智商为160的人就一定能击败智商为130的人的游戏。 10、市场就像上帝一样,帮助那些自己帮助自己的人,但与上帝不一样的地方是,他不会原谅那些不知道自己在做什么的人。 11、如果发生了坏事情,请忽略这件事。——巴菲特励志名言 12、要赢得好的声誉需要20年,而要毁掉它,5分钟就够。如果明白了这一点,你做

起事来就会不同了。 13、不同的人理解不同的行业。最重要的事情是知道你自己理解哪些行业,以及什么时候你的投资决策正好在你自己的能力圈内。 14、我们之所以取得目前的成就,是因为我们关心的是寻找那些我们可以跨越的一英尺障碍,而不是去拥有什么能飞越七英尺的能力。 15、我从来不曾有过自我怀疑。我从来不曾灰心过。 16、我始终知道我会富有。对此我不曾有过一丝一刻的怀疑。 17、归根结底,我一直相信我自己的眼睛远胜于其他一切。 18、我是一个非常现实的人,我知道自己能够做什么,而且我喜欢我的工作。也许成为一个职业棒球大联盟的球星非常不错,但这是不现实的。 19、对于大多数投资者而言,重要的不是他到底知道什么,而是他们是否真正明白自己到底不知道什么。 20、一定要在自己的理解力允许的范围内投资。 21、任何一位,卷入复杂工作的人都需要同事。 22、如果你是池塘里的一只鸭子,由于暴雨的缘故水面上升,你开始在水的世界之中上浮。但此时你却以为上浮的是你自己,而不是池塘。 23、哲学家们告诉我们,做我们所喜欢的,然后成功就会随之而来。 24、开始存钱并及早投资,这是最值得养成的好习惯。 25、一生能够积累多少财富,不取决于你能够赚多少钱,而取决于你如何投资理财,

巴菲特 佛罗里达大学 演讲稿

我在这里只想对学生们讲一分钟关于你们走出校门后的未来。你们在这里已经学了很多关于投资方面的知识,你们学会如何做好事情,你们有足够的IQ能做好,你们也有动力和精力来做好,否则你们就不会在这里了。你们中的许多人都将最终实现你们的理想。但是在智能和能量之外,还有更多的东西来决定你是否成功,我想谈谈那些东西。 实际上,在我们奥马哈有一位先生说,当他雇人时,他会看三个方面:诚信,智能,和精力。 雇一个只有智能和精力,却没有诚信的人会毁了雇者。一个没有诚信的人,你只能希望他愚蠢和懒惰,而不是聪明和精力充沛。 我想谈的是第一点,因为我知道你们都具备后两点。在考虑这个问题时,请你们和我一起玩玩这个游戏。你们现在都是在MBA的第二年,所以你们对自己的同学也应该都了解了。现在我给你们一个来买进10%的你的一个同学的权利,一直到他的生命结束。 你不能选那些有着富有老爸的同学,每个人的成果都要靠他自己的努力。我给你一个小时来想这个问题,你愿意买进哪一个同学余生的10%。 你会给他们做一个IQ测试吗,选那个IQ值最高的?我很怀疑。你会挑那个学习成绩最好的吗,我也怀疑。你也不一定会选那个最精力充沛的,因为你自己本身就已经动力十足了。 你可能会去寻找那些质化的因素,因为这里的每个人都是很有脑筋的。 你想了一个小时之后,当你下赌注时,可能会选择那个你最有认同感的人,最有领导才能的人,能实现他人利益的人,慷慨,诚实,即使是他自己的主意,也会把功劳分予他人的人。 所有这些素质,你可以把这些你所钦佩的素质都写下来。(你会选择)那个你最钦佩的人。 然后,我这里再给你们下个跘儿。在你买进10%你的同学时,你还要卖出10%的另外一个人。这不是很有趣吗?你会想我到底卖谁呢? 你可能还是不会找IQ最低的。你可能会选那个让你厌恶的同学,以及那些令你讨厌的品质。 那个你不愿打交道的人,其他人也不愿意与之打交道的人。是什么品质导致了那一点呢?你能想出一堆来,比如不够诚实,爱占小便宜等等这些,你可以把它们写在纸的右栏。 当你端详纸的左栏和右栏时,会发现有意思的一点。能否将橄榄球扔出60码之外并不重要,是否能在9秒3之内跑100码也不重要,是否是班上最好看的也无关大局。 真正重要的是那些在纸上左栏里的品质。如果你愿意的话,你可以拥有所有那些品质。那些行动,脾气,和性格的品质,都是可以做到的。它们不是我们在座的每一位力所不能及的。 再看看那些右栏里那些让你厌恶的品质,没有一项是你不得不要的。如果你有的话,你也可以改掉。

巴菲特经典语录【162句】

巴菲特经典语录【162句】 126、有人曾经说过,当寻找受雇的职员时,你要从中寻找三种品质——正直、勤奋、活力。 而且,如果他们不拥有第一品质,其余两个将毁灭你。对此你要深思,这一点是千真万确的。如果你雇用了没有第二种品质的某些人,你实际上想要他们既哑又懒。 127、一位所有者或投资者,如果尽量把他自己和那些管理着好业务的经理人结合在一起,也能成就伟业。 128、任何一位,卷入复杂工作的人都需要同事。 129、生活的关键在于要给自己准确定位。 130、如果不能在30岁以前成为百万富翁,我就从奥玛哈的建筑物上跳下去。 131、在马拉松比赛中,你想跑到第一的前提是必须跑完全程。 132、在拖拉机问世的时候做一匹马,或在汽车问世的时候做一名铁匠,都不是一件有趣的事。 133、哲学家们告诉我们,做我们所喜欢的,然后成功就会随之而来。 134、生活的关键是,要弄清谁为谁工作。 135、哈佛的一些大学生问我,我该去为谁工作?我回答,去

为哪个你最仰慕的人工作。两周后,我接到一个来自该校教务长的电话。他说,你对孩子们说了些什么?他们都成了自我雇佣者。 136、在规则之外,要遵循榜样的引导。 137、除了丰富的知识和可靠的判断外,勇气是你所拥有的最宝贵的财富。 138、要想游得快,借助潮汐的力量要比用手划水效果更好。 139、民意测验不能代表思想。 140、传统(的智慧)长,智慧短。 141、永远不要从事那些目前使人痛苦,但从现在起10年后可能会大有改善的事业。如果你今天不欣赏你所从事的事业,可能10年后你仍不会欣赏它。 142、每个人都会深受影响,美国人的心灵将永远不会回到从前。(关于“911”的影响) 143、在生活中,如果你正确选择了你的英雄,你就是幸运的。我建议你们所有人,尽你所能地挑选出几个英雄。 144、如果你是池塘里的一只鸭子,由于暴雨的缘故水面上升,你开始在水的世界之中上浮。但此时你却以为上浮的是你自己,而不是池塘。 145、你真能向一条鱼解释在陆地上行走的感觉吗?对鱼来说,陆上的一天胜过几千年的空谈。 146、当适当的气质与适当的智力结构相结合时,你就会得到

股神巴菲特经典名言语录

股神巴菲特经典名言语录 巴菲特经典名言 1、风险、是来自于你不知道你在做什么。 2、若你不打算持有某只股票达十年、则十分钟也不要持有。《股神巴菲特》 3、投资的秘诀、不是评估某一行业对社会的影响有多大、或它的发展前景有多好、而是一间公司有多强的竞争优势、这优势可以维持多久。产品和服务的优越性持久而深厚、才能给投资者带来优厚的回报。 4、股神巴菲特:财务顾问就是那些比你更需要你的钱的人。 5、美国股神巴菲特:当那些好的企业突然受困于市场逆转、股价不合理的下跌、这就是大好的投资机会来临了。 6、美国股神巴菲特:我最喜欢的持股时间是……永远! 7、股神巴菲特:要投资成功、就要拼命阅读、不但读有兴趣购入的公司资料、也要阅读其它竞争者的资料。

8、股神巴菲特:金钱并不是很重要的东西、至少它买不到健康与友情。 9、股神巴菲特:如果你认为你可以经常进出股市而致富的话、我不愿意和你合伙做生意、但我希望成为你的股票经纪。 10、在股票市场中、唯一能让您被三振出局的是-不断的抢高杀低、耗损资金。 11、世界上最笨的事情就是-看到股价上扬就决定要投资一档股票。 12、不要以价格决定是否购买股票、而是要取决于这个企业的价值。 13、投资股票的第一原则:不要赔钱。 14、把每支投资的股票都当作一桩生意来做。 15、自认对市场震荡起伏敏感而杀进杀出的投资人、反而不如以不变应万变的投资人容易赚钱。 16、假如观念会过时、那就不足以成为观念。

17、花四毛钱买价值一块钱的东西。 18、如果股市可以用理论去有效分析、我早就变成路边的流浪汉了。 19、如果股市投资人只需相信理论上的投资效益、就好比较一个打桥牌、却告诉他看各家的牌对于桥局没有任何帮助一样。 20、买股票时、应该假设明天开始股市要休市3-5年。 21、短期而言、股市是一个投票机器、长??期而言、股市是一个体重计。 21、如果你不断的跟着风向转、那你就不可能会发财。 22、判断一家企业的价值、一半是靠科学研究、一半是靠艺术上的灵感。 23、不需要等到股价跌到谷底才进场买股票、反正你买到的股价一定比它真正的价值还低。 24、买股票的时机应该与大多数的投资人想法相反。

巴菲特投资语录

巴菲特投资语录 导读:经典语录巴菲特投资语录 1、在生活中如果你正确选择了你的英雄你就是幸运的。我建议你们所有人尽你所能地挑选出几个英雄。 2、他是一个天才但他能够把某些东西解释得如此简易和清晰以至起码在那一刻你完全理解了他所说的。 3、按兵不动:有时成功的投资需要按兵不动。 4、我们不会因为想要将企业的获利数字增加一个百分点,便结束比较不赚钱的事业,但同时我们也觉得只因公司非常赚钱便无条件去支持一项完全不具前景的投资的做法不太妥当,亚当·史密斯一定不赞同我第一项的看法,而卡尔·马克斯却又会反对我第二项见解,而采行中庸之道是惟一能让我感到安心的做法。 5、巨大的投资机会来自优秀的公司被不寻常的环境所困,这时会导致这些公司的股票被错误地低估。 6、如果发生了坏事情请忽略这件事。 7、判断一家企业的价值一半是靠科学研究一半是靠艺术上的灵感。 8、在你能力所及的范围内投资。关键不是范围的大小,而是正确认识自己。 9、在别人贪婪的时候我们恐惧,在别人恐惧的时候我们贪婪。 10、任何一位卷入复杂工作的人都需要同事。 11、任何不能永远前进的事物都将停滞。

12、如果发生了核战争,忽略这一事件。 13、就算美联储主席格林斯潘偷偷告诉我他未来两年的货币政策,我也不会改变我的任何一个作为。 14、投资是一项理性的工作,如果你不能理解这一点,最好别搀和。 15、如果你无法左右局面,那么错失一次机会也不是什么坏事。 16、在我从事投资工作的35年里,没有发现人们向价值投资靠拢的迹象。似乎人性中有一些消极因素,把简单的问题复杂化。 17、没有公式能判定股票的真正价值,唯一方法是彻底了解这家公司。 18、如果你加入扑克赌局20分钟还不知道谁是输家,那么你就是输家! 19、目前的金融课程可能只会帮助你做出庸凡之事。 20、生活的关键是要弄清谁为谁工作。 21、头脑中的东西在未整理分类之前全叫“垃圾”! 22、如果股市投资人只需相信理论上的投资效益就好比较一个打桥牌却告诉他看各家的牌对于桥局没有任何帮助一样。 23、如果你是池塘里的一只鸭子,由于暴雨的缘故水面上升,你开始在水的世界之中上浮。但此时你却以为上浮的是你自己,而不是池塘。 24、你必须独立思考。我总是感到不可思议为什么高智商的人不动脑子地去模仿别人。我从别人那里从没有讨到什么高招。

沃伦巴菲特在Florida商学院的演讲

(别嫌长,看完一定会有收获,绝对比看那些谁谁谁的照片有意思) 在演讲里,巴菲特谈做人,谈投资,谈各种行业使译者受益匪浅。在这里翻出来以嗜读者。 翻译如下? (一)? 我想先讲几分钟的套话,然后我就主要来接受你们的提问。我想谈的是你们的所思所想。我鼓励你们给我出难题,畅所欲言,言无不尽。(原文:我希望你们扔些高难度的球,如果你们的投球带些速度的话,我回答起来会更有兴致)你们几乎可以问任何问题,除了上个礼拜的Texas?A&M的大学橄榄球赛,那超出我所能接受的极限了。我们这里来了几个SunTrust(译者注:美国一家大型商业银行)的人。我刚刚参加完Coca?Cola的股东大会(译者注:Warren?Buffet的投资公司是Coca?Cola的长期大股东之一),我坐在吉米●威廉姆斯边上。吉米领导了SunTrust多年。吉米一定让我穿上这件SunTrust的T恤到这来。我一直试着让老年高尔夫联盟给我赞助,但是都无功而返。没想到我在SunTrust这,却做的不错。吉米说,基于SunTrust存款的增长,我会得到一定比例的酬劳。所以我为SunTrust鼓劲。(译者注:巴菲特在开玩笑)

关于你们走出校门后的前程,我在这里只想讲一分钟。你们在这里已经学了很多关于投资方面的知识,你们学会如何做好事情,你们有足够的IQ能做好,你们也有动力和精力来做好,否则你们就不会在这里了。你们中的许多人都将最终实现你们的理想。但是在智能和能量之外,还有更多的东西来决定你是否成功,我想谈谈那些东西。实际上,在我们Omaha(译者注:Berkshire?Hathaway公司的总部所在地)有一位先生说,当他雇人时,他会看三个方面:诚信,智能,和精力。雇一个只有智能和精力,却没有诚信的人会毁了雇者。一个没有诚信的人,你只能希望他愚蠢和懒惰,而不是聪明和精力充沛。我想谈的是第一点,因为我知道你们都具备后两点。在考虑这个问题时,请你们和我一起玩玩这个游戏。你们现在都是在MBA的第二年,所以你们对自己的同学也应该都了解了。现在我给你们一个来买进10%的你的一个同学的权利,一直到他的生命结束。你不能选那些有着富有老爸的同学,每个人的成果都要靠他自己的努力。我给你一个小时来想这个问题,你愿意买进哪一个同学余生的10%。你会给他们做一个IQ测试吗,选那个IQ值最高的我很怀疑。你会挑那个学习成绩最好的吗,我也怀疑。你也不一定会选那个最精力充沛的,因为你自己本身就已经动力十足了。你可能会去寻找那些质化的因素,因为这里的每个人都是很有脑筋的。你想了一个小时之后,当你下赌注时,可能会选择那个你最有认同感的人,那个最有领导才能的人,那个能实现他人利益的人,那个慷慨,诚实,即使是他自己的主意,也会把功劳
