46. “We’re more comfortable in that kind of business. It means we miss a lot of very big winners. But we wouldn’t know how to pick them out anyway. It also means we have very few big losers – and that’s quite helpful over time. We’re perfectly willing to trade away a big payoff for a certain payoff.” 1999 BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY ANNUAL MEETING
对于那种生意,我们更为舒心。这意味着我们会错失很多赚大钱的机会,但毕竟我们也不懂得怎么选中它们。这也意味着我们很少有亏大钱的时候,时间一长,这对我们可是很有裨益的。我们心甘情愿地用一个可能很大的收益来换取一个确定的收益。
47. “It’s simply to say that managers and investors alike must understand that accounting numbers are the beginning, not the end, of business valuation.”1982AR
简单地说,资金经理和投资者投应该明白,对于企业估值来说,会计数据只是入手之处,而不是总结依据。
48. “When returns on capital are ordinary, an earn-more-by-putting-up-more record is no great managerial achievement. You can get the same result personally while operating from your rocking chair. just quadruple the capital you commit to a savings account and you will quadruple your earnings. You would hardly expect hosannas for that particular accomplishment. Yet, retirement announcements regularly sing the praises of CEOs who have, say, quadrupled earnings of their widget company during their reign – with no one examining whether this gain was attributable simply to many years of retained earnings and the workings of compound interest.”1985AR
当资产回报率很一般的时候,投得多,赚得多,这种盈利记录算不上什么了不起的管理绩效。
你躺在摇椅上运作,自己就可以得到同样的结果。你往存款账户里加四倍本金,就会多得四倍的利息收入。对于这种成就,你根本就不会想到被人唱赞美诗。然而,在很多CEO退休时,我们就经常听到这种赞颂,在他们的领导下,他们的小零件公司的盈利增加了四倍,没有人核查这种收益是否仅仅源自于多年的留存收益和复合利息。
49. “Intrinsic value can be defined simply: It is the discounted value of the cash that can be taken out of a business during its remaining life. The calculation of intrinsic value, though, is not so simple. As our definition suggests, intrinsic value is an estimate rather than a precise figure, and it is additionally an estimate that must be changed if interest rates move or forecasts of future cash flows are revised. “1994AR
内在价值可以简单地定义为:一个企业在其剩余的生命周期里可取现金的贴现价值。不过,内在价值的计算不是这么简单。从定义上可以看出,内在价值只是一个估值,而不是一个精确的数值;另外,如果利率变动了,或者未来现金流预测调整了,这个估值也必须跟着变。
50. “The line separating investment and speculation, which is never bright and clear, becomes blurred still further when most market participants have recently enjoyed triumphs. Nothing sedates rationality like large doses of effortless money. After a heady experience of that kind, normally sensible people drift into behavior akin to that of Cinderella at the ball. They know that overstaying the festivities—that is, continuing to speculate in companies that have gigantic valuations relative to the cash they are likely to generate in the future—will eventually bring on pumpkins and mice. But they nevertheless hate to miss a single minute of what is one helluva party. Therefore, the giddy participants all plan to leave just seconds before midnight. There’s a problem, though: They are dancing in a room in which the clocks have no hands. “2000AR
投资与投机之间的界线,从来都不是明朗清晰的,而当市场上大部分的参与者都在享受胜利时,这个界线会变得更为模糊。不费吹灰之力赚个盆满钵满,没有什么能比这更让人心平气的了。那样一番令人兴奋的经历之后,通常有理智的人会不知不觉进入灰姑娘在舞会上的行为模式。他们知道在这种热闹喜庆当中逗留过久,也就是说,继续在那些相对于未来现金流估值巨大的公司上投机,那些美好最终都会变回南瓜和老鼠。但是面对一场绝佳的狂欢派对,他们一分钟也不愿错过。因此,这些晕头晕脑的参与者都计划在午夜前的几秒内离场。但是,问题来了:他们狂舞的房间内,时钟是没有指针的。
52. “We enjoy the process far more than the proceeds”INTERVIEW
我们享受投资的过程,远胜过收益。
53. “When a management with a reputation for brilliance tackles a business with a reputation for bad economics, it is the reputation of the business that remains intact.”1980AR
当一个美名远扬的优秀管理团队去应付一个臭名昭著的经济糟糕的企业时,结果一般是企业的名声丝毫无损,继续一团糟。
54. “a stock is the right to own a little piece of a business. A stock is worth a certain fraction of what you would be willing to pay for the whole business.”THE SNOWBALL 2009AR
股票就是拥有一个公司的一小块的所有权。股票的价值就是你愿意购买整个企业的那一小部分。
55. “use a margin of safety. Investing is built on estimates and uncertainty. A wide margin of safety ensures that the effects of good decisions are not wiped out by errors.1990AR
使用安全边际。投资是建立在预估和不确定上的。一个宽泛的安全边际会确保好的投资决策的成果不会因犯错而荡然无存。
56. Mr. Market is your servant, not your master. Graham postulated a moody character called Mr. Market, who offers to buy and sell stocks every day, often at prices that don’t make sense. Mr market’s moods should not influence your view of price. However, from time to time he does offer the chance to buy low and sell high.” 1993AR
市场先生是你的仆人,而不是你的主人。格雷厄姆老师假定了一个情绪多变的角色叫市场先生,他每天买卖股票,经常出价不合常理。你对价格的看法不应该受市场先生的情绪影响。但是,他时不时会提供你低买高卖的机会
