巴菲特致股东信-1964年

编者笔记:

  • 巴菲特始终在关注公司的状况,而不是宏观经济、利率、PMI、CPI、就业率等

1964 7 8

上半年的表现

由于我全家将于 6 23 日前往加利福利亚州度假,因此我在这里总结的市场水平是截止到 今年 6 18 日的市场表现,而不是 6 月底。

1964 年的上半年道琼斯平均工业指数从 762.95 点上涨至 831.50 点。在这段时间,投资者 还获得了大约相当于 14.40 点的红利收入。所以总体而言上半年市场的平均水平上涨 了 10.9%。我此时多么希望道琼斯指数在上半年乎没有上涨 ,而我能向你们报告我们获得了 5% 的正收益,又或者道琼斯指数下跌了 10%,而我们的资金却没有任何亏损或盈利。正如我 曾经反复告诉你们的那样 :在道琼斯指数大幅上涨的时候 ,我们往往难以跟上市场上扬的步 伐。

下面是自合伙企业成立以来我们的表现和道琼斯指数的对比情况:

在上半年我们的买入情况是令人满意的。我们的普通股投资中包括三家我们( B.P.L.)已经 是最大的单一持股人的公司 。这些股票一直在被我们买入 ,而且是在一个对于私人拥有者来 说每股价值被市场所低估的价格买入的 。对于这三家公司,有一家我们已经持续买入其股票 达 18 个月,而另外两家则持续买入其股票达一年左右的时间。

我们完全有可能在未来一年内继续日复一日的买入上述股票 ,只要上述公司或在其它的类似 情况中的公司能够持续的改善其盈利情况及增加其资产价值 ,同时其在资本市场上的股票价 格却没有什么起色。这样的投资对我们的短期表现不会起到很好的影响 ,但就长期而言这确 实是有利可图而且令人心安的做法 。上述情况最终会以两种形式终止 ,一是由于外部因素的 影响,其市场价格得到了正确的反映,二是我们的持续买入是的我们成为了实际控制人 。任 何一种结果都将令我感到满意。

需要注意的是 ,虽然在上述或类似的投资中 ,我们买入了价格被低估的股票 ,但是很多时候 我们都是不可能成为其实际控制人的 ,因此剩下的唯一出路就是等待市场再次正确反映其价 值,而市场正确反映其价值的时间我们是无法确定的。

我们在 1964 年的表现

我们在 1964 年获得了$4846312.37 的盈利,相对于道琼斯指数的表现而言,这并不是我 们表现出色的一年。我们( BPL)1964 年获得了 27.8%的增长,道琼斯指数增长了 18.7%。 对于有限合伙人来说,增长率为 22.3%。仅仅超出道琼斯指数 9.1%3.6%,这是至 1959 年以来我们表现得最差的一年。

虽然如此,我却并不感到灰心丧气,因为正如我早已经反复说过的,在道琼斯指数的表现

很好的年份中,我们将会难以赶上市场的上涨幅度,而我感到幸运的是这种情况尚未在 1964 年发生。

注:每年巴菲特都会把它的合伙企业的表现和道琼斯指数以及几家大的著名投资公司的表现 进行比较,同时提出自己的一些观点 ,并强调相比那些投资经理而言 ,不但他们的业绩表现 远远不如自己的合伙企业,同时巴菲特自己大部分的个人财产也都放在了合伙企业里面 ,而 不像其它的基金经理那样即便亏损自己的个人财产也少有损失。这里不再一一翻译出来 。而 他的投资业绩,事实证明比绝大多数基金经理的业绩好得多。

注:巴菲特随后论述了他关于长期复合收益率的观点 ,认为道琼斯指数近年来 11%以上的复 合收益率在未来是不会持续的 ,而他合伙企业未来的长期年均复合收益率也不可能保持在目

前的高水平。之后他再次不厌其烦地简单介绍了他的三种投资方式(请参见我对 合伙人信件的翻译 )。

(注:我们可以看到在道琼斯指数表现不好的年份 ,全靠 WORKOUTS(套利)的贡献才使 得巴菲特战胜了市场。巴菲特的第一种投资是有可能转化为第三种投资的 ,即对于普通股的 投资是有可能转化为 CONTROLS(控制)的,控股之后巴菲特就不再在乎公司的市场价值 了,只要该公司持续改善盈利 ,使得其资产价值不断增加 ,巴菲特的合伙企业的收益自然就 会不断增加。为了保证在买入后有利可图 ,巴菲特往往是把自己当成一个真正的生意人来权 衡是否买入某只股票的 ,这是他对普通股进行投资的基本立场 ,所以对于第一和第三种投资 方式,巴菲特的要求是非常苛刻的 ,他会挑选在公司股票的市场价格远远低于起市场价值的 时候买入,这样一旦他获得控股权,只要能够稍微改善公司的情况他就能够保证合理的利润 , 即便不可能控股 ,他也降低了长期持股的风险 。而对于第二种投资方式 ,则相对巴菲特不要 求什么价格远远低于价值 ,但是他看重的是另一方面的安全性 ,即短期是否可以获得确定无 疑的正回报(哪怕持股 3 个月只能获得 3%的收益,只要该收益有确定性,那么从年化收益 率的角度来看也是非常可观的收益率了 ,这在市场整体下跌的时候给整个投资组合带来的贡 献无疑是非常巨大的,尤其是当很大一部分的资本都投入其中的时候 ——问题在于巴菲特自 己也不是能够预测市场走势的人,因此他在信中也说到在 1962 年他获得超越市场水平的原 因固然是在于 WORKOUTS 的贡献,但幸运的是他刚好是在市场低迷的时候 在 WORKOUTS 中投入了较大比例的资金 )。由此可见巴菲特的投资方式是跟很多基金经理的投资方式有着 非常大的区别的 。)

《Becoming Steve Jobs》Chapter 12 Two Decisions

Jim Collins, the bestselling author of the management classics Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies and Good to Great: Why Some Companies Make the Leap … and Others Don’t, has a wonderful phrase to describe an essential characteristic of great leaders: deep restlessness. Collins applies the phrase to Steve, one of the two great leaders who inspire him the most (the other is Winston Churchill, the great English politician who was prime minister during most of World War II, from 1940 to 1945, and again from 1951 to 1955). Collins believes this restlessness is far more important and powerful than simple ambition or raw intelligence. It is the foundation of resilience, and self-motivation. It is fueled by curiosity, the ache to build something meaningful, and a sense of purpose to make the most of one’s entire life. 自己何其有幸,在不到30的年纪,就能感受到乔布斯的心境 “The things he was trying to do,” says Collins, “were always hard. Sometimes those things beat him up. But the response to fighti...

Steve Jobs at 44, By Michael Krantz, 1999

Differences and Similarities Between Apple and Pixar Apple turns out many products--a dozen a year; if you count all the minor ones, probably a hundred. Pixar is striving to turn out one a year. But the converse of that is that Pixar's products will still be used fifty years from now, whereas I don't think you'll be using any product Apple brings to market this year fifty years from now. Pixar is making art for the ages. Kids will be watching Toy Story in the future. And Apple is much more of a constant race to continually improve things and stay ahead of the competition.  His Role At Pixar At Pixar my job is to help build the studio and recruit people and help create a situation where they can do the best work of their lives. And to some degree it's the same at Apple. But at Pixar, I don't direct the movies, whereas at Apple probably, if I had to pick a role out of a film production, I'd be the director. So it...

《Becoming Steve Jobs》Chapter 15 The Whole Widget

What the world did see was an effective and visionary leader at the height of his powers. These were complicated years for Apple, but Steve handled almost every challenge in exactly the manner he wanted. He had fallen into leadership at such a young age, but he was comfortable in that role now, and justifiably sure of his capacity to guide Apple’s tens of thousands of employees to the goals he set for them. During these years, he would ensure the company’s continued success in personal computers by engineering a deft switch to a new kind of microprocessor; ruthlessly and successfully managing some major transitions in his executive team; and optimizing and building upon the efficiency and ambition of the company’s product development “treadmill,” as Tim Cook describes it. This is also when he delivered what is likely to be remembered as the most notable product of his life, the iPhone, and then improved even that by pivoting once again into a strategy he personally had not wanted to pu...

Foobar2000 组件安装教程

 原作者 博客地址   汉化作者 Asion博客   关于foobar 2000的一些资源 前言 foobar2000 由于其软件架构特点以及开放的姿态,使得第三方很容易开发组件(component)来拓展它的功能。由于在官网下载的默认安装文件只带了少量几个默认的组件,满足不了使用的需求,例如:默认不带 ape,tta,tak 等音频文件格式的解码器,很多无损压缩格式音乐没法播放。所以自己下载安装组件是必备的基本技能。 foobar2000 的中文汉化版(Asion 汉化)为了方便使用,集成了无损压缩文件解码器以及一些其它有用的插件,安装时选上即可,不喜欢折腾的建议使用汉化版。 这里组件指的是 foobar2000 标准组件(*.dll 文件),而非 vst 插件等其它插件,姑且把组件分为两类: 官方组件: 英文版安装包自带,安装时可选择; 第三方组件:非官方自带的组件 除了 foo_input_std.dll 和 foo_ui_std.dll 这两个组件是必须的外,其它的所有组件都 非必需 的,可以随需要增删。第三方组件可以去 官网 、 官方论坛 或者 官方 wiki 去找,也可以去贴吧等地逛逛。 下载 还是要强调一下,这里说的是 foobar2000 component ,不是中文网上通常说的 vst 插件。 下载好的组件包一般是 xxx.zip 或 xxx.fb2k-component 格式的文件,也有用 7z 打包的。前两种都是 zip 压缩(只要把 fb2k-component 改成 zip 文件就变成了 zip: 包)。标准状况下压缩包里的内容结构应该是 xxx.zip yyy.dll README.txt (可能没有) LICENCE.txt (可能没有) (其它杂七杂八) 除少数外一般只有一个 xxx.dll 文件.一定要注意压缩包结构不能是: xxx.zip yy folder (文件夹) zzz.dll … 否则要解压缩,提取那个 dll 文件。 安装 方法一(推荐) 打开 foobar2000 的菜单 文件 > 首选项(file >preferences) 的 组件(components...

巴菲特致股东信-1976年

 笔记: 为什么选择轻资产行业:当竞争疯狂时,不会强迫加入降价大战 最终选择了费雪的思想,选择能理解的优秀企业,以合理的价格买入并长期拥有 翻译: 雪球:https://xueqiu.com/6217262310/131440258 备份:https://archive.ph/XLK0S 原文: To the Stockholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc, After two dismal years, operating results in 1976 improved significantly. Last year we said the degree of progress in insurance underwriting would determine whether our gain in earnings would be "moderate" or "major." As it turned out, earnings exceeded even the high end of our expectations. In large part, this was due to the outstanding efforts of Phil Liesche's managerial group at National Indemnity Company. In dollar terms, operating earnings came to $16,073,000, or $16.47 per share. While this is a record figure, we consider return on shareholders' equity to be a much more significant yardstick of economic performance. Here our result was 17.3%, moderately above our long-term average and even further above the average o...

《Becoming Steve Jobs》Chapter 11 Do Your Level Best

As a mass-market consumer electronics device, the iPod would eventually be sold, of course, all the usual places: Best Buy, Circuit City, big-box department stores, and even the computer retailers like CompUSA. Steve disdained all these outlets. His obsession with his products continued well after they’d been manufactured. The tacky, low-margin hustle of these chains ran completely against the minimalist aesthetic of his products and the clean exuberance of his marketing. There was only one place where he really enjoyed seeing his products sold to the public: his own Apple stores, which had debuted four months ahead of the iPod. 觉得那些喧嚣、嘈杂的零售渠道,配不上自己极美的产品 Going back as far as the debut of the Mac, Steve had always groused about the way Apple computers were sold in its resellers’ stores. The way his computers were displayed and sold represented the very worst of what could go wrong when things weren’t done his way. The salespeople, always interested in quick turnover, seemed to make litt...

产品随想 | 陪读《Make Something Wonderful:Steve Jobs in his own words》1976-1996

  There’s lots of ways to be, as a person. And some people express their deep appreciation in different ways. But one of the ways that I believe people express their appreciation to the rest of humanity is to make something wonderful and put it out there. And you never meet the people. You never shake their hands. You never hear their story or tell yours. But somehow, in the act of making something with a great deal of care and love, something’s transmitted there. And it’s a way of expressing to the rest of our species our deep appreciation. So we need to be true to who we are and remember what’s really important to us. ──Steve, 2007 Introduction by Laurene Powell Jobs Much of what’s in these pages reflects guiding themes of Steve’s life: his sense of the worlds that would emerge from marrying the arts and technology; his unbelievable rigor, which he imposed first and most strenuously on himself; his tenacity in pursuit of assembling and leading great teams; and perhaps, above all,...

《Becoming Steve Jobs》Chapter 16 Blind Spots, Grudges, and Sharp Elbows

Steve could be pretty thin-skinned when someone prominent criticized the aesthetics of his products. He took great umbrage that Neil would, as Steve put it, “pop off in public like that without coming to talk to us about his technical concerns first.” From that point on he had rebuffed all of Neil’s attempts to smoke the peace pipe. 有趣 He had blind spots, grating behavioral habits, and a tendency to give in to emotional impulse that persisted his entire life. These characteristics are often used to make the case that Steve was an “asshole” or a “jerk,” or perhaps simply “binary”—that odd adjective often used to convey the sense that he was half asshole/half genius from birth to death. These aren’t useful, interesting, or enlightening descriptions. What’s more illuminating is to take a look at the specific ways in which Steve failed to do an effective job of tempering some of his weaknesses and antisocial traits, and to consider how, when, and why some of them continued to flare up even...
