6---Investing is the greatest business in the world because you never have to swing.
You stand at the plate; the pitcher throws you General Motor at 47! U.S steel at 39!
And nobody calls a strike on you. There's no penalty except opportunity. All day
you wait for the pitch you like; then, when the fielders are asleep, you step up and hit it.
投資是世界上最棒的事業了,因為你永遠不需要真的揮棒,你站在打擊區,投手將通用汽車用四十七哩的速度丟給你,或者將美國鋼鐵用三十九哩的速度丟給你;沒有人會對你喊:「好球!」;這裡沒有任何處罰,只有機會,你只要整天等著自己喜愛的球過來,然後當外野手都睡著時,你就走上前去,把球打出去。
7----I have never been big on leveraging because I never through it was important to make a lot of money next year. I have always felt that I would make more, but I have never been in a hurry.
我從未靠財務槓桿致富,因為我從來不認為在隔年賺大錢是件重要的事,我總覺得自己可以賺得更多,但是我從來都不急。
8---I would not buy any stock I would not be happy owning if they stopped trading it for three years. If you can find companies that you will want to be an investor for in five or ten years, you’ll probably do reasonably well.
我會買的股票是哪些使停止交易三年,我還是會很樂意持有的股票。如果你可以找到一個你願意投資五年或十年的企業,你或許也會有不錯的投資率。
9--- The most important quality for an investor is temperament, not intellect. You don’t need tons of IQ in this business. You don’t have to be able to play three-dimensional chess or duplicate bridge. You need a temperament that derives great pleasure neither from being with the crowd nor against the crowd. You know you’re right, not because of the position of others but because your facts and your reasoning are right.
一個投資人最重要的是性情,而不是智力,你在這一行裡不需要有很高的智商,不需要會下三度空間棋,也不需要會打正式橋牌。你的性情必須能夠讓你得到很大的快樂,但那種快樂不是來自於你和人群志同道合或背道而馳。你知道自己是對的,不是因為別人同意你,而是因為你掌握的事實和你的推理過程是正確的。
10---I’d rather have a ten-million-dollar business making 15 percent than a hundred-million-dollar business making 5 percent. I have other places I can put the money.
我寧可選擇一家市值一千萬,獲利百分之十五的公司,也不一要一家市值一億,獲利百分之五的公司。這樣一來我才能把錢投資到別的地方。
