下午好,Warren,Charlie。

Good afternoon, Warren and Charlie.

恭喜你们走过了五十年。

Congrats on 50 years.

我叫 Jim,来自纽约 Brooklyn。

My name is Jim, and I'm from Brooklyn, New York.

这个问题算是接着刚才一个问题来的。

This is kind of a follow-on to a recent question.

你们两位在 Berkshire Hathaway 之前,作为投资人和基金管理人,就都已经取得了成功。

You both had success in investing even before Berkshire Hathaway, as investors and as fund managers.

大家都知道,你们非常认真地遵循 Graham 的教导,不过像 Walter Schloss 和他的儿子这样的人,也用类似的理念、但不同的策略取得了成功。

While it's well known you closely followed Graham's teachings, others like Walter Schloss and his son also had success with similar teachings yet different strategies.

你们觉得,当年在资金规模还很小的时候,取得早期成功最重要的原因是什么?

What would you cite as the most important reason for your early success with small amounts of capital?

另外,如果以今天回头来看,你们觉得当时用这些小规模资金投资时,本来可以怎么改进自己的策略?

And given hindsight today, what might you have done to improve your strategy with these small funds?

嗯,我有一位很棒的老师,我的专注力非常强,而且我也具备那种很适合做投资人的情绪特质。

Yeah, well, I had a great teacher, I had exceptional focus, and I had the right sort of, uh, emotional qualities that would help me in being an investor.

我很享受这个游戏。

I enjoyed the game.

我的意思是,这件事吧,难度刚好够让人觉得有意思,但又没有难到超出人们理解能力的地步。

I mean, it's just about, you know, hard enough to be interesting, but not so hard as to be beyond the capabilities of people understanding it.

这个游戏大概就是这样。

And that's kind of the way this game is.

我的意思是,它不像 Henry Singleton 当年处理的那类问题。

I mean, it's not like Henry Singleton kind of questions he took on.

这其实是个挺容易的游戏,不过它确实需要一定的情绪稳定性。

It's actually a pretty easy game, and it does require a certain emotional stability.

而且我是全力以赴去做的。

And I went at it hammer and tong.

我把那些手册之类的都翻了一遍,不过我在做的时候本身就很享受。

I went through the manuals and everything, but I was enjoying it when I did it.

就像我说的,我从七岁到大概十九岁,一直都是这样开始摸索的。

And like I say, I started out between age 7 and about 19.

那时候我也有同样的热情,但我其实并没有什么指导原则。

I had that same enthusiasm, but I didn't really have any guiding principle.

后来我碰到了 The Intelligent Investor 和 Ben Graham,从那一刻起,我终于能把自己所有的精力,还有那股热情,都用到一个真正讲得通、完全讲得通,而且我发现自己也能实际运用的哲学体系上。

And then I ran into The Intelligent Investor and Ben Graham, and then at that point, I was able to take all this energy and everything, enthusiasm for it, and now I had a philosophy that made a lot of sense, total sense, and I found that I could employ.

所以这个游戏就变得更有意思了,不过事情其实也没有比这更复杂。

And so the game became even more fun, but it wasn't really more complicated than that.

嗯,我没什么要补充的。

Well, I don't have anything to add.

不过我确实认为,如果一个人有适合做这件事的性格,而且因为喜欢、因为有兴趣而一直坚持下去,那这就是个容易的游戏。

I do think that it's an easy game if somebody has the temperament for it and keeps at it because he likes it and is interested in it.

我有个问题,是 Warren 比较少有的。

I have a problem that Warren has less of.

我不太愿意给那些想靠精明、靠买入然后被动持有证券来发财的人,树立太多榜样。

I don't like being too much of an example to people who want to get rich by being shrewd and buying and passively holding securities.

我觉得那样的人生,真的不太够。

I don't think that's enough of a life, really.

如果你靠比别人更精明、靠买一张张小纸片,就从生活里攫取了一大笔财富,我不觉得这和你拿走的东西相比,算是足够的回报或贡献。

If you wrest a fortune from life by being shrewder than other people and buying little pieces of paper, I don't think that's an adequate contribution in exchange for what you're taking.

所以,如果你是在替 endowment、pension fund,或者你的亲戚之类的人投资,我会更喜欢这样。

So, so I like it when you're investing money for an endowment or a pension fund or your relatives or something.

但我从来不觉得,仅仅靠精明地选股票,然后被动持有,就已经足够构成完整的一生。

But I never considered it enough of a life to merely be shrewd in picking stocks and passively holding them.

对,经营 Berkshire 可比经营——至少对我来说——Buffett Partnership,或者单纯经营一个投资基金,要有趣得多得多。

Yeah, running Berkshire has been far, far more fun than running, in my case, Buffett Partnership, or just an investment fund.

我的意思是,那——。

I mean, that—.

M33:32

要是你去经营那种合伙基金,你这个人反而会变得没那么像个真正的男子汉。

You'd be less of a man if you ran that partnership.
M2
M23:35

那会是一种非常疯狂的人生过法。

It'd be a crazy way to go through life.
M3
M33:36

对。

Yeah.
M2
M23:37

我是说,真的,你知道,Berkshire带来的满足感要高得多。

I mean, it's just, you know, Berkshire is incredibly more satisfying.

M33:44

所以,如果你只是擅长拿自己的钱做投资,我希望你最后能慢慢转变,去做点更有意义的事。

So if you're good at just investing your own money, I hope you'll morph into doing something more.

好,我们来做第八题,然后——然后我们就进入年度股东大会。

Okay, we'll do 8, and then that'll— then we'll move on to the annual meeting.
