在今年的投資者大會(huì)上，巴菲特說(shuō)了這9大金句

沃倫確實(shí)有著過(guò)人的口才。

88歲的沃倫·巴菲特在周末開(kāi)玩笑說(shuō)，如果他參加如今的SAT考試，得分會(huì)“令人尷尬”。如果要說(shuō)有什么能力并未隨著他的年齡而消失的話，那就是他總能留下令人難忘的話語(yǔ)。他能夠把復(fù)雜的金融話題提煉為容易理解的至理名言，也能以其平易近人的方式對(duì)未來(lái)進(jìn)行廣泛評(píng)論。在今年伯克希爾哈撒韋著名的年度股東大會(huì)上，他再次用其口才取悅了與會(huì)人士。以下是他的9大金句：

關(guān)于資本主義的未來(lái)

巴菲特對(duì)人群說(shuō)：“我是一名持有資本主義會(huì)員證的資本家。因此不用擔(dān)心我會(huì)在這方面變卦。我還認(rèn)為資本主義確實(shí)與法規(guī)有關(guān)，涉及照顧那些被落在后面的群體。”他說(shuō)：“我覺(jué)得美國(guó)不會(huì)在2020、2040或2060年變?yōu)樯鐣?huì)主義國(guó)家。”

關(guān)于年齡

巴菲特說(shuō)：“不管你用什么標(biāo)準(zhǔn)來(lái)衡量，我都在走下坡路。”他還開(kāi)玩笑說(shuō)，如果自己參加如今的SAT考試，得分會(huì)“令人尷尬”。

關(guān)于埃隆·馬斯克和特斯拉在未來(lái)進(jìn)軍保險(xiǎn)行業(yè)

“汽車(chē)公司在保險(xiǎn)領(lǐng)域獲得成功的概率可能跟保險(xiǎn)公司在汽車(chē)行業(yè)獲得成功的概率差不多。”

關(guān)于提姆·斯洛安

巴菲特對(duì)富國(guó)銀行前任首席執(zhí)行官表示同情。他說(shuō)，這位高管被人們當(dāng)成了“出氣筒”。

關(guān)于谷歌

他在談到早些時(shí)候錯(cuò)過(guò)購(gòu)買(mǎi)谷歌的機(jī)會(huì)時(shí)說(shuō)：“我們當(dāng)時(shí)只是坐在那啃大拇指。”

關(guān)于法規(guī)

“法規(guī)通常會(huì)讓人感到厭惡，但我們不愿意看到一大群騙子在保險(xiǎn)行業(yè)招搖撞騙。”

關(guān)于成為備受青睞的交易投資者

巴菲特說(shuō)：“如果有人為了做交易想找到靠譜的投資者，他們都知道可以在周五下午給我打電話，然后約在周六見(jiàn)面，周日就能搞定。”

關(guān)于政治

“我在伯克希爾的職責(zé)并非是進(jìn)一步培養(yǎng)自己的政治信念。”

關(guān)于巴菲特和芒格離開(kāi)伯克希爾之后的公司未來(lái)

“沒(méi)有終身年金這回事。”

口氣確實(shí)很像一位真正的圣人。（財(cái)富中文網(wǎng)）

Warren sure has a way with words.

Though 88-year old Warren Buffett joked over the weekend that if he were to take the SAT today his scores would be “embarrassing,” one thing that certainly has not diminished with age is his ability to nail a memorable quote. Whether distilling complicated financial topics into understandable nuggets of wisdom, or broadly commenting on the future in his folksy way, he once again delighted attendees at Berkshire Hathaway’s famous annual meeting. Here were 9 of his best quotes.

On the future of capitalism

“I’m a card-carrying capitalist,” Buffett told the crowd. “You don’t have to worry about me changing in that matter. I also think capitalism does involve regulation. It involves taking care of people who are left behind.” “I don’t think the country will go into socialism in 2020 or 2040 or 2060,” he said.

On aging

“By any yardstick you use I’m going downhill,” said Buffett. He also joked that if he were to take the SAT today his scores would be “embarrassing.”

On Elon Musk and Tesla entering the insurance business one day

“The success of the auto companies getting into the insurance business is probably as likely as the success of the insurance companies getting into the auto business,”

On Tim Sloan

Buffett defended Wells Fargo’s ex-chief, commenting that he had been treated like a “pi?ata.”

On Google

“We just sat there sucking our thumbs,” he said of passing up the chance to buy Google earlier.

On regulation

“Regulation can be a pain in the neck generally, but we don’t want a lot of charlatans operating in insurance.”

On being a go-to financier for deals

“If somebody wants a lot of certain money for a deal, they’ve seen that I can get a call on Friday afternoon, and they make a date with me on Saturday, and on Sunday it’s done,” said Buffett.

On politics

“My position at Berkshire is not to further my political beliefs.”

On Berkshire’s future after Buffett and Munger are no longer around to run it

“There are no perpetuities.”

Spoken like a true Oracle indeed.
