2010年，芒格的演讲 ART OF STOCK PICKING

Here again, look at the pari-mutuel system. I had dinner last night by absolute accident with the president of Santa Anita. He says that there are two or three betters who have a credit arrangement with them, now that they have off-track betting, who are actually beating the house. They're sending money out net after the full handle a lot of it to Las Vegas, by the way to people who are actually winning slightly, net, after paying the full handle. They're that shrewd about something with as much unpredictability as horse racing.

And the one thing that all those winning betters in the whole history of people who've beaten the pari-mutuel system have is quite simple. They bet very seldom.

It's not given to human beings to have such talent that they can just know everything about everything all the time. But it is given to human beings who work hard at it who look and sift the world for a mispriced be that they can occasionally find one. And the wise ones bet heavily when the world offers them that opportunity. They bet big when they have the odds. And the rest of the time, they don't. It's just that simple.

That is a very simple concept. And to me it's obviously right based on experience not only from the pari-mutuel system, but everywhere else. And yet, in investment management, practically nobody operates that way. We operate that way I'm talking about Buffett and Munger. And we're not alone in the world. But a huge majority of people have some other crazy construct in their heads And instead of waiting for a near cinch and loading up, they apparently ascribe to the theory that if they work a little harder or hire more business school students, they'll come to know everything about everything all the time. To me, that's totally insane. The way to win is to work, work, work, work and hope to have a few insights.

How many insights do you need? Well, I'd argue: that you don't need many in a lifetime. If you look at Berkshire Hathaway and all of its accumulated billions, the top ten insights account for most of it. And that's with a very brilliant man Warren's a lot more able than I am and very disciplined devoting his lifetime to it. I don't mean to say that he's only had ten insights. I'm just saying, that most of the money came from ten insights.

So you can get very remarkable investment results if you think more like a winning pari-mutuel player. Just think of it as a heavy odds against game full of craziness with an occasional mispriced something or other. And you're probably not going to be smart enough to find thousands in a lifetime. And when you get a few, you really load up. It's just that simple.

 

They bet big when they have the odds. And the rest of the time, they don't. It's just that simple.

“在投资的世界里，一次大机会的成果远超过千百次的小折腾。同样的时代大家其实面临的机会都差不多，区别只在于把握度。真正的大机会，把握住一次足以改变境遇；把握住两次将开启全新的人生；把握住三次整个家族都会不同。从a股历史规律来看，其实每3-5年都大概率的会碰到一次好机会，然而大多数人早已在各种小折腾中荒废了。“ -  水晶苍蝇拍

2011年，老巴印度之行的谈话

“If you look at the typical stock on the New York Stock Exchange, its high will be, perhaps, for the last 12 months will be 150 percent of its low so they’re bobbing all over the place. All you have to do is sit there and wait until something is really attractive that you understand.”

“There’s almost nothing where the game is stacked more in your favor like the stock market”

“What happens is people start listening to everybody talk on television or whatever it may be or read the paper, and they take what is a fundamental advantage and turn it into a disadvantage. There’s no easier game than stocks. You have to be sure you don’t play it too often”

 

“投资要想成功需要承认两个前提：第一，我们都是凡人，我们必将不断犯错；第二，投资的核心原理早已稳定，我们要做的不是创新，而是理解并执行。投资要想惨败可以建立在另外两个前提上：第一，我天赋异禀，我能做到别人做不到的；第二，我拥有或者发现了最新的炒股奥义，我在投资理论上已经帮人类跨出了新的一步。” -  水晶苍蝇拍

我们要做的不是创新，而是理解并执行老巴的成功投资经验。

我在DRG-UN的投资中使用了芒格和老巴的成功投资经验，并取得了成功，现在我正在重复使用相同的投资思想投资REI-UN，我要重复以前的成功。

 

我要反反复复的使用老巴芒格的成功投资经验，反反复复的取得投资成功。
