巴菲特致股东的信原文精读Day436:
原文:Going in, he planned to argue that stocks would perform better than bonds during inflationary periods and that bonds would deliver superior returns during deflationary times. That seemed sensible enough. But Smith was in for a shock.
His book began, therefore, with a confession: “These studies are the record of a failure – the failure of facts to sustain a preconceived theory.” Luckily for investors, that failure led Smith to think more deeply about how stocks should be evaluated.(2019)
释义:1.“inflationary”意为“通胀的”;“deflationary”意为“通缩的”;
2.“confession”意为“(对使自己羞愧或尴尬的事的)坦白”;
3.“sustain”意为“支持”;“preconceived”意为“预想的”。
精译:一开始,史密斯计划提出以下观点:在通胀时期,股票的表现将优于债券;在通缩时期,债券将带来更高的回报。这似乎很合理。但随着研究的深入,史密斯大受震动。
因此,史密斯的书以一句自白开篇:“这些研究是失败的记录,我们的研究事实无法支持先入为主的理论。”幸运的是,对投资者来说,这一失败促使史密斯更深入地思考如何评估股票的价值。(2019年)
心得:史密斯心中固有的观点是,通胀时股票优于债券,通缩时债券优于股票。围绕这一论点,史密斯开始收集各种各样的论据。然而,史密斯经过研究发现,大量的事实并不支持他原来设想的观点。这究竟是怎么一回事呢?且听下回分解。
