We continue to do little in equities. Charlie and I are increasingly comfortable with our holdings in Berkshire’s major investees because most of them have increased their earnings while their valuations have decreased. But we are not inclined to add to them. Though these enterprises have good prospects, we don’t yet believe their shares are undervalued.
在股票投资方面,我们依旧没有什么动作,查理跟我对于Berkshire目前主要的持股部位越来越感到满意,一方面由于被投资公司的盈余逐渐增加,同时间其股价反而下滑,不过现在我们还是无意增加持股部位,虽然这些公司的前景都相当不错,但截至目前为止,我们还是不认为他们的股价有受到低估的可能。
In our view, the same conclusion fits stocks generally. Despite three years of falling prices, which have significantly improved the attractiveness of common stocks, we still find very few that even mildly interest us. That dismal fact is testimony to the insanity of valuations reached during The Great Bubble. Unfortunately, the hangover may prove to be proportional to the binge.
