ABOUT这本书

格雷厄姆1949年写给普通人的书,1973年出第四版,巴菲特十九岁读到它,后来去哥伦比亚大学做了他的学生。藏书阁这本是2003年茨威格评注版,每章后面跟一章评注,把安然、网络股泡沫这些1972年之后的例子补进去,厚到640页。全书的脊梁是两个比喻:第八章的「市场先生」,一个每天上门报价、情绪不稳定的合伙人,你可以跟他做买卖,但别让他替你判断;第二十章的「安全边际」,用买入价和内在价值之间的差额去吸收错误和坏运气。第一章开头那条投资的定义,从1934年《证券分析》起用了38年没改。

Graham wrote this for ordinary readers in 1949 and revised it through 1973; Buffett read it at nineteen and later became his student at Columbia. Our copy is the 2003 Jason Zweig edition, each chapter followed by a commentary that brings in Enron and the dot-com bust, running to 640 pages. Two images carry the book: Chapter 8's Mr. Market, an obliging, moody partner who quotes you a price every day and whom you may trade with but never obey, and Chapter 20's margin of safety, the gap between price and value that absorbs error and bad luck. The definition of investment on page 18 dates from Security Analysis in 1934 and went unchanged for 38 years.

POINTS要点

  1. 投资和投机的分界是分析、本金安全、足够回报三件事,缺一条就是投机。Investment needs three things: analysis, safety of principal, adequate return. Miss one and it is speculation.
  2. 市场先生每天报价,你可以跟他成交,别让他替你判断价值。Mr. Market quotes a price every day. Trade with him if you like; never let him set your view of value.
  3. 价格大跌是买的机会,大涨是卖的机会,其余时间去看公司经营。A sharp fall is a chance to buy, a big rise a chance to sell; the rest of the time, watch the business.
  4. 安全边际等于股票盈利率减债券利率,1972年是负的,2026年再算一次。Margin of safety is earnings yield minus bond yield. It went negative in 1972. Run it again for 2026.

EXCERPTS原文摘句 · 5 条

投资操作,是经过彻底分析之后,能保证本金安全并带来足够回报的操作。不满足这两个条件的操作,都是投机。
An investment operation is one which, upon thorough analysis promises safety of principal and an adequate return. Operations not meeting these requirements are speculative.

1934年写下,38年没改一个字的定义
设想你在一家私人企业里有一小份股份,花了1000美元。你有个合伙人叫市场先生,人非常热心。他每天都告诉你他觉得你这份股份值多少,还照这个价,要么买下你的份,要么再卖你一份。
Imagine that in some private business you own a small share that cost you $1,000. One of your partners, named Mr. Market, is very obliging indeed. Every day he tells you what he thinks your interest is worth and furthermore offers either to buy you out or to sell you an additional interest on that basis.

市场先生登场的原句,比所有转述都平实
对真正的投资者来说,价格波动只有一个要紧的意义:价格大跌时给他机会聪明地买,大涨时给他机会聪明地卖。其余时间,他最好忘掉股市,去看他的股息和公司的经营结果。
Basically, price fluctuations have only one significant meaning for the true investor. They provide him with an opportunity to buy wisely when prices fall sharply and to sell wisely when they advance a great deal. At other times he will do better if he forgets about the stock market and pays attention to his dividend returns and to the operating results of his companies.

把波动从「风险」改写成「机会」的那一句
安全边际的功能,说到根上,是让你不需要精确预测未来。
Here the function of the margin of safety is, in essence, that of rendering unnecessary an accurate estimate of the future.

全书最短的一句核心,做利率的人读着最亲
写1965年版的时候,典型的股票卖11倍市盈率,盈利率大约9%,债券4%,安全边际超过100%。现在(1972年)股票的盈利率和利率没有差别了,我说没有安全边际……
At the time the 1965 edition of The Intelligent Investor was written the typical stock was selling at 11 times earnings, giving about 9% return as against 4% on bonds. In that case you had a margin of safety of over 100 per cent. Now [in 1972] there is no difference between the earnings rate on stocks and the interest rate on stocks, and I say there is no margin of safety […]

1972年的演讲,套到2026年的5%美债上一字不用改

GODZILLA哥斯拉怎么读

从东京的利率台子上看

做利率的人读这本书,最有用的是第二十章那道小学算术:股票盈利率减债券利率,差多少就是安全边际。1965年是9%减4%,格雷厄姆说边际超过100%;1972年两边持平,他直说是负的。2026年这个秋天美债10Y在5%附近,标普盈利率四点几,AI资本开支顶着估值,这道减法又是负数,做债的人看着有点想笑。第八章市场先生,做利率的人读来最扎心,台子上每天在屏幕上给JGB报价的人,情绪不比他稳定,日银每次转向前台子上喊「不会动」的人永远最多,市场先生的情绪就是这么写进JGB报价的。过时的部分:债券配置比例、铁路公司的利息保障倍数,今天用不上,跳过。茨威格2003年的评注假设你没见过泡沫,我们都见过了。

For a rates trader the chapter that pays is Chapter 20 and its schoolbook arithmetic: stock earnings yield minus bond yield equals your margin of safety. In 1965 that was 9% against 4%; by 1972 the two had met and Graham called it negative. This autumn US 10-year yields sit near 5%, the S&P earns four and change, and AI capex props up the multiple. The subtraction is negative again, darkly funny for a bond trader. Chapter 8 stings for a rates trader: desks quote JGB prices all day with moods no steadier than his, and before every BoJ turn the desk's loudest voices say nothing will move. His mood is written into JGB prices. Skip the railroad coverage tests. Zweig's 2003 commentary assumes you have never seen a bubble.

FOR适合谁

第一次认真买股票的人先读第一、八、二十章,其余按需要翻。已经做了几年的人重读第八章评注那段互联网泡沫账。想找选股公式的人这里只有一半,另一半在《证券分析》。

First-time stock buyers: read Chapters 1, 8 and 20, dip into the rest. Practitioners of a few years: reread the Chapter 8 commentary on the dot-com bust. Stock-picking formulas are only half here; the rest is in Security Analysis.
