沃伦确实有着过人的口才。

88岁的沃伦·巴菲特在周末开玩笑说,如果他参加如今的SAT考试,得分会“令人尴尬”。如果要说有什么能力并未随着他的年龄而消失的话,那就是他总能留下令人难忘的话语。他能够把复杂的金融话题提炼为容易理解的至理名言,也能以其平易近人的方式对未来进行广泛评论。在今年伯克希尔哈撒韦著名的年度股东大会上,他再次用其口才取悦了与会人士。以下是他的9大金句:

关于资本主义的未来

巴菲特对人群说:“我是一名持有资本主义会员证的资本家。因此不用担心我会在这方面变卦。我还认为资本主义确实与法规有关,涉及照顾那些被落在后面的群体。”他说:“我觉得美国不会在2020、2040或2060年变为社会主义国家。”

关于年龄

巴菲特说:“不管你用什么标准来衡量,我都在走下坡路。”他还开玩笑说,如果自己参加如今的SAT考试,得分会“令人尴尬”。

关于埃隆·马斯克和特斯拉在未来进军保险行业

“汽车公司在保险领域获得成功的概率可能跟保险公司在汽车行业获得成功的概率差不多。”

关于提姆·斯洛安

巴菲特对富国银行前任首席执行官表示同情。他说,这位高管被人们当成了“出气筒”。

关于谷歌

他在谈到早些时候错过购买谷歌的机会时说:“我们当时只是坐在那啃大拇指。”

关于法规

“法规通常会让人感到厌恶,但我们不愿意看到一大群骗子在保险行业招摇撞骗。”

关于成为备受青睐的交易投资者

巴菲特说:“如果有人为了做交易想找到靠谱的投资者,他们都知道可以在周五下午给我打电话,然后约在周六见面,周日就能搞定。”

关于政治

“我在伯克希尔的职责并非是进一步培养自己的政治信念。”

关于巴菲特和芒格离开伯克希尔之后的公司未来

“没有终身年金这回事。”

口气确实很像一位真正的圣人。(财富中文网)

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 “piñata.”

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.
