股神巴菲特呼吁在道指9000点左右入市

分析师普遍认为,美股短线虽可能回调,但下半年可望再创高峰,甚至已进入牛市一期。

  股神巴菲特也建议投资者可放心在道指9000点左右入市。

由于能源股反弹以及美联储逐步缩小紧急贷款工具的规模提振了市场,部分抵消了科技公司利空财报的影响,24日纽约股市三大股指涨跌不一。但道琼斯指数最终守住9000点关口,并收于9093.24点,创下半年来的收盘新高。

  微软和亚马逊在23日收盘后公布的财报逊于预期,令投资者大失所望,以科技股为主的纳斯达克指数收盘下跌0.39%,结束了自1990年以来首次连涨12个交易日的势头。

  但由于受到纽约市场主力原油期货合约价格上涨影响,能源股持续走强。同时,美联储主席伯南克在国会表示,美联储正在逐步缩小危机期间紧急贷款工具的规模。投资者据此认为,美国经济最困难的时期已经过去,市场信心增强。使得部分股指继续收涨,其中道琼斯指数收盘上涨23.95点,涨幅0.26%。标普500指数涨0.30%。

  微软和亚马逊利空财报也导致24日欧洲股市跌多涨少。不过,由于欧洲企业界的财报期刚刚开始。高盛集团策略师调升了泛欧道琼斯600指数成分公司经过调整之后的净盈利预期。
 后市预测:全球股指有望再创新高

  道指半年来首次冲破9000点大关,并企稳于250天移动平均线之上,自3月9日今年底位以来,累计升幅接近四成,为1975年以来最急的升势。

  不过分析师普遍认为,美股升势未尽,下半年可望再创新高,甚至已进入牛市一期,股神巴菲特也建议投资者可放心在道指9000点左右入市。

  巴菲特接受CNBC访问时更称,就算经济未见起色,商业活动平淡,亦不代表投资者应远离股市,因为股市往往走在经济之前,如待经济复苏后才购入股票,说不定已错过最大的升浪。他不认为道指9000点有什么值得犹豫,提醒投资者股票长线必定跑赢国债。

  Johnson llling Advissors投资总监Hugh Johnson亦指,美股进入新一轮牛市周期已有4个月时间,短线而言有点超买,至年底时或要调整5%至10%,然后展开另一轮升浪。根据该公司研究,自1890年以来的牛市周期,平均长达38个月,平均升幅亦有130%,故无论在时间或幅度上,现时都只属牛市的开端。

  高盛也表示,预计美国股市在2009年下半年将进入更持久的“持续反弹”阶段。

  而亚太股市走势也非常强劲,中国A股上周涨幅达到5.73%,日本股市已连续九个交易日上涨。深圳某投资机构策略分析师表示,现在整个经济形势比较偏乐观,股市上涨的理由很充分,“虽然从技术上看,各国股市都有回调风险,但短期内如果财报不太难看,主要股指仍能保持高位,甚至再创新高。”

巴菲特入股比亚迪历时10月尘埃落定 购2.25亿股

比亚迪日前发布公告称,巴菲特旗下中美能源已于7月30日完成双方订立的策略投资及认购协议,认购比亚迪2.25亿股新H股。

  去年9月27日,“股神”巴菲特旗下中美能源控股公司 宣布入股比亚迪,MIDAMERICAN将以每股港币8元的价格认购2.25亿股比亚迪股份,交易总金额约为港币18亿元。10个月后,巴菲特入股比亚迪一事终于尘埃落定。

  巴菲特曾多次表示,比亚迪汽车 作为中国汽车业的后起之秀,不仅在研发和生产领域取得长足进步,推出了具有国际水准的燃油汽车,还在新能源汽车尤其是电动汽车的发展上走在了世界前列。

  事实上,比亚迪也一直在以行动证明“股神”的评价。新能源车方面,F3DM双模电动车计划今年9月底开始面向个人销售。6月12日,比亚迪向深圳市政府和香港环境局分别交付了20辆和2辆F3DM双模电动车,标志着我国新能源轿车已步入商业化推广阶段。另外,E6纯电动车也将在年底量产面世。近日,比亚迪以6000万元收购湖南三湘客车,成功将新能源领域的优势延伸至客车领域。

  可以预见,在巴菲特入股资金的推动下,比亚迪汽车将承接上半年销量同比劲增176%的势头,继续扮演中国汽车业的“黑马“角色。

UPDATE 2-NetJets CEO leaves, may affect Buffett succession

NEW YORK, Aug 4 (Reuters) - Richard Santulli, the chairman and chief executive of Berkshire Hathaway Inc's (BRKa.N) (BRKb.N) private jet company NetJets Inc and long considered a possible successor to Warren Buffett, has stepped down, effective immediately.

Santulli, 64, said he is leaving to spend more time with his family and to pursue other interests, and will be a NetJets consultant for at least a year. The Brooklyn, New York, native said he told Buffett of his decision on Tuesday morning.

Buffett appointed David Sokol, the chairman of Berkshire's MidAmerican Energy Holdings unit and also considered a top candidate to run Berkshire, as NetJets' chairman and interim chief executive.

The change may narrow the list of candidates to succeed Buffett at the helm of Berkshire, which he was run since 1965.

Buffett, who turns 79 on August 30, has said Berkshire's board has three possible internal successors to replace him should the need arise, including one who would step in immediately. The candidates have not been named publicly.

Analysts have long said the candidates may also include Sokol, top Berkshire insurance executive Ajit Jain, and Geico Corp Chief Executive Tony Nicely. Sokol is the youngest.

"David has been increasingly appearing as a person who might be a strong horse in the race for CEO," said Thomas Russo, a principal at Gardner, Russo & Gardner in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, which owns Berkshire shares. "This certainly wouldn't be inconsistent with that direction."

NetJets specializes in fractional aircraft ownership, which lets individuals and companies buy shares of private jets rather than full ownership. The Woodbridge, New Jersey-based company has more than 800 aircraft, according to its website.

"It is with reluctance that I accept Richard's decision to step down," Buffett said in a statement. "Richard Santulli is synonymous with the fractional jet ownership industry and his vision and energy has made NetJets the leader that it is today."

Buffett, Santulli, Sokol and their respective companies were not immediately available for further comment.

Berkshire bought NetJets for $725 million in 1998. Buffett uses NetJets aircraft for his own business travel, and has praised Santulli in annual letters to Berkshire shareholders.

"If you were to pick someone to join you in a foxhole, you couldn't do better than Rich," Buffett wrote last year.

Russo said Buffett has long praised Santulli "for having one of the business minds that is most agile, in terms of understanding competitive advantage."

NetJets has not been immune from the recession, though. In the first quarter, NetJets had a $96 million pretax loss, hurt by $55 million of aircraft writedowns, an 80 percent decline in aircraft sales, and fewer flight revenue hours.

"The jet market stinks," Santulli told The New York Times last December.

Berkshire Class A shares closed Tuesday up $310 at $100,310 on the New York Stock Exchange. The company announced the executive changes after U.S. markets closed. (Editing by Andre Grenon and Steve Orlofsky)

With Berkshire Hathaway’s (BRK.A) Q2 results due out later today, there is a whole lot of Buffett bashing going on in the blogosphere. In an article in Seeking Alpha today, Rolfe Winkler says that he feels betrayed by Warren Buffett. Also, Karl Denninger of The Market Ticker, a site that I follow daily, claims in this piece that Buffett is a hypocrite for blasting the bailout while investing in companies that benefited mightily from government assistance. The reason for this criticism? It seems that someone has leaked that BRK is about to announce blowout numbers, a fact that apparently rubs some people the wrong way, given the state of the economy.

Assuming BRK did actually experience a large recovery in book value and a significant positive reversal of the value of its derivative exposure, the question is should we be upset? With 9.5% (as of today, probably more tomorrow) of Americans unemployed and over 16% under-employed, should we begrudge companies and individuals that have seen their fortunes improve since the free fall the US economy experienced in Q4 2008 and Q1 2009? I actually don’t think either of those questions can be answered in generalities. Some people seem to relish criticizing the capitalist machine as a whole, but from my perspective that lumps too many companies in together without considering their roles in facilitating the near collapse of our financial system or the means in which they have been able to regain their thunder.

Specifically, BRK is not Goldman Sachs (GS) and I think it is unfair and foolish to put them in the same basket. As this article in NY Times today reminds us, there are a lot of people who are very unhappy about Goldman’s bonus accrual, high VAR, and proud refusal to change its risky business model that brought the company near collapse (apparently in a classic example of revisionist history, Goldman now disputes this fact even though it had to turn itself into a bank holding company just about overnight so it could have access to Fed funds). Furthermore, GS’s blowout Q2 profits and amazing trading record (on 46 days during Q2 GS made $100M or more in trading!) have made many, including myself, concerned that GS is playing fast and loose with implicit taxpayer support.

While the differences are obvious to people familiar with these companies, I think it is valuable to contrast the factors that helped GS record a great Q2 with those that have buffeted BRK. First, GS received 100 cents on the dollar from AIG to the tune of $13B while Merrill Lynch apparently only got $.17 for its claims against the troubled insurer. GS has also issued $3.4B in debt backed by the FDIC at rates well below those that companies that did not have backing (think CIT and the 13% rate the company is paying on new debt) had to pay. Also, being allowed to convert to a bank holding company gave GS access to the Fed’s discount window without having to comply with regulations that govern such companies for 2 years. In effect, for 2 years GS gets all the benefits of being under the Fed’s too big to fail umbrella without any real detrimental impact on the business model.

On other hand, BRK has benefited mainly from rising markets and slowly improving economic conditions. The absolute free fall the economy was in late 2008 and early 2009 seems to have subsided. So, while BRK’s operating companies that cater to consumers will likely continue to face headwinds, it is logical to conclude that the bounce off the bottom helped many of these companies in Q2. Also, the huge rally in the US equity markets has allowed BRK to recoup a decent chunk of the losses it experienced when the companies it owns big stakes in plummeted in price. According to today’s article from Bloomberg:

The value of shares Berkshire reported holding as of March 31 increased 23 percent in the second quarter. Berkshire is the largest shareholder in American Express Co. (AXP), whose stock rose 71 percent in the three months ending June 30. Buffett’s firm is also the biggest investor in Wells Fargo & Co., which jumped 70 percent, Goldman Sachs Group Inc., which rose 39 percent, and Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corp., up by 22 percent.

Of course you can argue that the government and Fed have taken extreme measures to prop up the economy with little regard for future fiscal obligations. There is no question that the Fed’s actions and the government stimulus have been very beneficial for the stock market as investor confidence has risen dramatically. But BRK is certainly not alone in seeing its holdings increase in value due to the rising tide. I didn’t see a lot of criticism of Bill Miller because his fund was up close to 20% for the year. In other words, while I am cautious on the sustainability of the rally in stocks, it is hard to make the case that BRK is a direct and unique beneficiary of government largesse like GS has obviously been.

Next, I want to respond to some of the criticisms put forth by Winkler and Denninger in their pieces. I understand some of their points for sure, but I also think that some of their concerns are overstated and exaggerated. First, let’s start with Winkler who decided to entitle his article “Buffett’s Betrayal.” This is the crux of his argument:

Today, Buffett remains famous for investing The Right Way. He even has a television cartoon in the works, which will groom the next generation of acolytes.

But it turns out much of the story is fiction. A good chunk of his fortune is dependent on taxpayer largess. Were it not for government bailouts, for which Buffett lobbied hard, many of his company’s stock holdings would have been wiped out.

Really? So, buying American Express after the salad oil scandal and buying Washington Post (WPO) because Buffett thought it had a great moat was not investing the right way? The idea that the events over the past few years and the subsequent investments that were made by Buffett somehow invalidate his previous success is ludicrous. Maybe it is true that he made the General Electric (GE) and GS investments based on some notion that the government would not let them fail. But, if the government had not helped bring the financial system back from the abyss millions of investors around the world would have been wiped out. Very few investors own no stocks of companies that were not materially helped by the emergency actions taken. Anyone who who follows me knows that I am not a fan of a lot of what the government and Fed have done. But to single out Buffett for betraying investors because he decided to invest in GE and GS seems misplaced.

Further, with all due respect Mr. Denninger, I would not call the rates that Buffett received from those deals usurious. The market was in turmoil and these companies needed capital and his support. It was the government that you criticize every day that underpriced the TARP investments. The Oracle only sought a return on his investment that was commensurate with the risk he was taking on. Maybe Buffett used his position and status as an advantage and maybe he understood that the government would not allow the financial system to crumble. But, just like he knew the salad oil scandal was not going to kill AXP, he knew this crisis would not kill best in class companies like GS and GE. Accordingly, I look at this allocation of capital as savvy investing. I wish I had had enough experience to know that at some point the government would literally intervene in the markets. If so, I would not have been on the sidelines for this massive rally. Not that I approve of everything that has been done, but pretending that the government doesn’t care about the direction of the markets is like pretending that there isn’t a pink elephant in the room. Neither is going to do you much good or make you rich.

Additionally, I would like to respond to a criticism that both authors make in their pieces. Here is an example from Denninger’s posting:

Wells Fargo (WFC), a firm that Berkshire has a massive holding in, is a bank with dubious reserves and provisions in its mortgage book. One of many, of course. Yet Warren, Mr. Ethics, has refused to demand that Wells (along with other financial firms he holds) come clean on their loan book valuations, despite overwhelming evidence from seized banks thus far that essentially every bank is and has been overvaluing these so-called "assets".

Berkshire owns a big chunk of Moody's, a stake they recently trimmed. But Moody's is in fact at the heart of the credit storm - it was only through the granting of ratings that we now know were absolutely unsupportable that the credit bubble was able to be blown and maintained in the first place. Worse, Berkshire's other businesses, the core of which are insurance and banking-related firms, were and are absolutely reliant on that ratings business in order to raise capital in the markets.

The argument goes as follows: Buffett owns large stakes in companies that were part of what caused the financial crisis and therefore he is complicit. Considering that before all of this trouble began, just about every large cap mutual fund listed Bank of America (BAC) as one the largest positions, then under this logic just about everyone with a 401K is also blame. Of course BRK owns very large stakes in these companies and could have a lot more say than individual retail investors. But, Buffett’s success over the years has come from a hands-off approach. He has no interest in telling the managers of operating companies or companies in which BRK is an investor how to run their business. This is why people want to sell to BRK and have the company as a major stakeholder. Buffett has made a legendary career off of finding competent managers that don’t need to have their hands held.

Should BRK have sold Wells Fargo and Moody’s (MCO) because of questionable practices? Maybe, if investing was solely a moral game. This is where I think Winkler has it all wrong. Investing the right way does not necessarily mean only giving capital to companies that are spotless. We live in a capitalist world and just like every human is imperfect, there are no perfect companies. Buffett likes the moats and underlying earnings potential of both of these companies and thus continues to hold shares. I also think it worth mentioning that he holds such large stakes that it is very difficult for him to unload shares without moving the market price. While this is not a reason to hold stock in a company that turns out to be morally reprehensible, these potential costs have to be considered by any manager who has to answer to his or her shareholders.

In conclusion, I think that what we have to remember is that first and foremost Buffett is an investor. Yes, he is an iconic man who has done as much for teaching the merits of value investing as anyone who has ever lived. But, as anyone who reads The Snowball by Alice Schroeder finds, he is still just a man who has all the flaws of other men. Just because many in the popular press have portrayed him as an angel who always makes decisions based on the best outcome for society as a whole, does not mean this deification is justified. There is no question that he talks his book on many occasions. I agree that it was hypocritical to suggest that he made some investments with the assumption that Congress would do the “right thing” and then decided to criticize the bailouts as a whole. But ask yourself, how many times have you felt two ways about the government’s actions? How many of us are cheering the stock market rally but feel sick inside about the growing fiscal deficit and potential for inflation down the road? My guess is that there are a lot of us out there who don’t know exactly how to feel. This by no means exonerates Buffett. But my hope is that what it will do is help kill this ridiculous idea that he is somehow different from any other investor whose primary concern is the welfare of his stakeholders. Maybe then we won’t waste so much time attacking the idea of the man.

报业绩为巴菲特正名 逆市“抄底”全是牛股

  事实证明,股神就是股神,绝对不容置疑。

  上周五,股神巴菲特旗下公司??伯克希尔?哈撒韦公司发布了业界期盼已久的季报。其中显示,在盈利连续六个季度下滑、甚至出现了自2001年来的首度季度亏损后,股神的投资旗舰交出了一份靓丽的二季报,当季盈利33亿美元。

  同样是在上周,伯克希尔的股价时隔8个月重新回到了六位数。不到一年前,巴菲特大胆买入高盛、富国银行以及比亚迪等公司股票的时候,大多数人还投以惊诧和怀疑的目光。而几个月后的今天,当大家回过头来看时,才发现股神又一次走在大多数人前面。单单高盛一笔投资,股神目前的账面盈利已超过20亿美元。

  投资高盛狂赚20亿

  现在看来,巴菲特在这轮危机中打得最漂亮一仗,无疑要数对高盛的投资。

  去年金融危机最盛之际,巴菲特旗下的伯克希尔?哈撒韦公司在10月份宣布,投资至少50亿美元购买高盛公司股息为10%的优先股。另外,伯克希尔还得到以每股115美元价格行权的高盛认股权证,涉及金额50亿美元,行权期限为5年,2013年到期。

  上周五收盘,高盛的股价定格在163.65美元。自去年11月创下近50美元的历史新低以来,该股已累计上涨超过200%。该股也是今年以来美国大型银行股中表现最好的一个。

  在接下来4年中,巴菲特随时都可以选择以115美元的价格买进高盛50亿美元的股票。按照上周五的股价计算,股神的账面收益已超过20亿美元,达到22.5亿美元,报酬率高达45%。

  有人说,巴菲特对高盛的投资本身就是一桩加了保险的交易。因为高盛当时有求于巴菲特,所以在设计投资协议时就已经在最大程度上避免巴菲特蒙受损失,最起码,巴菲特每年都将从高盛获得5亿美元的不菲股息。

  巴菲特今年早些时候透露,高盛提供的认股权证是促使他做出投资决定的重要原因。为了投资高盛,伯克希尔公司不得不卖出了部分持股,并放弃了其他的一些投资机会。“如果他们(指高盛)不提供认股权证,我不会做这笔交易。”巴菲特说。

  不过,说是股神慧眼识珠也罢,说是高盛自身实力强劲也罢,高盛在过去这几个月间的表现着实没有辜负巴菲特投上的信任票。高盛上月公布的最新财报显示,该行在第二财季实现净利润34.4亿美元,合每股收益4.93美元,单季收益就超过了该公司在遭受金融危机重创的2008年的全年利润。这还不包括已偿还政府的100亿美元注资,以及付出的14.2亿美元股息。

  高盛能够在危机中快速崛起,很大程度上要归功于其过人的交易实力和“冒险精神”。上周曝光的一份监管文件,第二季度,高盛单日交易收入超过1亿美元的交易日达到创纪录的46天,这也打破了第一季度创下的34天的前纪录。当季,高盛仅有两天出现交易亏损,远低于第一季度的8天。在第二季度一共65个交易日中,高盛有58天都日进5000万美元以上,占比89%。

  巴菲特的另一笔成功投资是富国银行,后者也是股神20年前就开始看好和投资的一只股票。截至今年第一季度末,伯克希尔公司的股票投资组合中,富国银行占比近10%,是第四大重仓股。当季,巴菲特增持富国银行1236万股,持股增加了4.3%。

  尽管富国银行的股价一季度表现糟糕,3月初最低跌破8美元,但此后却持续走高。截至上周五收盘,富国银行的股价报28.76美元。相比3月底,该股累计上涨了一倍还多。

  相比高盛和富国银行,巴菲特的另一笔“抄底”交易是赔是赚现在还没有定论,那就是对通用电气的投资。几乎在投资高盛的同时,股神还在去年10月宣布斥资30亿美元入股通用电气。与对高盛的投资一样,巴菲特出资30亿美元收购了通用电气的永续优先股,通用电气同样为此支付10%的高额股息。与此同时,巴菲特还获得了在未来以每股22.25美元的价格购买通用电气1.35亿股股票(总价值30亿美元)的认股权证,有效期5年。通用电气上周五收报14.70美元。

  “金手指”效应再现H股

  在中国市场,股神虽不是经常涉足,可但凡出手,总能挖到“富矿”。大约两年前,股神带着30多亿美元的盈利结束了自己在中石油H股的投资;而眼下,股神在去年9月介入的另一只H股迄今已带来了10亿美元的账面收益。

  去年9月底,也就是在伯克希尔大肆抄底金融股的旗舰,巴菲特透过一家名为中美能源的附属公司宣布,将以每股8港元的价格购买在香港上市的内地最大充电电池制造商??比亚迪2.25亿股新股,总金额18亿港元,持股比例为10%。

  截至上周五,比亚迪在港股的股价仍在40港元上方,市值约为94亿港元。这意味着巴菲特的这笔投资账面收益已近76亿港元(约10亿美元)。

  纽约对冲基金Aquamarine的主管斯皮尔表示,当巴菲特说到哪家公司值得投资时,大家都得引起重视。斯皮尔一直跟踪研究比亚迪公司,他表示,巴菲特之所以投资比亚迪,是看好该公司的掌舵人??CEO王传福。

  7月30日,比亚迪发布公告称,巴菲特旗下中美能源已完成双方订立的策略投资及认购协议,认购2.25亿股新H股。在该笔交易完成后,中美能源将持有比亚迪经认购股份扩大后的注册资本总额的约9.89%。

  据悉,比亚迪目前是中国第七大汽车制造商,也是国内最大的充电电池制造商。该公司为摩托罗拉、诺基亚、三星和LG等国际手机生产商供货。

  最早发现比亚迪这一潜在投资目标的伯克希尔副主席芒格曾表示,电池技术将是影响未来人类社会最重要的科技前沿领域之一,而比亚迪是这方面最有潜力的小型企业。

  新鸿基证券的香港分析师巴里则表示,比亚迪电动车业务的增长潜力吸引了投资者的关注。他表示,很明显,新能源行业将继续获得中国政府的支持。

  去年在巴菲特宣布入股时,比亚迪CEO王传福就表示,巴菲特的投资将帮助提升公司的国际形象和影响力。去年12月,比亚迪推出了全球首款不依赖专业充电站的新能源汽车??比亚迪F3DM双模电动车。

  王传福3月份表示,通过扩大出口和推出新产品,比亚迪今年计划将汽车销售量翻番,至40万辆。上半年,该公司的汽车销售增加了一倍以上,达到176814辆,主要受到F3车型热卖推动。

  在7月16日的一份声明中,比亚迪披露,公司将向深交所申请A股上市,拟发行不超过1亿股A股。民营背景的比亚迪公司1995年成立于深圳,2002年7月21日,比亚迪在香港主板发行上市。近期有消息称,比亚迪有意收购美的集团旗下三湘客车,比亚迪计划把长沙打造成为继西安、深圳之外的第三产业基地。

  伯克希尔股价重上六位数

  随着股市总体向好,加上公司投资业绩不俗,本月初,巴菲特的旗舰企业伯克希尔公司股价重返10万美元大关,为今年1月以来首次。8月3日收盘,伯克希尔的股价上涨3.1%,报在整整10万美元。该股依然是全球最昂贵的个股。

  上周五收盘,伯克希尔在纽交所挂牌的股价报108100美元,今年年内迄今的涨幅超过11%。今年3月的低谷时期,伯克希尔的股价一度跌至72000美元附近,为近6年来最低点。2007年12月10日,该公司股价曾达到149200美元,创历史新高。

  股神在投资上的过人之处,在上周五伯克希尔公布的靓丽第二季度财报中显现无疑。当日美股收盘后发布的这份报告显示,第二季度,伯克希尔的净利润增长了14%,达到33亿美元,每股收益2123美元。上年同期,该公司收益仅为29亿美元,今年第一财季则亏损15亿美元,为有史以来首度亏损。第二季度,伯克希尔的净资产环比增长11%,达到1188亿美元,约合每股7.3万美元。

  分析人士认为,伯克希尔股价重返高位,主要得益于股市回暖。第二季度,伯克希尔持有的股票资产增值约110亿美元;同时,公司在股市衍生品方面的投资损失也开始逐步逆转。股神在危机之中采取的减持普通股、转投高盛等公司优先股的策略,使得第二季度伯克希尔的投资收益增长了9%,达到18.7亿美元。

  美国加州的一位资深投资顾问迈克尔感叹说,就在6个月前,也就是巴菲特逆市“抄底”之际,大多数投资人都认为世界末日快到了。但现在,大家都开始重新对巴菲特刮目相看,事实证明,巴菲特当时是因为有把握才去买股,而他买入的不少金融股在过去一段时间都表现不俗。

  除了高盛、富国之外,伯克希尔还是美国运通的最大股东,后者的股价在第二季度涨了一倍以上。同期高盛和富国的涨幅分别为55%和80%。巴菲特一直是价值投资的倡导者。他的很多投资在最初往往都不被看好,但随着时间推移,这些股票总会给股神带来巨大的回报。

  事实上,在今年整个上半年,巴菲特的伯克希尔公司股价罕见地跑输了大市。今年上半年,伯克希尔的股价整体下跌6.8%。同期美国标普500指数则涨了1.8%。如果今年全年标普500指数的表现好于伯克希尔的股价,那将打破连续3年来股神跑赢大市的纪录。在危机最盛的2008年,尽管伯克希尔的股价也大跌31.8%,但仍好于标普500指数高达38.5%的下跌。

  不过,从更长的期限看,“奥巴马圣人”的投资业绩仍可圈可点。在截至2008年的3年中,伯克希尔的股价上涨了9.0%,而标普500指数下跌了27.6%。在从1977年到2008年的32年间,伯克希尔的股价有24年都跑赢了美股大盘。其间,巴菲特的平均年收益为28.4%,而标普500指数的回报只有8.3%。

  对伯克希尔而言,现在的一个较大不确定性来自指数衍生品投资。截至第一季度末,伯克希尔公司在指数衍生品投资上的账面亏损为102亿美元。这些产品主要与标普500、富时100、日经225以及欧洲道琼斯斯托克50等指数挂钩。不过,第二季度情况有所改观,随着全球股市全面上涨,伯克希尔第二季度在衍生品方面成功地扭亏为盈,盈利约24亿美元。


巴菲特的“金手指”

  78岁的巴菲特再次向世人展示了他的独到投资眼光。令人佩服的是,巴菲特"金手指"点中的三大投资项目均获利不菲。
  巴菲特的投资旗舰伯克希尔公司上周末发布的财报成为吸引市场眼球的焦点,毕竟,这只纽交所里最贵的股票,其背后的推手正是叱咤风云的"股神"。与分析师预料的一样,得益于当季全球股市的大幅回暖,伯克希尔表现优异,一举结束了连续六个季度的利润下滑,收益同比增长14%。
  在普通股投资上,伯克希尔大举增仓的金融类股表现抢眼。数据显示,已公布二季报的61家美国金融企业当季超预期收益已高达74亿美元,是目前公布业绩的所有行业里表现最好的。尽管此类资产曾在2008年带来巨额账面亏损,但作为此轮股市反弹的领头羊,金融类股无疑成为伯克希尔取得不俗业绩的大功臣。
  另一桩收入来自股权交易。去年10月,当巴菲特选择投资高盛集团,并达成高于当时市价的认股权证交易时,太多人都觉得荒唐,特别是高盛股价曾经一路跌至73.95美元低点时,更有人大呼:巴菲特的金手指失灵了。不过,在高盛股价近来重新站稳在150美元上方时,市场的质疑被轻易击溃。这笔投资目前为伯克希尔带来的账面收益已经超过20亿美元。
  还有一项不得不提,那便是此前饱受诟病的衍生品交易。在全球股指齐升的大势下,以股指为对象的此类衍生品品种一改疲势,令投资者收益颇丰。颇为有趣的是,在2008年以前,巴菲特始终对衍生品工具持有怀疑态度。在2002年给伯克希尔股东的报告中,他这样写道:"我对于衍生工具以及交易的看法很简单:我们将它们视为定时炸弹……我们习惯于对任何的巨大风险保持警觉,这种态度也许使我们对于长期衍生品和约数量上的增长以及无抵押的应收账款规模的增长产生了过度的不安。但在我们看来,衍生品交易是一种破坏力巨大的金融武器--其中的危险,虽然目前看来是潜在的,但却是致命的。"
  不过自金融危机爆发后,巴菲特一改前态,大举参与衍生品交易,并在今年股市跌至最低点的3月公开表示计划更多涉足衍生品交易。"任何我认为有很大机会赚钱的事情,我们都会去做,但并不意味着每次都能赚到。"他如此表态。
  "股神"曾这样告诫投资者:要从最微观的角度发现投资价值,用最简单的方法感悟市场理性,用最平和的心态捕捉盈利机会。尽管不是每次都能理解巴菲特的投资举动,但观察后总结,我们总会从中受益。无论是否认同巴菲特的投资哲学,你不得不承认的是,这个略有些古板的老头,总能将全球市场万千风云变化握于掌中,自然有他的制胜王道。
  《华尔街日报》曾有过这样一段评述:"下一次沃伦?巴菲特警告危机来临时,我们最好洗耳恭听。"且不说危机再来,当下我们该做的,或许便是擦亮眼睛,看看巴菲特的金手指接下来会点在哪里。

Berkshire Hathaway Back in the Black On $1.5 Billion In Derivatives Gains During Second Quarter
Published: Friday, 7 Aug 2009 | 5:28 PM ET
By: Alex Crippen
Executive Producer

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway reports $1.532 billion in after-tax derivatives gains during its second quarter, helping to bring the company's net back into the black.

Most of the "paper" gains for Berkshire's derivatives are the result of rallies by the quartet of stock indexes covered by its "long duration equity index put options contracts."

The contracts are essentially insurance policies against long-term stock market drops. Their current value rises and falls along with the stock indexes they cover, and has to be included in net earnings, according to accounting rules.

Berkshire points out that the mark-to-market accounting produces "extreme volatility in our periodic reported earnings." While Buffett has consistently remained optimistic the contracts will make Berkshire a lot of money years from now, the market hasn't been so sure, and that's helped put pressure on BRK shares, and Buffett's reputation. (It was only a few days ago that Berkshire shares went back above $100,000 for the first time since January.)

This quarter's derivatives gains contributed to an overall net after-tax profit of $3.295 billion dollars for the quarter ($2123 per class A share.) That's up 14.4 percent from $2.880 billion in the second quarter of 2008.

It's also a return to profitability for Berkshire, after it reported a net loss of $1.5 billion in this year's first quarter.


In its second quarter news release, Berkshire says its book value (assets minus liabilities) increased 11.4 percent over three months to reach $73,806 per share at the end of the quarter on June 30. That works out to a total of $114.5 billion, an increase of $11.7 billion dollars since March 31. Book value had fallen in each of the two previous quarters.

Buffett puts an emphasis on book value in Berkshire's annual reports, saying its the best way to estimate the company's "intrinsic value."

Operating earnings came in at $1,147 per share, down 21.7 percent from last year's second quarter, and below the average forecast of $1,238 from the handful of analysts who cover the stock.

Profits from Berkshire's non-insurance businesses, many of which depend on consumer spending, fell by 47 percent to $574 million. Buffett has said in recent months that he's seeing no signs of an economic rebound, based on constantly updated data coming to him from Berkshire's consumer-oriented companies.

Current Berkshire stock prices:

Class A: [BRK.A 108100.00 1150.00 (+1.08%) ]

Class B: [BRK.B 3540.00 22.6899 (+0.65%) ]

呵呵,ICE上面转贴的一幕,在我看来只是时间问题。

仅仅在本论坛,可以翻翻去年10月份,在世界金融危机肆虐之盛时,但巴菲特宣布斥巨资入市时,多少被跌势吓坏、但似乎终于“反思懂”懂了的"好心人"疾呼“股神这次倒掉的概率99%“,“热心”地向世界宣告:金融危机才“刚刚”开始,躲过的人才有“春天”。不知这些人有何自知之明,有过何金融市场上的经验,都敢对历经50多年风雨的投资人大放厥词。

其实很简单,如果始终学不会如何在危机时投资这一课,那最好不要在股市上玩。


最可笑的是,有人连巴菲特买的是优先股都不知道,就大肆宣传巴菲特套牢了!

呵呵,老巴买的可转换优先股,如果股市继续走熊就是债券,如果走牛就是(普通)股票。老巴牛啊!在熊市后期有钱就是爷。利率10%的可转股债券,包赚不赔的生意,还有人还说老巴被套了。 [此帖子已被 掷铜板的人 在 2009-8-10 12:16:37 编辑过]
