事實證明,巴菲特對GEICO股票的投資是正確的選擇,巴菲特也沒有讓相信自己的客戶失望。在不到兩年的時間內,GEICO的股票價格就漲了兩倍多。1952年,巴菲特將GEICO的股票賣出,賺了5000多美元,而那些聽從了他的建議、購買了GEICO股票的顧客也都賺了一筆可觀的利潤。

巴菲特名言

投資的關鍵不是評估一個行業能夠在多大程度上影響社會,以及它的優勢增長速度有多快,而是考察特定企業的競爭優勢,尤其是這種優勢能否持久——具有持久優勢的產品和服務才能給投資人帶來回報。

在做出投資決定之前,我閉上眼睛,展望該公司10年以後的情形。

譯文

當年我們花了3.152億美元買下了賬麵價值為1.726億美元的史考特·飛茲,其中超過的溢價為1.426億美元,這從某種程度上說這家公司的實際價值是其賬麵價值的兩倍。

在並購交易完成的一年中,史考特·飛茲公司賬麵上並沒有多餘的現金,雖然該公司1986年的利潤隻有4030美元,但卻能夠支付伯克希爾1.25億美元的股利,還有一點不得不強調,在史考特·飛茲我們並沒有使用任何金融杠杆,事實上,該公司在年初收購之初的負債水平就相當有限,接下來的一段時期甚至還將所有債務還清(除了金融子公司的借款),同時我們沒有將工廠賣掉再租回來或者將應收賬款出售等之類的舉動,在我們持有的這些年裏,史考特·飛茲以保守的金融杠杆經營且維持著很高的流動性。
