衍生物极少能被投资者很好地理解,
而且,投资者有可能陷入因过度借贷投机而招致的危险。
当你借债中夹杂着物质的成分时,
结局可能会变得很“有趣”。
Derivatives are seldom well understood byinvestors and they tend to involve heavy leverage.
When you combine ignoranceand borrowed money,
the consequences can get interesting.

格雷厄姆倡导的并非卓越投资,他也不是一时的风云人物。
他所倡导的是稳健投资,我认为,
只要不是过于急于求成,稳健投资能使你非常富有。
而且,更妙的是它不会使你贫穷。
Graham wasn't about brilliant investmentsand he wasn't about fads or fashion. He was about sound investing, and I thinksound investing can make you very wealthy if you're not in too big of a hurry.
And it never makes you poor, which is better.

《华盛顿邮报》的记者鲍勃·伍德沃德问我如何分析股票。
“投资就是写报道。”我告诉他。
设想他自己被指派写一份关于他自家报纸详尽深入的报道,
他就会问许多问题,并发掘出许多事实材料,
这样他会因此了解《华盛顿邮报》。
投资也是如此。
Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward onceasked me how I analyzed stocks.
“Investing is reporting.”I told him to imaginehe had been assigned an in-depth article about his own paper.
He'd ask a lot ofquestions and dig up a lot of facts.
He'd know The Washington Post.
And that'sall there is to it.

不要把你拥有的股票的业绩太往心里去。
毕竟股票并不知道你拥有它。
Don't take the performance of your stockspersonally.
After all, a stock doesn't know you own it.

架设桥梁时,你坚持载重量为3万磅,
但你只准许1万磅的卡车穿梭其间。
相同的原则也适用于投资领域。
When you build a bridge,
you insist it cancarry 30,000 pounds,
butyou only drive 10,000-pound trucks across it.
And that same principle works in investing.
