巴菲特致股东的信(2021年)①概述


To the Shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.:

致伯克希尔·哈撒韦公司所有股东:

Charlie Munger, my long-time partner, and I have the job of managing a portion of your savings. We are honored by your trust.

我的长期合伙人查理·芒格 (Charlie Munger) 和我,承担着管理你们一部分积蓄的职责。能获得你们的信任,我们深感荣幸。

Our position carries with it the responsibility to report to you what we would like to know if we were the absentee owner and you were the manager. We enjoy communicating directly with you through this annual letter, and through the annual meeting as well.

这份职责要求我们向你们汇报——如果我们是不在场的股东,而你们是管理者,我们会希望了解什么,我们就向你们汇报什么。我们很享受通过这封年度信以及年度股东大会与你们直接交流。

Our policy is to treat all shareholders equally. Therefore, we do not hold discussions with analysts nor large institutions. Whenever possible, also, we release important communications on Saturday mornings in order to maximize the time for shareholders and the media to absorb the news before markets open on Monday.

我们的原则是平等对待所有股东。因此,我们不会单独与证券分析师或大型机构进行讨论。在条件允许的情况下,我们还会选择在周六早上发布重要信息,以便股东和媒体在周一开盘前有充足的时间消化这些消息。

A wealth of Berkshire facts and figures are set forth in the annual 10-K that the company regularly files with the S.E.C. and that we reproduce on pages K-1 – K-119. Some shareholders will find this detail engrossing; others will simply prefer to learn what Charlie and I believe is new or interesting at Berkshire.

伯克希尔的详细财务数据和经营资料,都列示在公司按惯例向美国证券交易委员会 (S.E.C.) 提交的年度10-K文件中,我们在K-1至K-119页重新刊印了这些内容。有些股东可能会对这些细节数据津津有味;另一些股东则可能只想了解查理和我认为伯克希尔有什么新鲜有趣的事。

Alas, there was little action of that sort in 2021. We did, though, make reasonable progress in increasing the intrinsic value of your shares. That task has been my primary duty for 57 years. And it will continue to be.

可惜啊,2021年这样新鲜有趣的事实在不多。不过,我们在提升你们股份的内在价值方面确实取得了合理的进展。这项工作是我57年来的首要职责,未来也将继续如此。
