mso-hansi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'"&gt;身為一個台灣投資人，何其有幸生在一個中國經驗崛起的年代，在這個崛起過程中，每隔幾年就會誕生幾檔漲幅數十倍的股票。當中國內需大爆發，未來十年，兩岸品牌企業將擔任要角。投資大師彼得林區（&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span

mso-hansi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'"&gt;若回顧當時的美國經濟背景，彼得林區的遺憾很可能再度發生在兩岸三地許多股市投資人的身上。因為，當今中國所出現的經濟結構轉型、人民幣升值、消費人口增加等問題或現象，在&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;90&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 新細明體; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'"&gt;年代也曾發生在美國的身上。換句話說，從長線的觀點來看，中國正在走美國曾走過的路，以食衣住行為主的內需消費股，有些投資標的目前的股價很可能才剛進入「主升段」。統一大中華中小基金經理人陳朝政指出，高儲蓄率是內需起飛的必要條件之一，過去亞洲四小龍的台灣或韓國在經濟邁入高度成長期時，包含居民、企業及政府在內的儲蓄率都曾高達&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;38&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 新細明體; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'"&gt;％～&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;40&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 新細明體; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'"&gt;％。如今，中國的儲蓄率有近&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;50&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 新細明體; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'"&gt;％的水準，此一龐大的資金動能一但轉化為消費力，將相當驚人。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 新細明體; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'"&gt;瑞銀大中華股票基金經理人及董事總經理施斌表示，中國經濟結構的變化會帶來許多的投資機會，投資人只要掌握住強勁的中國內需增長趨勢，從裡面找到好的公司並長期持有，一定會有不錯的收穫。施斌建議，投資人可從&lt;b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal"&gt;&lt;span style="COLOR: #ff6600"&gt;滲透率仍低&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;的消費產業（如咖啡、化妝品、運動鞋等）下手，因為這些產業在未來五年內，產值可能每年可輕易成長&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;20&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 新細明體; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'"&gt;％。新光投信兩岸優勢基金經理人李瑞表示，毫無疑問，中國已步入消費的黃金十年，但當下要斷言一線品牌廠商的長期策略是否走在對的方向，並不容易，因此還是要持續觀察市場的變化，看品牌廠商的行銷、產品策略是否調整得宜。就他的觀察，現階段，白酒、紅酒、體育用品、流行服飾等產業的一線廠商，長線較具投資吸引力。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 新細明體; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'"&gt;特別值得一提的是，在這場聚集全球一流的品牌的世界大戰中，無論是中國或台灣的企業都沒有「漏氣」（台語），包括還未掛牌的兩岸咖啡、&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;85&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 新細明體; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'"&gt;度&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;C&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 新細明體; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'"&gt;、利郎（&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;001234&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 新細明體; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'"&gt;）、恆安國際等，都引起投資市場高度的關注。以恆安國際來說，該公司受到關注的一個重要關鍵，係因恆安在二、三線城市，營運有很大的斬獲。兩岸咖啡董事長楊進發說，就他的觀察，中國二、三級城市居民財富增長的速度，遠比一級城市要快。這個現象對企業經營的意義，可能是突顯了主要營運利潤將來自於二、三級城市，而企業對於一級城市的經營，重點可能是在企業或品牌形象的建立。楊進發的話點出另一個投資重點，以深耕二、三線有成的企業為優先。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-FAMILY: 新細明體; FONT-SIZE: 12pt; mso-font-kerning: 1.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-hansi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: ZH-TW; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA"&gt;面對龐大的城市化商機，陳朝政認為，品牌廠商對於行銷網絡的掌控能力，是品牌能否經營成功很重要的一環。以他所看好的流行服飾產業來說，他就會特別留意業者的展店策略。除此之外，企業是否擁有掌握消費者喜好變化的能力，也是他所關注的重點。以他本人看好的流行服飾業來說，他就會特別留意公司是否擁有自己的設計團隊。多數投資人在看待中國內需市場的成長時，目光都鎖定在品牌企業，事實上，品牌企業的協力廠商、供應商，已潛藏著不錯的投資機會。陳朝政說，零組件或原料廠商只要能打進中國市場一線品牌大廠的供應鏈，未來業績成長就不用太擔心，要是能囊括所有的一線品牌客戶，就更不用擔心品牌客戶之間市占率的消長。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div

type='text'>2010 Week 33</title><content type='html'>l          2010年08月10日投資大師安東尼•波頓看好中國消費類股&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;富達國際投資總裁安東尼•波頓（ANTHONY BOLTON）大膽押注中國13億消費者。他預計大約未來五年﹐全球最大新興經濟體──中國的經濟結構將發生重大改變：國內消費將超過出口和基建投資﹐成為中國經濟增長的主要動力。這是英國新興市場投資者的新封閉式基金──富達中國特別時機基金（Fidelity China Special Situations Fund）在投資組合中約有40%資金投向中國非必需消費品、日常用品和電信服務類股的原因﹐基金中約30%是金融類股、其餘多數是信息技術、醫療保健、工業和材料類股。該基金於4月19日在倫敦證交所推出（美國投資者可以通過經紀商進行投資）。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;今年60歲&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;、滿頭白發的波頓7月底在上海接受《巴倫週刊》採訪時說﹐中國是新興市場的亮點﹐在這裡數量可觀的人負擔得起第一次買車、購房和購買其他商品。里昂證券亞太市場駐上海策略師羅福萬（Andy Rothman）同意這一觀點。羅福萬預計﹐今年工資上漲和家庭債務較少將使國內消費為國內生產總值（GDP）貢獻近一半的增幅﹐他預計今年GDP增長率將為9%至10%﹐對基建的投資將退居次要地位﹐另外由於歐美需求下降﹐出口對經濟增長將不會作出貢獻。波頓的投資組合尤其青睞電信和互聯網類股﹐該基金持有的十大股票中﹐有三支是電信和互聯網股票。波頓說﹐推動中國經濟增長的動力正在變為國內消費﹐而電信股就是一個典型例子。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他指出﹐值得一提的是﹐這些公司沒有競爭對手﹐中國目前有2,520萬名第三代（3G）無線移動技術用戶﹐掌上互聯網設備的使用在中國非常流行。對這位頑固的價值投資者的另一誘惑是：我喜歡電信類股的一個原因是﹐這是世界上最不受歡迎的類股之一。波頓說﹐在這時間不長的投資組合中表現最好的是中國聯通。該公司是中國固話、移動電話和寬帶互聯網服務的全國運營商﹐自該基金4月19日推出以來﹐中國聯通股價已上漲15.64%﹐7月26日收報10.50港元。聯通一直在快速擴張﹐僅2009年就增加了1,420萬名手機用戶﹐去年10月還推出了3G移動互聯網服務。今年營收料增長7%﹐但利潤率下降﹐每股收益（EPS）或將下滑30%至0.28元人民幣(合0.04美元)﹐預計明年每股收益將增長64%。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;雖然自基金成立以來﹐該基金持倉量最大的中國移動 (China Mobile) 並沒有多好的表現﹐但波頓說﹐這筆投資值得保留。中國移動擁有5.44億的手機和3G用戶﹐在3G市場的佔有率達41%﹐預計其收入將在今年增長6.5%﹐每股收益增長2.26%至人民幣5.87元。騰訊控股 (Tencent Holdings) 的股價近幾個月已經下跌逾10%﹐但這家提供在線遊戲、即時通訊和其他互聯網服務的公司﹐在波頓傾向消費題材的投資策略中卻處於核心位置。今年一季度﹐騰訊收入為人民幣42.3億元 (合6.191億美元)﹐同比增長68.70%﹐同一時期公司的股東應佔溢利為17.8億元。在過去12個月﹐騰訊股價上漲了33.62%。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;雖然現在判斷這只基金的表現還為時尚早﹐但從基金持有人為這只封閉式基金支付的價格可以看出﹐波頓對中國消費者的下注已經在取得回報。數據提供商理柏 (Lipper) 提供的數據顯示﹐按美元計算﹐從4月19日到7月27日﹐該基金的市價上浮了大4.47%。按英鎊計算﹐上浮幅度為2.27%。晨星公司 (Morningstar) 的數據顯示﹐截至7月27日﹐該基金管理的資產為5.199億英鎊 (合8.13億美元)。同一時期﹐成份股為大、中型股的摩根士丹利資本國際中國指數 (MSCI China Index) 按美元計算下跌了1.57%。這只基金的誕生標志著波頓重返投資戰場。他曾擔任富達特別時機基金 (Fidelity Special Situations Trust) 的投資經理﹐在27年時間裡讓該基金實現了年均19.5%的增長﹐此後於2007年掛冠而去。&lt;br /&gt; 這是一只封閉式基金﹐專攻大型股。此後他擔任了一個較為輕鬆的職位﹐負責指導富達在倫敦的分析師﹐一共三年。之後他搬到香港﹐重組了富達一支已經管理約200億美元資產的隊伍﹐使其來運營他新成立的中國基金。波頓預計﹐將來他的主要挑戰是如何管理中國股市的波動性﹐因為這個市場很容易突然出現變故。所以他投資的是在香港、新加坡等地上市的內地公司﹐而不是這些公司在上海的A股。A股公司往往相互持股﹐當負面消息拉低A股大盤時﹐它們自己的股價往往也會被拖累。波頓設定了一個嚇人的目標﹐那就是要在未來三年成為業績最優的四只基金之一。他說﹐隨著時間的推移﹐你會遇到比基準股指更多的波動﹐但我認為事實已經證明﹐長期而言我可以實現更高的平均回報﹔對於中國﹐我也在採取同樣的方法。&lt;div

type='text'>2010 Week 29</title><content type='html'>l          梅鐸 要買英付費電視一哥 【經濟日報╱編譯吳柏賢／綜合外電】2010.06.16&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;為強化數位新聞事業的獲利能力並鞏固電視事業，新聞公司（News Corp）已向英國最大付費電視業者英國天空廣播公司（BSkyB）提出收購案，並宣布收購電子書科技公司Skiff與投資線上付費業者「新聞線上」（Journalism Online）。消息人士指出，新聞公司提出的非正式收購提議，欲以每股700 便士、總價78億英鎊（115億美元）的現金買下BSkyB的61%股權，價碼高於上周所提的每股675便士。若達成協議，將創該媒體集團數年來最大的收購金額。新聞公司目前已擁有BSkyB39%股權。目前雙方尚未就收購價取得共識。BSkyB的獨立董事接受摩根士丹利（Morgan Stanley）與瑞銀（UBS）的建議，表示將接受每股超過800便士的價格，但由於預期可能遭遇監管當局阻礙，雙方同意合作取得監管當局首肯再進入正式協商。這項收購案顯示新聞公司有意強化旗下最賺錢的事業。新聞公司近年來不遺餘力地發展高畫質電視等新世代電視服務，分析師表示，新聞集團若成功收購BSkyB的其餘股權，將可受惠於BSkyB所費不貲的投資。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BSkyB的電視部門自1989年推出以來，以轉播英超足球聯賽為事業重心，電視、網路與手機等服務的收視戶約977萬，成功躋身歐洲媒體巨擘之列，但近年來呈現虧損；BSkyB的市值約為105億英鎊（155億美元）。此外，新聞公司向赫斯特（Hearst）收購Skiff與投資「新聞線上」，顯示該集團意圖強化網路付費新聞事業，並將影音資訊全面深入快速成長的平板電腦與手機等裝置。SKiff為平板電腦與手機等行動裝置提供出版品的後製工程，如數位格式的轉換與提供廣告的方式等。Skiff的數位出版系統也給予數位出版商較多的出版品外觀與商業模式主控權，號稱比蘋果與亞馬遜（Amazon）對出版商更友善。新聞公司並未透露收購Skiff與投資新聞線上的條件。消息人士指出，新聞公司將不同於赫斯特的做法，不會將Skiff獨立經營，而將把Skiff併入旗下公司，並指出Google 也有意收購Skiff，但Google發言人拒絕回應。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20100711: BSY有虧損嗎？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;l          How Wal-Mart Creates Working Capital 07/09/10&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wal-Mart (WMT) is by far the largest retailer in the world with more than $400 billion in store revenues in 2009, far ahead of competitors like Costco (COST), Target (TGT) and Best Buy(BBY). Retail and consumer goods manufacturers realize significant sales through Wal-Mart's retail channel. This gives Wal-Mart leverage to influence and push suppliers to sell at cheaper prices. Wal-Mart, with its power over suppliers and strong credit quality, can thus efficiently manage its working capital. Below we briefly discuss the components of Wal-Mart's working capital, and how they together add value to the company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rotating Inventory&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wal-Mart had an inventory of close to $34.5 billion at the end of 2008 and around $33 billion at the end of 2009. With annual sales of more than $400 billion in 2009, the company is rotating about its entire inventory almost every month. The purpose of keeping inventory low is to reduce overhead costs related to inventory management as well as reduce the risk of inventory obsolescence (leading to markdowns).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;obsolescence :[͵ɑbsəˋlɛsəns] 陳舊過時&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Freeing Up Cash For Investments&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wal-Mart currently maintains accounts payable of close to $30 billion, while its accounts receivables are close to $4 billion. Accounts payable is the amount that Wal-Mart is yet to pay to its suppliers for the inventory it has purchased, while accounts receivable is the sales revenue that Wal-Mart is yet to collect from its customers.&lt;br /&gt;Wal-Mart has been able to maintain the wide difference between payables and receivables because of its influence over the suppliers and the brand image that it has built over the years. Higher payables balances allow Wal-Mart to hold significant cash that it can invest in its own business or that can earn interest. Wal-Mart can earn more than $2 million per day based on earning a modest 3% annualized return on $30 billion of cash yet to be paid to its suppliers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leverage Over Suppliers&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wal-Mart's accounts payable grew from around $29 billion at the end of 2008 to around $30.5 billion at the end of 2009. During the same period, its inventory balance declined from about $34.5 billion to $33 billion. The company maintains this trend will continue going forward and expects its payables to grow faster than its inventory. Such a scenario will reduce net working capital for Wal-Mart and free up additional cash for investment.&lt;br /&gt; We have conservatively estimated that Wal-Mart's net working capital (as a percentage of Wal-Mart's revenues) remain flat. However, you can modify our forecast below to see how Wal-Mart's stock could be positively impacted if its net working capital (as % of revenues) were to decrease over time as a result of Wal-Mart's ability to grow its payables faster than its inventory.

/&gt;歐洲市值最大的雀巢公司（Nestle）年初出售愛爾康（Alcon）持股，下半年將有逾280億美元進帳，有了雄厚的財力作後盾，雀巢可望進軍新興市場攻城掠地。雀巢先前以281億美元的價碼，出脫愛爾康半數股權給諾華公司（Novartis），這筆款項下半年就會收到。屆時，雀巢的財力將更勝於坐擁265億美元現金的Google，足以助其收購全球任何食品上市公司。雀巢財務長辛赫（Jim Singh）透露，公司已展開規模100億瑞郎的庫藏股計畫，但他也坦承投資在事業和併購上是更好的選擇。投資人的確更希望雀巢拓展新興市場的事業版圖，以追上聯合利華（Unilever）的腳步；後者約半數營收都由開發中國家貢獻。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thornburg投資管理公司基金經理人德菲薩尼說：「現在是雀巢最得意的時刻，但他們在新興市場的發展顯然落後一截。」雀巢預估，未來10年內，新興市場將有大約10億名消費者買負擔得起雀巢的產品。目前該公司只有約三分之一的營收來自新興市場，執行長巴克（Paul Bulcke）希望10年內把比率提高至45%。雀巢亞洲區負責人范迪克上個月透露，公司可能進軍中國市場收購瓶裝水事業；收購營養品業者也是選擇之一，對象可能包括中國聖元的嬰兒配方奶粉公司。部分分析師則認為，雀巢應該考慮收購寵物飼料製造商，以對抗寶鹼（P&amp;amp;G）的挑戰，或是前進非洲開闢新的瓶裝水市場。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;巴克2008年接任雀巢執行長以來，至今只完成一件超過10億美元的併購案：年初宣布以37億美元收購卡夫的北美冷凍事業。他承諾未來每年最多將斥資30億瑞郎進行併購。野村公司分析師海斯說：「他們會利用這些資金大肆收購資產，至少會投入一大筆錢。」他預測雀巢可能收購通用磨坊（General Mills）。全世界公開上市的食品和非酒精飲料製造商中，只有可口可樂、百事公司、聯合利華、卡夫和法國達能集團（Groupe Danone）的市值超過281億美元。彭博的資料顯示，今年來雀巢的股價已上漲5.3%，聯合利華和卡夫的股價分別漲1.4%和6.5%。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;l          別小看台灣的電子代工業3 July,2010&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;與其說不要小看台灣的電子代工產業，更精確的說法是，別小看台灣電子產業供應鏈的力量與應變能力，儘管代工業者已淪為「茅山道士」(毛利率3%到4%)，但「數字會說話」。 其實，透過規模經濟的擴大及成本控管的精進，金融海嘯過後的2009年，竟然有不少企業獲利爬到高峰，這點的確令人驚訝。 而更令人驚艷的是，儘管NB代工廠商毛利率從全盛時期的15%多，一路下滑到4%多，但近幾年，台灣NB代工廠商獲利數字卻繳出了連3年歷史新高的紀錄。 3C電子產品價格不斷下滑，這些代工大廠毛利率也一路下探到4%，獲利為何可以屢創新高？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;這樣的落差，不得不令人想問，大家是不是都太專注於毛利率數字，導致陷入了「毛利率的迷思」？ 的確，單以「毛利率」來論價值，對最下游的代工組裝廠商並不公平。原因是，組裝廠向零組件廠採購各式零組件，進行組裝後再銷售給品牌廠商，因此代工廠雖然只是設計組裝，但營業額相當龐大，也因分母相當大，毛利率相對就低 (毛利率=(營業收入-營業成本)/營業收入)。產業供應鏈的排序與毛利率有密切關係，通常最上游的原料、晶圓代工、IC設計擁有較高毛利率，越往下游，毛利率越低，分母大小就是其中關鍵。 廣達2009年稅後盈餘高達223億元，EPS (每股盈餘) 6.09 元，獲利連3年創下歷史新高，EPS也是近10年來最佳表現。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;仁寶2009年稅後盈餘高達192億元，EPS為4.91元，獲利同樣連3年刷新歷史記錄，EPS也是近10年最好。緯創2009年獲利91.35億元，獲利及EPS同為歷史新高。代工業者表示，台灣零組件廠商降低成本 (costdown) 的能力相當驚人，無論是規模經濟、設計改善抑或嚴謹的管理，各有所長，是台灣電子產業最核心的競爭優勢。有不少人認為，「毛利率不三不四」 (力保毛利率3%或4%水準) 的產業，有什麼好探討的？更有不少人認為，台灣代工產業唯有轉型，否則只是窮途末路。的確，任何企業都需要新的生命力，不斷創新才不致被科技的洪流洗刷殆盡，但是，代工業就真的沒有前途嗎？華碩、宏碁從代工起家，最終走向品牌，過程雖然艱辛，但成功創造企業全新價值，是大家熟知的故事，然而，仍然靠著設計代工 (ODM) 賺進大把鈔票的廣達、仁寶、英業達、緯創還有剛從華碩分家出來的和碩聯合，未來的劇本又會是如何呢？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;「多元化發展」，似乎已是大家共同的方向，從桌上型電腦 (PC) 到筆記型電腦 (NB)，進而擴展到3C產業、電視、汽車零組件、醫療設備，甚至家俱、家飾都有人涉獵。原因是，未來不只是3C產業，包括汽車及家俱家飾都將融入更多科技，進而成為「電子產品」，台灣代工產業也正從3C產業逐漸擴散到家庭的每個角落，路也愈來愈廣。更令人期待的是，這些企業共同結盟，開創全新的「雲端」新商機，正一步步刻畫全新的夢想。別忘了台灣人民的勤奮及旺盛的生命力，正在創造更多的「無限可能」。時代的巨輪正從西方慢慢東移，台灣20年來的科技代工經驗，已讓台商不僅有製造生產技術，更包辦了設計能力。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;面對中國市場的崛起，「我們準備好了」，這是台商們興奮的吶喊。新一代學成歸國的創意設計精英，加上老一代生產管理的經驗，成為攻略中國市場，放眼全球的最佳組合。此時，中國市場的興起，正巧為台灣企業提供了一個絕佳的戰場以及轉型的新契機。其實近10年來，台灣企業的生命力與延展性在NB代工產業中表露無遺，雖然處處有危機，卻時時有驚喜。正當大家一味重「品牌」、輕「代工」之際，代工廠的大老們忍不住要為自己抱屈。和碩董事長童子賢說，未來和碩是左手設計，右手代工，未來你們會看到和碩真正的價值所在。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;仁寶總經理陳瑞聰曾說，「別小看我們這些毛利率只有3%到4%的代工廠，在大者恆大的趨勢下，我們的優勢正逐步發揮，別只在意我們的毛利率，關心獲利率及獲利數字更實在。」「你們會發現，儘管毛利率不高，但近2、3年來我們的獲利卻相當亮眼。自有品牌夢，當然人人都想要，但並非每個人都能站在舞台前當大明星，更何況A咖級大明星通常是萬中之選；認清自己的專長，專注所長才是長勝之計。」 台灣代工產業並非單靠低廉工資賺取利潤，不斷的創新，技術提升，持續提升企業附加價值才是台灣NB代工產業能夠歷久不衰的主因。&lt;br /&gt; 20100707: 有這種文章真好. 會從一數到十的馬是一匹了不起的馬, 但不會因此成為一位了不起的數學家.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

with Pepsico (PEP), is the world’s largest manufacturer, distributor, and marketer of non-alcoholic beverage concentrates and syrups. The company primarily sells these syrups and concentrates to bottlers who, in turn, sell the finished product. Coca Cola’s beverage portfolio can be broadly divided into carbonated and non-carbonated soft drinks. Dietary concerns have led some consumers to move away from carbonated drinks like Coke, Sprite and Fanta, in favor of water, juices and energy drinks. As a result, companies like Coca Cola and Pepsi have diversified into more non-carbonated beverages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although Coca Cola has well-known non-carbonated brands like Dasani (water), Minute Maid (juices) and Powerade (energy drink), the majority of the company’s value is still attributable to its traditional carbonated beverages. CSDs Account for 70% of Coca Cola’s Stock While non-CSDs Contribute 30%. Carbonated soft drinks (CSD) are essentially soda-based drinks that include famous brands like Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, Fanta and other smaller brands like Coke Zero, Sprite Zero and Barq. These brands together account for about 70% of the $56 Trefis price estimate for Coca Cola’s stock. This amounts to around $90 billion in absolute terms based on our estimated $130 billion value for Coca Cola’s stock.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In comparison, non-carbonated soft drinks essentially include energy drinks, bottled water, fruit juices and other ready-to-drink beverages sold by the company. Powerade, Minute Maid and Dasani are some of the major Coca Cola brands in this category. Non-Carbonated drinks together account for 30% of the value of Coca Cola’s stock, or approximately $40 billion in absolute terms based on our estimated $130 billion value for the company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Non-CSDs Have Higher Revenue per Case, But CSDs Have Much Higher Volume&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We estimate the revenue per case for The Coca Cola Company’s carbonated soft drinks sold in the US is around $1.49 while that for the international sales is $1.20. In comparison, the revenue per case for non-carbonated soft drinks tends to be higher, as customers are ready to pay a premium for such drinks due to their perceived health benefits. In the case of juices like Minute Maid, the input costs for the company are also higher than that of carbonated drinks like Coke. For example, we estimate that the revenue per case for drinks sold under the Minute Maid brand in the US is $1.71 and $1.36 internationally.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;l          What Is Warren Buffett Buying and Selling？June 20, 2010 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Warren Buffett, head of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) (BRK.B), is one of the three richest people in the world and a top trader and investor.

type='text'>2010 Week 25</title><content type='html'>l 公司虧損十億 執行長照領千萬元2010-06-14&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;矽谷公司如何決定執行長應獲得多少薪酬，往往變幻莫測，令人摸不清楚。以紅木城的電動遊戲製造商藝電（Electronic Arts）為例，去年該公司申報10億元的虧損，可是卻付給執行長John Riccitiello高達1,110萬元的薪酬。該金額比電子海灣（eBay）付給執行長John Donahoe的薪酬高出100萬元，電子海灣的公司規模是藝電的兩倍，而且去年獲得24億元的盈利。該金額與聖荷西的賺錢公司思科（Cisco）付給執行長全柏斯（John Chambers）的薪酬1,280萬元相當接近，而思科的規模卻是藝電的八倍，去年獲得60餘億元的盈利。這就是矽谷執行長薪酬迷宮，執行長獲得的薪酬似乎與公司的規模和獲利程度沒有明顯關聯。造成這種現象的一個因素可能是，公司通常在財政年初期就需決定執行長的薪酬，那時候沒有人可以鐵口直斷公司未來是否會賺錢。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;藝電發言人布朗（Jeff Brown）解釋道，該金額並未超過同行付給執行長的薪酬，這些同行包括電動遊戲業和互聯網科技業。他並稱，藝電在過去兩年節省了1億元開銷，而且產品品質大幅改進，去年銷售業績增加到42億元，這都是執行長的功勞。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;除了藝電之外，另一個例子是設於辛尼維爾（Sunnyvale）製造網路產品的Infinera公司。該公司2008年獲得超過7,800萬元盈利，但在2009年卻虧損將近8,700萬元。公司執行長辛格（Jagdeep Singh）在2009年獲得620萬元的薪酬，是2008年的三倍。Infinera公司行銷副總裁杜德（Rick Dodd）亦表示，&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;辛格在2009年艱難時期的努力，為公司稍後收入連續成長四季打下基礎，領取這樣的薪酬當之無愧。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;另一方面，聖荷西的電子產品製造商Sanmina-SCI，鑒於去年銷售業績下滑1.36億元，雖比2008年下滑將近5億元少很多，要給執行長Jure Sola財務獎勵，但被他拒絕，理由是他並沒有為公司達成最低財務目標。去年他只領取110萬元的薪酬，較2008年減少47%。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;l 股利大戶 明年要多繳稅囉2010/6/15&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;企業營所稅率大降至17%後，波及股東獲配股利的可扣抵稅額比率驟降至20.48%，個人綜所稅率逾21%以上的股利大戶，取得99年度的股利稅負會出現不降反升效應，營所稅降稅好處將被抵銷。立法院日昨三讀通過所得稅法部分條文修正案，自99年起企業的營所稅率將降為17%。財政部計算出營所稅率調降為17%後，企業分配給股東的可扣抵稅額比率上限，將自營所稅率為25%時的33.33%，一舉下降至20.48%。營所稅率為25%時，股利的抵減率上限是33.33%，個人綜合所得稅率在30%以下的投資人，獲配的股利都可以不必再增繳個人綜合所得稅；財政部說，營所稅率下降為17%後，企業配發99年的股利，股東抵減率上限降為20.48%，綜所稅率在21%以上的投資人，都要補繳股利的差額所得稅。也就是說，每百元股利可以申報扣減股東個人所得稅的上限抵稅額，會從33.33元下降至20.48元。財政部說，股東可扣抵額比率下降，在相同股利獲配水準下，個人所需繳納的股利所得稅自然會上升。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;財政部強調，兩稅合一實施後，基於不再對股利所得重複課稅的精神，企業所繳納的營所稅，可以在分配股利給股東時，做為股東繳納綜所稅的抵稅額。營所稅率愈高，股利的可扣抵比率會較高；反之，抵稅率就會下降。財政部說，股利的所得稅負在兩稅合一機制下，透過股利可扣抵比率的設計，是以個人所得稅為最終稅負，也就是股利稅負高低需視個人綜所稅率多寡而定。目前個人所得稅率最低為5%，最高達40%。財政部官員指出，一般企業決定發放99年的股利時點約在100年的5、6月間，也就是101年5月申報100年個人綜所稅時，股利大戶就會明顯感受股利稅負上升的效果。依據現行稅法，股利形式不同，綜所稅負也不一樣。如為現金股利，全額都要併入股東個人綜合所得計稅；取得的股利如為股票股利，就只有面額十元部分，一般股東（非屬員工分紅配股）要按營利所得性質合併個人綜合所得繳稅，超過面額以上部分，全數視為證券交易所得享有免稅。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;l 鐵路代表未來 經濟成長主動力March 26, 2010&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在去年11月，波克夏哈瑟威公司（Berkshire Hathaway）宣布以260億元收購柏林頓北部聖塔菲鐵路（BNSF）之後，引來市場無數猜測。投資者都想知道為何這種19世紀的技術能給整個21世紀帶來收益。據今日美國報報導，當時批評人士認為，這項投資或許也標誌著名投資者巴菲特（Warren Buffett）的衰老。在30至40年代，巴菲特成長的奧馬哈也是聯合太平洋鐵路（UP）的總部。當年星期天中午能在市中心的聯合太平洋火車站用餐是一種社會身份的象徵。巴菲特宣布收購這家&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;全國第二大&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;鐵路公司時表示，鐵路技術代表了未來。他表示鐵路能更好的幫助這個國家，以更經濟的方式運輸商品。因為不像卡車，鐵路無須爭奪擁擠的高速公路，也無須政府投資維修公路。他說，「&lt;strong&gt;鐵路是&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;唯一能負擔&lt;/span&gt;經濟增長的運輸方式。別無其他的方式可以實現。&lt;/strong&gt;」 波克夏公司之前就持有80億元BNSF的股票，加上本次260億元收購計畫以及擔保100億元債券，總共投資達到440億元。是公司歷史上最大規模收購行動。此舉不僅提高了BNSF的股價，也引發一輪鐵路股投資熱潮。據分析人士估計，近期已有180多億新資金涌入鐵路版塊。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20100617: 記錯啦！BNSF不過是第二大. 第一大很可能是Union Pacific (UNP).&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3345907756059445902-5779843861109479403?l=aaphoneman.blogspot.com' alt=''

/&gt;A股跌跌不休，連美國「股神」巴菲特與全球首富比爾蓋茲也難以倖免，兩人投資的主要六檔A股，今年以來僅「農產品」及「江南高纖」小漲，「中國中鐵」、「金融街」受房市利空打壓重挫逾兩成，這六檔A股平均跌幅超過11%。由微軟創辦人比爾蓋茲和巴菲特出資成立的比爾和梅琳達·蓋茲基金（下稱「蓋茲基金」），今年來在A股投資受傷慘重。據滬深交易所公開資訊顯示，蓋茲基金總共出現在六檔A股的前十大流通股東名單中，分別為：農產品、江南高纖、豐原生化、晨鳴紙業、中國中鐵，還有金融街。上述六檔A股上市公司，今年以來平均下跌逾11%以上，但若與上證指數今年以來18.96%的跌幅相比，蓋茲基金的表現仍略優於大盤。蓋茲基金的主要持股中，以農產品與江南高纖的表現稍好，今年以來漲幅分別為6.48%與0.67%。隨著大陸推出房市打壓政策，中國中鐵與金融街今年股價跌幅更已超過兩成。4月29日，金融街披露公司第一季報，蓋茲基金首次出現在該公司十大流通股名單。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;不過，金融街的第一季報利空不斷，包括淨利潤較前一年同期下降四成、無新增投資性房地產等。另外，&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;江南高纖副董事長盛冬生第一季在高檔出脫186萬股公司股票，則給市場帶來不小的震撼。豐原生化則在業務轉暖時遭遇打擊，公司公告顯示，2010年1月，大陸調低其核心產品燃料乙醇的補貼標準，致使公司能獲得的燃料乙醇補貼大幅縮水。蓋茲基金於&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;2004年9月&lt;/span&gt;開始進軍A股市場，&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;近六年&lt;/span&gt;的投資中，「蓋茲概念股」始終表現平平。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;截至2010年第一季末，蓋茲基金共持有12家A股上市公司股票，以傳統行業為主，包括建築建材、造紙、生物醫藥等行業。蓋茲基金對農產品、晨鳴紙業、金融街、中國中鐵，均持有超過千萬股的股數，其中農產品與晨鳴紙業，均於2009年開始買進。市場人士認為，蓋茲基金的操作風格較為保守，傾向於投資擁有壟斷資源的公司，消費品、原材料和公用事業也是其主要投資重點。 &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;受惠防鴻效應 嘉澤上季每股賺逾5元【經濟日報╱記者詹惠珠／台北報導】2010.05.03&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;連接器廠第一季季報揭露後，凸顯新勢力的崛起，與鴻海（3217）同樣生產電腦CPU（處理器）連接器廠嘉澤端子（3533）受惠於防鴻效應，第一季每股稅後純益5.11元，成為連接器的黑馬，法人預估，嘉澤今年全年每股獲利在20元至30元。而連接器龍頭廠正崴（2392）因在連接器本業以外的業績不理想下，侵蝕獲利，第一季每股只賺0.1元，不如預期。鴻海跨入NB產業後，連接器已有一些新勢力的崛起，嘉澤是最明顯的例子。&lt;strong&gt;在CPU Socket的部分，鴻海一直是獨大局面，嘉澤過去市占率&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;不到一成&lt;/span&gt;，2006年嘉澤在&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;未上市前&lt;/span&gt;，還遭鴻海控告侵權，但後來在英特爾&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;扶植第二供應廠商&lt;/span&gt;的想法下，介入協調和解，英特爾&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;也是嘉澤的股東&lt;/span&gt;。&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;去年上半年鴻海跨入NB產業，NB廠紛紛開啟防鴻效應，其中最明顯的就是CPU連接器，帶動嘉澤業績爆衝，也致使日前鴻海對嘉澤短付權利金再度提告。嘉澤近期行事相當低調，去年的年報到今年4月底才公告，嘉澤去年全年稅後純益5.96億元，較前一年2.65億元成長125%，每股稅後純益7.81元，其中第四季單季就賺2.7億元，逼近全年前三季。嘉澤去年全年每股純益在宏致與凡甲之後，但今年第一季就大幅超前對手，成為連接器廠的獲利王。嘉澤獲利增加的速度驚人，第一季單季稅後純益4.1億元，較去年同期成長14倍，單季每股純益5.11元。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;嘉澤獲利爆衝，主要來自於NB大廠快速轉單，在防鴻效應下，嘉澤的&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;NB連接器&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;已陸續打入五大代工廠，目前單月營收已占一成，嘉澤預估，全年比重將超過二成。法人預估，嘉澤蘇州廠重新開模以及設計重整奏效，加上英特爾推出Calpella平台對提升業績有所幫助，嘉澤的CPU連接器在NB的市占率會逐步提高，使嘉澤今年每股獲利至少在20元、有機會挑戰30元，其中的變數在支付鴻海的權利金部分。&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;正崴第一季在缺工缺料的效應影響下，毛利率大幅下降，從去年的10.32%下降到6.24%，加上除連接器以外，近期有些事業單位表現不佳，使正崴第一季稅後純益只有4,444萬元，較去年同期的2.36億元大幅衰退，單季每股純益僅0.1元。&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;20100531: 原本我們認為socket有甚麼轉換成本, Now it turns out to be P. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;巴菲特：美國市政債券將成為聯邦政府燙手山芋2010-06-03&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;美國股神華倫巴菲特 (Warren Buffett) 2日在美國金融危機調查委員會上表示，美國市政債券將會在數年後成為聯邦政府的燙手山芋。&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;巴菲特指出，如果聯邦政府願意介入協助，那麼美國市政債券的債信評等就是「AAA」；如果聯邦政府不肯幫忙，那麼沒有人知道他們真正的債信等級應該為何。巴菲特表示這是信評機構當前面臨的難題，包括他自己或穆迪 (Mooody`s)、標準普爾 (Standard &amp;amp; Poor`s) 都無法預知未來5-10年美國地方財政狀況究竟會如何。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;彭博社報導，巴菲特於5月1日表示，聯邦政府在提供大筆資金援助金融業以及汽車業之後，很難拒絕地方政府的金援請求。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20100603:

Moratti），2008年曾幫巴菲特安排歐洲之旅，讓這位投資大師至德國、義大利、西班牙及瑞士等地打探收購商機。巴菲特當時說，他預期未來十年將找到可投資的歐洲企業。莫拉提說：「我相信巴菲特正搜尋歐洲企業收購機會。」莫拉提指出，過去兩年來，巴菲特總拒絕歐洲企業提出的收購提議，原因是這些賣家若非規模不夠大，就是負債太多。他說，&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;近期歐元走貶&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;、希臘債務危機並不會讓巴菲特打退堂鼓，且近兩年歐洲的併購機會已經增加，「巴菲特對總體經濟狀況不感興趣，他要找尋的是規模夠大、長期展望良好、管理面佳、且價格公道的企業」。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CEO

the 'Current' Warren Buffett 14 May 2010&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MidAmerican Energy Holdings Chairman David Sokol, widely seen as a frontrunner to follow Warren Buffett at Berkshire Hathaway, talks about the key lesson he's learned from Buffett, in this excerpt from the new book Behind the Berkshire Hathaway Curtain: Lessons from Warren Buffett's Top Business Leaders by Ronald W. Chan. During the late 1990s, a stock market bubble was in the making. In addition to Internet stocks, energy stocks also soared to sky-high levels. Hindsight has revealed that many of these companies were cooking the books and telling elaborate stories to investors. David, in contrast, had the self-discipline to remain calm and not make foolish investment decisions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Being out of step with the times, however, has consequences. "We were by any measure a large company at that point," David explained. "We were generating solid profits every quarter, and we looked at our business in a risk-weighted way. Our stock was rising, but our peers were doubling and tripling theirs. Analysts became critical of us because our stock was lagging behind." Stock analysts recommended that David adopt a more short-term perspective, complaining that the company's projects were too long-term oriented: "One analyst said to me that we needed more 'deal velocity.' He explained that our peers, including Enron, were making two to three deals a month, but we were only making one or two a year. In the end, I was just fed up."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By 1999, David could no longer bear the shortsighted nature of the investment community. His mounting frustration, and a family tragedy (his son, David Jr., had just succumbed to cancer), prompted David to consider ceasing to play the analysts' game by taking the company private. He set up a special board meeting to discuss the possible privatization of MidAmerican and carefully laid out his reasons for doing so. "We came up with a leveraged-buyout plan in which the management team would take over the company with debt," David explained, "but this would naturally force us to break the company apart and hurt our employees. We did not want that, so I phoned Walter for advice. Coincidentally, he was with Warren Buffett in California at the time and said he'd ask Warren if he was interested."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The following week, David, Scott, and Buffett met. After just an hour together, a deal was struck. On October 25, 1999, Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway announced the acquisition of MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company for $35.05 a share, valuing the company at roughly $2 billion. "Selling MidAmerican to Berkshire Hathaway is the best decision I have ever made in my career," David exclaimed. "Dealing with the two most important men in Omaha – Walter Scott Jr. and Warren Buffett — I am constantly reminded of their business virtues."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of Buffett, David said: "He has both breadth and depth of knowledge. He understands all sectors of business, and understands the logic behind each. Sometimes he sounds like he does not know much about the technical issues of a sector because he isn't actively engaged in it. But he actually knows a lot because he reads so much, and he has the ability to put all of his research and information together to come to rational decisions."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having been associated with Buffett for over a decade now, David has become even more disciplined in his work: "What I have learned from Warren is that one should never bring emotion to a decision. Business decisions should always be based on facts, data, and circumstances. You can be an emotional person, but your business decisions must be based on fundamentals, because a business is only worth so much, and emotion can crowd out your business judgment. In Warren's words, 'you have to be disciplined enough not to swing at every pitch!'"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;crowd out :[ ] 1. 擠出&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3345907756059445902-5396747542708356310?l=aaphoneman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aaphoneman.blogspot.com/feeds/5396747542708356310/comments/default' title='張貼意見'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3345907756059445902&amp;postID=5396747542708356310' title='0 個意見'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3345907756059445902/posts/default/5396747542708356310'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3345907756059445902/posts/default/5396747542708356310'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aaphoneman.blogspot.com/2010/05/2010-week-21.html' title='2010 Week 21'/><author><name>阿尼</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16386106581617903762</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345907756059445902.post-786247633034008898</id><published>2010-05-12T20:15:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2010-05-12T20:23:28.038+08:00</updated><title type='text'>2010 Week 20</title><content type='html'>l          SAP, Waste Management End Trash Talk May 04, 2010&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chris Kanaracus of IDG News Service reports that SAP has settled with Waste Management (WM) for an undisclosed amount. The new guys at SAP are on a roll as they literaly unload a lot of the trash left over from previous regimes. The source for Chris' article was a Waste Management 10-Q. The trial was set to start in the next few days so presumably SAP finally decided the customer is always right (no matter how stupid the customer) and that it was throwing good money after bad just because it was morally right. And then there was the likely loss, down there in plaintiff-happy Texas, of $800 million up from $100 million when the suit was filed (albeit that number would have never held up on appeal).

The Business Standard, quoting sources involved in the planning of Buffett's visit to India next March, says he will "take up the issue" with the government during the trip. According to the newspaper, foreign investors can't own more than 26 percent of an Indian insurance company. The government has proposed raising the limit to 49 percent, but that would still be short of majority control.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sources tell the paper that Buffett's "fallback option" is to set up his own general insurance company or "acquire a significant stake in an existing company." Another potential obstacle is that right now "the rules do not allow the government to shed stake in the four public sector general insurance companies - New India Assurance, United India Insurance, National Insurance and Oriental Insurance." In addition, with all four of the state-owned companies generating profits, the government may not want to reduce its ownership. Buffett told shareholders earlier this month that "we've looked a lot at being in the insurance business in India" and "people there will be living a lot better 20 years from now."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;l          分析:谷歌Nexus One宣告失敗 應儘早放棄2010年05月11日&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5月11日消息，據國外媒體報道，有分析人士日前指出，谷歌Nexus One項目已宣告失敗，應儘早放棄。繼Verizon上個月放棄銷售谷歌Nexus One後，Sprint本週一也宣佈，將不會提供Nexus One手機服務。而谷歌今年1月發佈Nexus One時表示，其他運營商將在今年晚些時候銷售Nexus One。谷歌Nexus One上市後表現平平，第一週銷量僅為2萬部，遠低於市場預期。對此，有分析人士週一指出，現在是谷歌放棄Nexus One的時候。谷歌應該汲取教訓，試圖自己建個網站銷售自主品牌手機，但實際不可能打破美國長期以來的運營商壟斷模式。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;谷歌究竟錯在哪呢？首先，試圖擺脫運營商，直接與用戶建立合作關係的企圖被識破。長期以來，運營商一直主導著手機的整個銷售渠道，而谷歌Nexus One模式將打破這種局面。此外，谷歌並沒有為Nexus One做電視廣告，這是一大失策。而且，谷歌還可以為用戶提供更多補貼，但並沒有這樣做。最壞的消息是，Android的成功並沒有與Nexus One直接掛鉤。相反，採用Android系統的其他廠商的產品倒是蓬勃發展。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20100512: 我們對已經不合時宜的作業系統議題沒有興趣. 這篇文章引起我們注意的是通路的問題. 進入配銷通路的機會不均等 [Micheal Porter] 客戶在那裡？怎麼樣把東西賣到客戶手上？&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3345907756059445902-786247633034008898?l=aaphoneman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aaphoneman.blogspot.com/feeds/786247633034008898/comments/default' title='張貼意見'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3345907756059445902&amp;postID=786247633034008898' title='0 個意見'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3345907756059445902/posts/default/786247633034008898'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3345907756059445902/posts/default/786247633034008898'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aaphoneman.blogspot.com/2010/05/2010-week-20.html' title='2010 Week 20'/><author><name>阿尼</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16386106581617903762</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345907756059445902.post-8287637047449156915</id><published>2010-05-03T08:36:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2010-05-08T13:06:01.706+08:00</updated><title type='text'>2010 Week 19</title><content type='html'>&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;美股每一季有所謂的Earnings Call Transcript.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Fastenal's Oberton among most &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;underpaid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; CEOs May 7, 2010&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fastenal Co. President and CEO Willard Oberton is the nation's 10th most underpaid public company chief executive, according to research from Bloomberg Businessweek. Oberton — who has led Winona-based Fastenal (Nasdaq: FAST) since 2002 — earned $945,092 in 2009, just 15 percent of the $6.1 million that would have been considered "fair pay" under Bloomberg's methodology. His pay also was the fifth-lowest among the 271 CEOs included in the project. St. Jude Medical Inc. Chairman, President and CEO Daniel Stark was the most overpaid Twin Cities executive, according to the report. The $7.9 million he received in 2009 was more than double the $3.4 million that would have been considered "fair pay."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stark has been CEO at Little Canada-based St. Jude (NYSE: STJ) since 2002. Bloomberg's "fair pay" model redistributed $.7 billion in aggregate CEO pay using a formula based two-thirds on stock performance and one-third on company revenue. The nation's most overpaid executive, according to the research, was Frank Baldino, founder and CEO of Frazer, Pa.-based Cephalon Inc. (Nasdaq: CEPH). He made $11.1 million in 2009, more than eight times the $1.34 million allotted him under the formula. The most underpaid executive was Eric Schmidt, chairman and CEO of Mountain View, Calif.-based Google Inc. (NYSE: GOOG). He made $245,322, just 1 percent of his allotted "fair pay" of nearly $17.4 million.&lt;br /&gt; For Bloomberg's complete list of overpaid and underpaid CEOs, click here. The Business Journal publishes its own research on executive compensation at Minnesota companies every year. The most recent research, published in July 2009, ranked Ameriprise Inc.

/&gt;核心提示︰在一年一度的巴郡公司年會上，巴菲特對來自美國一流高校MBA班的100位尖子生說，不要怕犯錯，一個人所能犯的最大錯誤不在投資方面，而是選錯結婚伴侶。“如果你真的在這上面選錯，將讓你損失很多，而且不僅僅是金錢上的。”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;內布拉斯加州，奧馬哈市。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在一年一度、聞名全球的巴郡公司年會（“Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting”）即將召開前，這個安靜的美國小城迎來了一批重要客人，他們是來自美國一流高校MBA班的100位尖子生，而宴請主人正是“奧馬哈的先知、聖賢”，被美國人稱為是“除父親外最值得尊敬的男人”——沃倫巴菲特（Warren Buffett）。在宴請學生品嘗他最鐘愛的牛排前，巴菲特與100位“美國的未來”展開了封閉式對話，其坦承、交心，讓人想起喬布斯在斯坦福的那場著名演講——在這里，重要的不是具體的投資攻略，而是“人生選擇和經驗”。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“我希望你們認識到，筆頭和口頭交流的技巧非常重要。如果我可以給你們一個建議的話，你們真要在這方面下功夫。我相信你們每個人都有一個很好的未來，我現在願馬上掏出10萬美金去購買你們每個人未來的10%的現金流。”換言之，巴菲特相信在場的每位未來至少能賺100萬美金︰“但如果你們能把你們的口頭和筆頭交流技巧再提高一個層次，你們可以把自己的價值至少再提高50%。”在巴菲特的故鄉奧馬哈，這位有史以來最偉大的投資家開著一輛並不奢華的汽車，看上去很普通，但依靠股票、外匯市場的投資，他是世界上數一、數二的富翁。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2010年，巴菲特以淨資產470億美元位列“福布斯榜”第三名；而隨著巴郡公司近期公布的2009年亮麗成績單，其一貫的選股策略及巴郡的投資標的又已再次在美國市場上掀起一股“效法旋風”。巴菲特曾將他的投資理念歸結為三點︰把股票看成許多微型的商業單元；把市場波動看作朋友而非敵人 (利潤有時候來自對朋友的愚忠)；購買股票的價格應低於你所能承受的價位。換言之，他購買股票的基礎是︰假設次日關閉股市、或在五年內不再重新開放。在價值投資理論看來，一旦看到市場波動而認為有利可圖，投資就變成了投機，“沒有什麼比賭博心態更影響投資。”如今，巴菲特所倡導的“價值投資理論”已風靡世界，但事實上，很少有人能像他一樣數十年如一日地堅持下去。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;像大部分功成名就的美國老人一樣，對現年80歲的巴菲特而言，有兩件事非常重要︰一是“慈善”，另一即“傳承”。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;四月春日伊始，這場有關這位老人如何認識自己的更多細節和經驗的對話，本報特派記者全程參與。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“你能犯的最大錯誤”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;問︰你以前有沒有經歷過什麼挫折，又如何看待這些失敗？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;巴菲特︰肯定有。比如我以前特別不敢在公眾場合講話，不敢表達自己，我一直覺得這是個問題。高中畢業後，我曾經去“卡耐基”的Public Speaking訓練班，我都已經寫好了一個100美金的check （繳費），但到門口時又害怕，沒有去成。後來我回家左思右想，覺得如果我不能克服的話，這將成為我人生中的一大障礙。後來，我就又去把這個班報了。我想，人不要怕犯錯。我人生中犯過的錯，沒有任何一個失敗或錯誤，最後沒有成為一個實際上好的東西的。比如，當時我不敢在公眾場合講話，反倒讓我自己能對這個事特別重視，我就真的去報班，並刻意訓練自己。現在，這反倒成了我的一個長項。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;要是我沒有在這個方面訓練好的話，我想，我都不敢去向我的妻子求婚，讓她嫁給我。所以，所有所謂壞的或失敗的事背後其實都有一些好的東西在里面。你一定要相信，“信仰”（Faith）是很重要的，你要相信某個東西，到時候，這些壞的事情或暫時失敗的事最後都會自己化解，變成一個好事。有時候，人生真的是“塞翁失馬、焉知非福”。&lt;strong&gt;我年輕時曾與我們州最漂亮的女孩約會，但最後沒有成功。我听說她後來離過三次婚，如果我們當時真的在一起，我都無法想象未來會怎麼樣。&lt;/strong&gt;所以其實，你能犯的最大的錯誤，你人生中的最重要決定是，跟什麼人結婚。只有在選擇未來伴侶這件事上，如果你真的選錯了，將讓你損失很多。而且這個損失，不僅僅是金錢上的。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;問︰你現在怎麼看自己的競爭優勢和長處？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;巴菲特︰&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;其&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;實，我對公司運營是一竅不通的，有時候我到工廠去，連男廁所都找不到。（笑）但我很清楚我的優勢是什麼。對我而言，投資最重要的是兩點，一是能找到“護城河”（Moat），這也是我自己的一個哲學，所謂“護城河”是說，我所投的這個公司或生意是競爭者很難進入與我競爭的，就好像一個護城河一樣，我建立起很高的城牆，別人隨便攻不破我，這是我判斷要不要投一個公司時非常重要的標準之一。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;第二點是，要有“沒有利用過的定價權”（Untapped Pricing Power)。這個意思是說，我現在可以不去漲價，但是，我隨時都可以漲價，我現在先把這個公司買下來，買下後我再去提價。這個定價權還沒有完全被開發，沒有完全被用上。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;比如，我以前曾投過一個巧克力公司叫“See`s”，這是美國非常有名的一個巧克力品牌。買巧克力很多時候是人們在情人節或節日時去買，很多時候又是男人買給自己妻子或愛人。通常，他們每年買的時候不會記得去年一年是花了多少錢買巧克力。我認為這就是一個很好的生意。我在家里裝了一個“魔鏡”，每年快到情人節時，我就對魔鏡說︰“魔鏡魔鏡，今年我可以把See`s巧克力提價多少？”這個生意的好處是，它其實每年都在漲價，而這個毫無影響產品本身的銷售量。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“萬變中不變的東西”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;問︰你在選擇投資時，會怎麼去看一個公司？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;巴菲特︰&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;我提一點“&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;品牌聯想&lt;/span&gt;”。比如我投可口可樂，這個東西會讓人&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;想到快樂&lt;/span&gt;，那麼可口可樂在奧運會時去做廣告，這個聯想就和我們的品牌相符合；又比如我投Gillette，這是一個在全球有80%幾市場份額的剃須刀品牌，代表“&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;男孩向成熟男人過渡”(Transition to Manhood)，&lt;/span&gt;那麼當美國系列棒球賽舉行時，Gillette會去做廣告，因為會有很多年輕男孩去看。我每天都在想，對一個產品和公司來說，能夠贏得消費者的心理是最重要的，你贏得消費者心理，你就贏得了市場。&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;再比如，&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;我會比較喜歡像啤酒或剃須刀這些產業，因為在這些行業中，基本沒有“無品牌”（Generic Brands）的產品，或者雜牌東西對有品牌商品的威脅非常有限。這樣，產業的持續性會比較強，而通常而言，這些有品牌產品的“護城河”也更高，更不容易被別人攻破。相比而言，我的See`s 巧克力生意就會更容易受到&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;雜牌競爭&lt;/span&gt;，我就指望那些買了雜牌巧克力的丈夫在送給妻子時說︰“親愛的，我買了便宜貨……”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;（笑）&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;問︰你為什麼不投科技類的產業？現在，科技公司非常多，發展也很快。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;巴菲特︰&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;它不是我的優勢。對科技公司認識最深刻的人，我可能在全世界的前一千、前一萬名都排不到。我很清楚自己的優勢，世界上有成千上萬個公司，我一般會把公司分為三類︰“好的公司”、“不好的公司”，以及“很難的公司”。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;好的公司、不好的公司，是我花半天時間就能夠看出來的，而那些花了半天時間看不出來的，我也不會強迫自己花半個多月時間去看。我不會強迫自己花費很多時間在一個我不能“Figure out”的公司上。我不是天才，但是我在某一些領域比別人更聰明更有見解。我覺得對一個人來說，最重要的，就是呆在那些你有優勢的領域，不要隨便走到別的領域去，你一定要有“Focus”，要“Stay Around”。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;再舉一個例子是口香糖的生意。這個世界發展再快、科技進步再快，大家對口香糖的需要是不會變的。這一點，連我的朋友比爾蓋茨都同意。我從來在投資中都是找“萬變中不變”的東西，這樣能把風險降低。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;問︰很多人在做投資時，情緒會受外界影響。比如可能你投的公司發生了很大波動，又比如你看到別人賺了很多錢。這些年來，你一般怎麼控制你的情緒，去進行理性投資？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;巴菲特︰有效控制情緒，能夠讓我的投資收益再提高30%。（笑）這一點，的確非常重要，我也得益於呆在奧馬哈這個小鎮，因為這是一個相對不受外界影響的地方，沒有什麼豪華餐廳，也沒有什麼大的Shopping Mall，非常安靜。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我想，你每天進辦公室時，去看和分析那些信息和資料，很重要的一點，&lt;strong&gt;即要保持一個&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;穩定情緒&lt;/span&gt;和清楚的&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;思維框架&lt;/span&gt;。&lt;/strong&gt;可能是同樣一個事實，但由於你情緒的波動，可能會產生一些影響，所以最重要的是，保持“穩定性”。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我覺得作為一個好的投資者必須有兩點︰第一，必須要有一定智力（Intelligence），幸虧不是需要很多的智力（笑）；另一點就是你這個人的脾氣、個性（Temperament）是要符合這件事，你要能相對保持一個穩定情緒。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“他們瘋了”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;問︰你對金融危機後美國政府經濟政策的一些看法是？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;巴菲特︰金融危機產生了一些很不好的影響。當時金融危機時，大家都已不太在乎每個人的信用和質量到底怎麼樣，你自己的信用和質量已不重要，更重要的是，別人如何認為你的信用和質量，因為那是非常恐慌的時候，沒人真正會去花時間想一個公司的能力和價值，比如這個公司以後有沒有能力把錢還給我等。你可以信用記錄很好，但是我作為銀行的話，我就是不相信，而你也無法證明給我。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我對金融危機後美國政府在經濟政策上的一些看法是，美國政府應使用一些更有力（Aggressive）的稅收政策，不然很難持續下去。好比你看我們公司，我們雇員的年薪有賺6萬-80萬美金不等，他們平均交的稅是34%所得稅，但我自己卻只交16%的稅，因為我很多錢是透過投資賺來，稅比較低，如果你是工資的話，所得稅就比較高。但是我自己都覺得，我交這麼一點稅是不夠的。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;問︰你對現在的中國怎麼看，有沒有想過在中國有更多投資？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;巴菲特︰我對中國從來都是特別有信心的，我覺得中國的增長不是一時半會的一個虛像，而是一個實實在在、持續性的東西。中國有非常聰明、非常勤奮的人，美國也有非常勤奮的人，但在過去50年中，美國比中國發展要快很多，是因為以前美國有一個更好體制能把人的潛力充分發揮，但是我看到，現在的中國也已經有一個比較好的體制，能把人的潛力充分發揮。這是一件不可思議的事，這個力量太大了。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我這里說的體制差異是指，你是更鼓勵那些天生繼承的產業、皇帝的孩子還是去鼓勵真正努力工作的人，那些真正優秀的人是否能獲得機會。從這點而言，中國還有更多的人的潛力可以釋放出來。我與比爾?蓋茨是在1995年第一次去的中國。在這15年中，中國整個經濟經歷了非常大的一個成長，未來路上可能還會有一些小挫折，但我覺得，中國未來的增長是不容置疑的，這個增長主要還是來自於把人的潛力完全發揮出來。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我在中國主要投過兩個公司。一個是中石油，還有一個是比亞迪。我投中石油時，沒有看股價，我通常都是先不看股價，因為怕受影響。我先是看了中石油的基本資料，自己做了一個估值，然後發現公司值1000億美金，但當時中石油股票所反映出的價值只是350億美金，等於說可以翻三倍，於是，我就買了中國政府能夠允許的最多限數。後來有一次，中石油還專門派了一個投資者關系部的人過來講，因為我是一個很大買家，但其實，我什麼也沒有听懂（笑）。一年半前，我投了比亞迪，比亞迪有非常多的技術工程師，他們的CEO王傳福是一個不平凡（Extraordinary）的人，我也是很看好他們的管理層。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;問︰你怎麼看目前的中美關系。&lt;br /&gt;巴菲特︰我感覺，美國政府有一撮人故意拿中國當“替罪羊”（Scapegoat），這簡直是瘋狂、不可理喻的。其實說到底，我覺得全世界人民都應該希望中國更繁榮。你想想，難道有誰希望一個有佔全世界人口20%左右的國家永遠都那麼窮，然後這個國家再擁有核武器的話，難道這樣的世界是大家想要的嗎？我覺得未來世界最大的一個危險是，第三世界或窮凶極惡的國家或一小撮人擁有核武器或生化武器。所以，如果世界其他地方的人生活水平能夠提高的話，其實對所有人都是一樣的，是好事。我的感覺是，未來一年中美國政府可能會有一撮人，可能希望盡量把這個問題弄大，可能出於一些政治目的，希望找一些替罪羊。我希望你們這些年輕人在對待這些問題時，能有一個自己的“過濾器”，不要隨便被這些東西影響。&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;20100427:

&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;美國線上收購史 失敗連連2010-4-19&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;美國線上（AOL, America Online）日前&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;宣布計畫關閉&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;或出售旗下社交網站Bebo，AOL（見圖，法新社）在2年前以8.5億美元現金買下在英國大獲成功的Bebo，如今卻落得慘澹收場的局面。Bebo的失敗又喚起人們對AOL雄心萬丈的收購史與數個合併失敗的案例。AOL在發給員工的備忘錄中指出，目前公司無法繼續融資以支持Bebo，將盡快尋求其他企業收購Bebo的可能，並在5月底前完成評估報告。Bebo業務下滑原因包括AOL去年的管理階層調整、投資不足與競爭對手Facebook的快速成長。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;2008年AOL花了8.5億美元買下Bebo社交網站時，希望在美國複製英國的成功經驗，而當時Facebook的聲勢還沒這麼壯大。不過一年後就傳出了出售Bebo的傳言，分析師表示，AOL對社交網站經驗不足，對網站的前景一片茫然，Bebo失去了創新精神。&lt;/strong&gt;AOL收購失敗的經驗不勝枚舉，在2001年以1,060億美元收購時代華納（Time Warner）之舉更被稱為&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;史上最失敗的&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;收購案。時代華納為世界首屈一指的媒體娛樂公司，旗下包括電視、電影與出版等事業群。十年前，在網際網路泡沫高峰時，時代華納和美國線上這兩家全球重量級資訊企業宣布合併，成為資訊媒體產業盛事。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;去年12月&lt;/span&gt;兩家龍頭公司宣布分手，時代華納分拆美國線上，成為兩家獨立的公司。在AOL收購時代華納時，AOL市值高達1,630億美元，分手之時，AOL市值只有34億美元，僅相當於&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;最初的2.1%&lt;/span&gt;。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;這次收購的失敗，還使得當時的AOL董事長史蒂夫凱斯（Steve Case）在2003年黯然辭去職務。股東不但對手中股票價值2年中縮水75%大為光火，也批評管理階層驕傲自大、管理不善。AOL與時代華納自合併初期，&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;廣告量就一路下滑&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;，2002年更爆發會計財務醜聞，美國政府要求調查AOL時代華納會計入帳方式，讓公司營運蒙上一層陰影。AOL收購通訊軟體元老ICQ也是挫敗連連，日前傳出ICQ尋找新買主的消息。&lt;br /&gt;20100420: 廣告產業出現結構性變化. 被動式廣告怎麼可能贏過主動式廣告.&lt;br /&gt;ICQ最早由三位以色列年輕人所創立，1996年12月推出時，是當時世界成長最快的網路通訊工具，六個星期內的下載人數就超過30萬人，半年後用戶超過了100萬人。AOL在1998年斥資2.87億美元買下ICQ時，用戶約有1,200萬人，目前專家估計ICQ的出售價格為2億美元。&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;ICQ在經過十多年後的經營，身價不但沒有成長，還落得待價而沽的命運&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;，令人不勝唏噓。分析師表示，ICQ被收購後，效益沒有好好發揮，無法吸引足夠顧客帶動收入成長，被後來的競爭者趕上，出售ICQ反而對AOL更有價值。曾經被ICQ指控抄襲的中國騰訊也有意收購ICQ以拓展海外版圖，騰訊所發展的類似通訊軟體QQ，在中國有廣大佔有率。&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;l          透過通路 鴻海客戶可省下9%毛利【經濟日報╱記者李立達／台北報導】&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;鴻海通路事業群董事長&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;胡國輝&lt;/span&gt;昨（22）日表示，國際資訊科技（IT）品牌到大陸通路上架，有個「怪異」現象，要從國代、省代等層層代理而下，總計有四層，若是透過鴻海通路，將節省&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;至少6%到9%&lt;/span&gt;的毛利。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;胡國輝指出，鴻海沒有品牌，純為製造代工，因此不會與客戶發生衝突，協助客戶銷售，可為客戶節省時間，也能節省客戶產品代理的成本。胡國輝分析，在中國第一級至第三級城市的大型電子專賣店，成長最快速，大型電子專賣店去年的銷售市占率約17%，2013年時將增至40%，因此鴻海與麥德隆合作搶攻此塊市場。胡國輝指出，中國大型賣場仍集中在第一至第三級城市，隨中國第四至第六級城市快速發展，鴻海董事長郭台銘發想提議「萬馬奔騰」計畫，協助有意歸鄉的鴻海中國員工返鄉開設小型賣場。鴻海有意從研發到銷售端，提供客戶一條龍服務；不過市場質疑，品牌客戶恐擔憂從此受制於鴻海；胡國輝表示，品牌客戶會透過不同通路來分散風險，且鴻海僅是提供服務的一環，與客戶為雙贏策略。&lt;br

必將水土不服2010年4月16日&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;近日，Facebook進入國內的消息被傳的沸沸揚揚的，國內企業各自擔憂市場越發難行，就連眾多SNS插件研發公司對此事都有不同程度的壓力影響。Facebook入化真的會給SNS市場來帶危險嗎？game城認為，Facebook的洋槍洋炮的確在世界聞名，但是不一定在國內會順風順水很可能水土不服。有媒體曝光，Facebook的進入眾多大型的企業比較看好，如百度、騰訊等企業。然而，百度他自身缺乏sns社區的信心，想借助Facebook來一舉成名。而媒體分析稱Facebook入華有兩條主要途徑，除了成立合資公司，還可借助合作、收購的形式。有傳聞稱，百度正在和Facebook談合資，而之前也曾傳言後者希望和騰訊進行談判。不過，百度正在發力貼吧，如和Facebook建合資公司多少會打壓貼吧的熱情，百度是一種考慮自己前景各懷鬼胎的做法，所以Facebook在中國市場更可能同騰訊展開合作。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;而騰訊佈局海外市場的最新舉措中，似乎就為與Facebook之間的合作打下了伏筆。與俄羅斯投資公司Digital Sky Technologies(以下簡稱「DST」)簽訂認購協議，根據認購協議，DST將向騰訊子公司發行及配售共8114股普通股，涉資約3億美元。騰訊將通過投資者獲得DST公司10.26%的經濟利益。值得注意的是，DST曾以1億收購了Facebook的3.5%股份，也可以說Facebook將會與騰訊有群帶關係，合作可能性將會最大。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;業內分析，Facebook如此大張旗鼓進入國內市場，可見並不是簡簡單單的普通合作，並不能把合資企業的想法排斥在外。暴雪《魔獸世界》的事情不得不讓我們想到合資公司在國內不能成立，首先是政策不允許。所以Facebook合資企業的路是行不通的。如果轉為收購模式，互聯網一直是國家扶持的行業，從三網聯合似乎能感觸到國家對互聯網的重視。其後又有眾多國家隊的進入，相關部門明文規定扶持原創，那麼Facebook是否將會遭受政策的排斥呢？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;正如近期，康盛創想CEO戴志康認為該開發商可能在國外掙到錢了，但是在國內不一定能掙錢。從國內近幾百萬個應用程序中，比較是對Facebook進入中國並不看好。戴志康稱：首先，在幾十萬個應用列表裡沒人找到自己開發的應用。「你可能在國外掙2000美元在中國掙2000元，但是你在國外要花1500美元打廣告，還得要考慮花國內幾倍的價格租服務器。」並且認為Facebook之所以不收分成，是因為在廣告裡面已經收取，甚至比例比50%還要多。「你還要考慮當地是否支持信用卡買點卡，而且一扣手續費就是20-30%，最後你會發現為Facebook開發應用程序不太賺錢。」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;除此以外，game城認為中國有句俗話，強龍難壓地頭蛇，SNS社區在中國有51、開心、人人網，也有本土的研發商。並且在國外同樣的產品2000美金在國內只能是2000人民幣，成本、開支，曾經2萬美金一月的員工是否能承受2萬每月的人民幣的轉變？再者國內的用戶的忠誠度不高，喜歡聚堆並且普遍素質不高這與外國市場有著很大的區別。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Google的退出似乎見證了國內的政策與國外的政策有著諸多的差異，成本投入、商品價格、政策扶持等等都會影響到一個外企進入國內的成功。另外，國內眾多已經成熟的企業也將給予排斥。國內講究的是一個團體，一個產業是一個團體，該團體不受政策的管制的話很容易被產業所淘汰。因此，game城認為Facebook入華雖然攜帶洋槍洋炮陣容強大，但是，會因為環境導致水土不服。業內人士表示Facebook不瞭解國內環境的盲目的進入很可能會成為第2個google。&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;20100417:

The New York-based company said it earned $140.4 million, or $1.10 per share, compared with $31.1 million, or 25 cents per share, a year earlier when the company suffered one-time charges that reduced earnings by 56 cents per share. Sales for the period ending Jan. 31 hit $981.4 million, up 17% from $837.6 million in the year-ago quarter. Same-store sales, a key measure of retail performance, jumped 11% in the quarter, boosted by a 22% increase at Tiffany ( TIF - news - people )'s flagship store in Manhattan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In spite of its year-over-year gains, Tiffany still fell short of expectations. Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters predicted earnings of $1.13 per share on sales of $970.9 million. On news of the miss, shares of Tiffany dropped $1.64, or 3.5% to $45.62 in Monday morning trading. For the full-year of 2010, Tiffany expects to earn between $2.45 and $2.50 per share with sales up 11% to $3 billion. Analysts are predicting earnings of $2.43 on sales of $2.9 billion. Though Tiffany missed his forecast for the quarter, Stifel Nicolaus analyst David Schick says he "adds new pause for thought given recent luxury group outperformance and new health care legislation with now higher tax expectations going forward."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, Schick notes that Tiffany fits well into his longer-term thesis that "slower personal consumption growth and growing income inequality will benefit mega-box aggregators competing on price (like Wal-Mart ( WMT - news - people ), Target ( TGT - news - people ), Costco ( COST - news - people ), and Amazon ( AMZN - news - people )) and smaller-box retailers that are better equipped to service high-end consumers (like Tiffany and Sotheby's ( BID - news - people )) at the expense of medium to big-box retailers that are selling increasingly commoditizable products."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Other luxury retailers were rising despite the weakness in Tiffany Monday, which was down 3.1% to $45.79. Coach ( COH - news - people ) ticked up 42 cents, or 1.1%, to $38.28; Nordstrom ( JWN - news - people ) gained 52 cents, or 1.3%, to $40.94; and Saks ( SKS - news - people ) jumped 15 cents, or 1.8%, to $8.44.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3345907756059445902-8040290695520646900?l=aaphoneman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aaphoneman.blogspot.com/feeds/8040290695520646900/comments/default' title='張貼意見'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3345907756059445902&amp;postID=8040290695520646900' title='0 個意見'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3345907756059445902/posts/default/8040290695520646900'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3345907756059445902/posts/default/8040290695520646900'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aaphoneman.blogspot.com/2010/03/2010-week-14.html' title='2010 Week 13'/><author><name>阿尼</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16386106581617903762</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345907756059445902.post-309910933101145669</id><published>2010-03-22T22:21:00.008+08:00</published><updated>2010-04-04T11:10:06.267+08:00</updated><title type='text'>2010 Week 12</title><content type='html'>l Report: Ad spending fell 12.3 percent last year March 17, 2010&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Advertising spending fell 12.3 percent last year as the economic slump continued to have marketers &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;curb expenses&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. According to a report Wednesday from Kantar Media, which measures advertising spending, overall ad spending in 2009 was $125.3 billion. There were declines in print media while Internet display advertising was one of a few sectors to post gains. Television media spending dropped 9.5 percent, while magazine marketing spending dropped 17.4 percent. Radio spending fell 20.3 percent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marketers have been pulling back on their ad spending as shoppers spend carefully amid the recession. By category, the automotive industry was the top spender, although the nearly $11 billion it spent was 23.4 percent less than the previous year. The industry has been among the worst hit in the recession. Kantar noted that fourth-quarter auto advertising figures were down 0.9 percent. General Motors, which left bankruptcy protection in July, spent 1.3 percent more on advertising last year and was the only automaker to fall in the top ten advertisers. Procter &amp;amp; Gamble Co. spent the most at $2.71 billion, although that's a 15.6 percent drop from 2008. Verizon Communications Inc. cut its spending 6.9 percent to $2.2 billion, though it was still the second-biggest spender. Wal-Mart Stores Inc., which has been benefiting in the recession as consumers seek out bargains, increased its spending 35.4 percent to $1.17 billion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;l 國信維持金證股份 (600446-CN)

Buffett）加持的中國大陸汽車製造商比亞迪（HK-1211）公佈去年盈餘增加近3倍，中國大陸政府祭出補貼優惠，激勵消費者搶購比亞迪F3小型車款。根據彭博報導，比亞迪刊發公告，去年淨利，由2008年的10.2億元人民幣激增至37.9億元人民幣（折合5.55億美元）。營收大增47%，達395億元人民幣。F3車型榮登中國大陸去年最暢銷車款，比亞迪因此成為中國大陸成長最快速的車廠，去年銷量狂飆162%，達44萬8397輛。中國大陸已躍居全球首大汽車市場。中國大陸去年整體汽車需求大躍進，激增46%，改寫紀錄新高。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20100322: 2008年應該有一些一次性的損失.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;北京交銀國際分析師尹國輝指出：「隨著需求增長趨緩，比亞迪與其他車廠今年營收購獲利恐放緩。」 比亞迪是一家電池廠，2003年才進軍汽車市場。比亞迪本月與德國豪華轎車製造商戴姆勒 (Daimler AG DE-DAI) 同意攜手在中國大陸產銷電動車。比亞迪看好已開發市場對替代能源汽車需求殷切，也將揮軍歐美市場。比亞迪去年5月與歐洲最大車廠福斯汽車 (Volkswagen AG DE-VOW) 簽署另一份電動車協議。雙方計劃在油電混合車與鋰電池電動車等領域進行合作。交銀國際分析師尹國輝表示：「即使電動車銷售未來不至成為主流，比亞迪憑著在電池製造的優勢長期有望受惠。」比亞迪明年將在西歐推出E6車型與其他混合動力車，志在成為第一家在西歐出售電動車的中國大陸車廠。比亞迪發言人林密於3月8日指出，比亞迪最終將在歐洲設計及生產汽車。&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;比亞迪董事長王傳福1月份透露，今年將啟動美國銷售。比亞迪第一輛E6車型今年稍晚將登陸美國。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:0;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;l 利多先反映 醫療保健股看俏2010-03-23&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;美國健保改革法案周日在眾議院過關，帶動醫療保健類股「升」勢。雷格梅森（Legg Mason）公司的基金經理人米勒（Bill Miller）指出，在健保改革的立法不確定性獲排除後，便宜的美國醫療保健股現在應可在未來幾個月有亮麗表現。管理雷格梅森資本管理價值信託基金48億美元資產的米勒說，這項健保改革的政治利益將先行反映，諸如較高的稅負等較利空的層面將較晚發酵，因此較便宜的醫療保健股將在未來幾個月有較好的表現。米勒是總部位於波士頓的雷格梅森公司董事長兼投資長。周一他在香港舉行的一場記者會上做了前述表示。由於他是近代唯一一位締造連續15年操作績效打敗標準普爾500種股價指數的基金經理人，多年來他對市場的看法也一直被許多人奉為圭臬。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;米勒目前手上的投資組合中，可見以市值搶下美國最大健保公司寶座的聯合健康集團（UnitedHealth Group），以及安泰人壽的股票。米勒說，&lt;strong&gt;他的另一個首選是資訊科技股，目前資訊科技股占其旗鑑基金投資額比例接近28％。該基金投資的科技股包括&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;IBM、惠普&lt;/span&gt;與思科系統等營收有很大的比例來自美國以外市場的公司。&lt;/strong&gt;米勒還看好高盛、JP摩根與富國銀行等美國大型金融公司的股票。他說，儘管這些大型金融公司之前遭到金融危機重創，但因金融業競爭&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;已不像過去&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;那麼激烈，股價可望上揚。米勒說，金融業今年的盈餘將大幅成長。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;l 善良、聰明、謙虛的交集，經營者的人格典範採訪 / 陳芳毓‧謝明彧 撰文 / 謝明彧&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;波克夏‧海瑟威（Berkshire Hathaway）股東會舉辦的地點，位在美國內布拉斯加州（Nebraska）的城市奧馬哈（Omaha），這也是巴菲特（Warren Buffett）成長的故鄉。走在奧馬哈，你會看到井然有序的街道、維護良好的建築，即使市中心也有高樓，但基本上就是個傳統美國城鎮，安靜和平到近乎無聊，與大都會的繁華更是完全扯不上邊。但這個看似平凡的地方城市，其實有著輝煌的歷史。從地圖上來看，奧馬哈正位於美國中心點的位置，它原本是美國鐵路由東往西的終點站，可說是美國東岸通往中西部大荒野的門戶，也是兩地物資的集散中心，過去曾是全美最大的牲畜市場和肉類加工城市。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;即使今日其交通樞紐的地位已被取代，但依然有不少歷史悠久的知名公司總部設立於此，所以，當地居民的素質和經濟能力都很高。即使成為世界首富豪，巴菲特依然選擇居住在奧馬哈，因為這個繁榮而不張揚的都市，和巴菲特低調、沉穩與和平的個性十分相似，但也如同這城市深厚的內涵，深入接觸，你會在沉穩外貌下，發覺巴菲特不時顯露的獨特睿智與機敏。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;敦厚的長者，耐心而貼心&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2007年當我第一次前往波克夏股東會時，由於主辦單位的現場管理比較鬆散，當巴菲特在股東會舉辦場地的體育館四處參觀遊走時，所有的記者都可以包圍上去，我也因此有機會能直接請教他近十分鐘。在巴菲特與記者的問答中，最讓我印象深刻的，是他回答問題之快速精準。不像一般企業高層常會技巧性地閃避問題，以模稜兩可的回答應付質問。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;巴菲特不只講話快，反應更快，面對記者各種詢問，總能準確地挑出問題核心，給予明確直接的解答，&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;抓重點的能力&lt;/span&gt;之高，令人為之側目。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;而面對他無法回答的問題，如投資項目的細部內容，他也不會虛應故事，而會直接請知道細節的其他人代為回答。尤其，當他面對一些英文不是那麼好，或問題不夠明確的記者時，身為如此重量級的人物，巴菲特卻不會顯現任何不耐，更不會挑剔有人問出笨問題，反過來還會幫忙釐清問題，抓出對方想問的要點，然後妥善回答。&lt;strong&gt;就像一位聰明又忠厚的老先生，巴菲特&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;以如此層級&lt;/span&gt;，卻能展現出體貼的態度，是我在高階經理人上&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;極少看見&lt;/span&gt;的情形。&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;股東會，像和樂融融的大家庭&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;同樣，從股東會現場，也可以感受到巴菲特的個性。即使在巴菲特投資表現較差的2008年，股東會也不見台灣股東會上常見的「質詢」場面，而是和樂融融的「一家人」氣氛。每年股東大會，現場都會播映一段巴菲特女兒幫他拍的搞笑影片，帶動全場氣氛。例如2009年股東會上，就以前一年的市場環境和投資失利做為劇情，巴菲特走到自家賣場中看看狀況，走累了坐下來休息，然後就被賣場經理逮到，說「你是負責人，怎麼可以在這裡偷懶，這樣不對，怪不得你會虧錢！」於是巴菲特就只好自願留下來，幫賣場叫賣床墊。在這些詼諧橋段的最後，&lt;strong&gt;有一個更重要的部分。巴菲特會將旗下公司&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;所有CEO的&lt;/span&gt;照片，配上說明文字與配樂，像跑馬燈一樣依序放出來，然後對著全場股東說，「因為他們的努力，讓我們今年可以在這邊慶祝我們的股東會，所以我們要感謝他們。&lt;/strong&gt;」透過公開地表達自己對員工的感謝，展現出敦厚的大家長風範。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;實踐信念、言行合一的老闆&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;這種低調但敦厚的個性，也可以從巴菲特的慈善事業上看得到。巴菲特歷年來捐出金額龐大的慈善捐款，但除了2006年6月宣布將捐出85%、價值370億美元的資產給5家基金會，創下美國有史以來最高紀錄的慈善捐贈外，你幾乎看不見他任何相關的公開儀式或表揚活動。在行善的同時，卻以超低調的態度，讓別人幾乎忽略他的善行。這點讓我很感動。巴菲特的財富來自於他對投資資訊的專心研究，就算他不捐錢，也無損於他股神的評價。但就像他曾說過的，「世界給我的，比我付出的更多。」觀察他的慈善事業，你會發現那是他「真心想這麼做」，想要如同感謝員工般，對社會做出一些貢獻與回饋，而且不求聲名上的榮耀。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;採訪過國內外很多企業家，有很多人會讓你在第一次見面時，覺得「他實在很厲害」，但時間愈久、了解愈深，卻會發現那些豐功偉業的背後，其實隱藏著某些「居心不良」：&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;不管是對部屬的感謝，或是從事公義慈善與社會責任，都只是希望營造出某種正面形象的「沽名釣譽」。&lt;strong&gt;但巴菲特不是。你&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;愈了解他，愈會&lt;/span&gt;覺得他人如其行、言行合一，始終堅守某些價值來行事。&lt;/strong&gt;就像他對於旗下的公司，給予管理階層非常大的自主權，但唯一的要求是品德優良，不做不道德的事。面對投資或收購標的，如果他對經營團隊有所遲疑，即使那家公司再賺錢，他也不會考慮。「善良、聰明又謙虛」，是我在這幾年接觸與研究巴菲特後最大的感想。世界上的成功者很多，具有上述單一優點的人也不少，但要同時兼具卻幾乎不可能。在這個天下沒有英雄的年代，巴菲特，依然是個典範。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20100323: 這篇文章令人感動得有點想哭. 儘管當我們開始從事這一行後不久, 卻發覺BRK已經長得太大, 恐怕已經拉不到啥衣尾時 (還是要感謝Buffett的WFC, 是我們去年賺最多的一檔股票), 然而在情感上仍然令人由衷的喜愛這位老先生.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;EXPD, WU已搞懂, PRIORITY Downgrading.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

expect &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663366;"&gt;a choppy Wall Street&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; in 2010 in the wake of last year's run-up, fund manager Richard Sherry at Kayne Anderson Rudnick believes protection can be found in a concentrated portfolio of solid businesses. Sherry, manager of the Virtus quality large-cap value fund at Kayne Anderson Rudnick, says a diversified, but smaller portfolio of 20 to 35 names comprising high-quality businesses spread across sectors will outperform in rising markets and minimize losses in a downturn. Kayne Anderson, a wholly owned subsidiary of Virtus Investment Partners, company has $4 billion in assets. Virtus collectively has $25.4 billion in assets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q: ARE YOU PROTECTED AGAINST A CHOPPY MARKET THIS YEAR? A: Obviously in 2008 being a tough year, we did (have) protection on the downside. With the market down about 37 percent we were down 31 percent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As we've come into this year, it's going to get more choppy, the market is in a bit of a range. We tend to do better when the focus is on quality and risk-aversion. But what we are going to see is the businesses that we own, the higher quality businesses that don't have to worry so much about access to the capital markets, that are generally self-funding, that have some kind of competitive advantage -- whether it's a strong brand name, a low cost position, a network effect, some kind of advantage -- those businesses will do well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q: WHAT IS YOUR BEST INVESTMENT THIS YEAR? WHY? DO YOU STILL OWN IT?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;TJX Companies Inc (TJX.N),&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; the discount retailer, a business that we like, we've had our eye on it for a number of years. We thought it was somewhat expensive, and we purchased it back in October of 2008 when a lot of things all of a sudden got very cheap and very attractively priced, so we added to that position at that time. Coca-Cola Co (KO.N), 3M Co (MMM.N) as well. But that has been our best performer year to date and we still own it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q: WHAT WAS YOUR WORST INVESTMENT? WHY? DO YOU STILL OWN IT? A: &lt;strong&gt;Western Union Co (WU.N), which we still own, with &lt;span style="color:#663366;"&gt;the recent pullback&lt;/span&gt; we added to it, we still think longer term there is a lot of positive fundamentals on the business. There was some short-term disappointment in some of the numbers but overall the numbers were pretty good. This is a business with very strong returns on the capital it employs despite everything. Their operating earnings grew 4-and-a-half percent last year. We just used that opportunity to add to that position.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q: DO YOU LOOK FOR COMPANIES WITH RECOGNIZABLE BRAND NAMES?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A: Brand names as something that is a characteristic of quality, Coca-Cola, that is one way to do it. TJX is sort of a low-cost producer in the retail segment. It's going to be very difficult for Macy's (M.N) or any of these department stores to beat them on price in the long-term. Short term, yes -- if they want to clear out some inventory and they did that at the end of 2008 -- they can. But you go to a TJX store relative to a Macy's, it's a world of difference, but it gives them that advantage that is very sustainable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Western Union, a company that has been a little bit down this year, but you've got &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;the network effect&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; where you've got all these branches everywhere around the globe, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;very difficult to replicate&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Every time you add a branch somewhere it makes it a stronger proposition for the customer and then the more customers you have, the stronger it is for someone to want to have a branch with you, and that sort of network effect builds on itself. That is why you have the very strong returns and margins that you have.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q: ARE THERE ANY PARTICULAR SECTORS YOU SEE DOING WELL -- RETAILERS VERSUS DISCOUNT STORES, FOR EXAMPLE?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A: It's not so much the discount guys, it's the business model. The fact that they have that low-cost advantage and it is somewhat difficult to replicate. A lot of our businesses as we screen through, we get a lot of consumer staples businesses -- Clorox Corp (CLX.N), HJ Heinz Co (HNZ.N), Kimberly-Clark Corp (KMB.N) -- these are just good businesses. A little bit more mature, but they just reinvest the cash, get a very strong return and they share that with shareholders, with what tend to be higher than average payout ratios.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q: DO YOU THINK THE TREND WILL BE TO INVEST UP THE MARKET CAP SCALE THIS YEAR?&lt;br /&gt;A: We give ourselves flexibility. We aren't going to be flexible in terms of quality. If (large-cap) is where the better value lies, we have the opportunity to go there. Today I find more value in large cap. You go back a number of years, large cap stocks were expensive, so after a number of years of being a little expensive, now they are cheaper than the market and that is where we are finding value today.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;WAP Portforlio Complements: healthcare, logistics, DLB, BEN&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;0700HK股利發那麼一點, 那麼多白花花的銀子要拿去做甚麼？&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;歐特克2010年度市場策略：綠能、3D、品牌設計力上網時間: 2010年03月18日&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2010年市場景氣復甦在望，&lt;strong&gt;全球2D及3D數位設計軟體供應商&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;歐特克 (Autodesk )&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; 日前在台發表年度市場策略；延續2009年「設計．決勝未來」之主軸，今年將鎖定綠能、3D技術及品牌設計力等方向，透過「Designed in Taiwan」產業推動策略的布局及實際作為，突顯設計軟實力在建築工程、製造、傳媒暨娛樂等各產業加值鏈中的重要性，並藉由積極結盟國內產、官、學界，共同驅動台灣產業競爭力之提升。為追求企業營利成長，國內企業近年間紛自代工製造 (OEM) 轉型設計製造 (ODM) 或進一步的品牌製造 (OBM)，根據工業局於去年底的統計指出，國內製造業從事ODM及OBM的比例，已分別提升至31%和42%，顯見製造業價值鏈轉往高值化方向發展，而其中，獨特的設計創意，則是烘托自家產品自國際市場中脫穎而出的重要關鍵。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;歐特克全球資深副總裁暨亞太區總裁Patrick Williams指出：「自2010年初以來，全球經濟可見逐步復甦，其中尤以綠能及3D技術市場的成長力道最為強勁可期。為能搶占市場先機，企業必須擁有『創新設計力』，以占市場優勢，而歐特克憑藉著對消費者需求及市場脈動的洞察力，以及現有廣泛且功能強大的設計軟體組合，將可協助企業用戶提升其邁向自有品牌的設計動能。」在2009年「設計．決勝未來」的策略布局下，歐特克於亞太地區包括台灣、中國、日本、韓國等地，皆扮演促進國家產業競爭力的舵手角色，並展現優異的成績。在台灣市場，歐特克透過本身在數位設計領域長年累積的經驗和先進技術，結合產官學界、投入大量資源，以促進台灣設計產業的發展與再升級，目前已協助眾多客戶實現創意構想，其中包括：&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;˙今年度最受矚目的國片《艋舺》，採用歐特克傳媒娛樂解決方案，讓畫面更加逼真、唯美；&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;˙建築方面，則透過BIM解決方案，協助客戶將工程建設的服務範圍漸次向後延伸，成為從設計、施工到使用管理等全生命周期的連貫性工程資訊整合服務，包括台灣世曦工程顧問公司的「南港經貿園區甲子園」建案、台鐵車站「舊鐵道．新都心」的改建工程，將大型公共工程建構於BIM平台，積極邁向3D視覺化設計服務，以基於永續經營企業理念打造世界級建築景觀；&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;˙製造業部分包括佳世達、英業達、羅技、鴻海和仁寶等台灣大型3C企業，皆在歐特克製造業解決方案的協助下，先行體驗產品設計，從而減少時間和成本、加速產品上市，讓「台灣設計」如虎添翼。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;歐特克台灣區總經理黃志銘表示：「為顯著提升台灣的設計競爭力、落實『Better by Design』的目標規劃，今年度起，歐特克將擴大支持台灣企業邁向品牌製造的設計動能發展，其中在產官學合作與結盟方面，將首度與台灣世曦工程顧問公司合作，共同捐贈BIM相關軟體至包括國立台灣大學、國立中央大學、國立台灣科技大學等大專院校，並提供推廣所需之教材與案例，進而開啟產學合作之最佳典範；此外，也將持續推動包括巨匠、聯成、學承等Autodesk授權培訓中心和各大專院校的合作計畫等，進一步扎根專業人才的培育。」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;同時，歐特克也將加強與台灣創意設計中心、資策會數位教育研究所等單位合作，為國內設計師引進更多國際資源及實際經驗，幫助台灣持續與世界接軌。而延續去年與聯強國際的合作，今年雙方再度攜手，投入豐厚資源以推動台灣設計力之提升、進而加強產業競爭力。歐特克的最佳化數位設計解決方案，涵括建築工程、製造、傳媒暨娛樂等領域，旗下2011最新版本軟體將於四月起陸續推出，協助全球設計師、建築師、工程師和數位美術師面對3D設計和綠能產業崛起的所有挑戰；同時，綠建築設計的指標軟體Autodesk Ecotect Analysis也將於今年度首度登台，讓台灣的建築「綠」意盎然。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20100320: CAD軟體. 養大專業人員的習慣. 轉換成本.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;美科技5大富爸爸2010-03-18工商時報【記者顏嘉南／綜合外電報導】&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;華爾街日報周二報導，美國科技業的貧富差距懸殊，銀彈充足的企業利用資金優勢，拓展新的事業領域，並鞏固事業版圖，讓中小型企業無法與之競爭。尤其，思科、微軟、蘋果、Google和甲骨文，堪稱美國科技業5大富爸爸。根據Capital IQ的資料，在標準普爾500指數中，思科、微軟、蘋果、Google和甲骨文和其他5家大型科技業者，在過去兩年額外累積了685億美元的現金，然其他65家科技公司合計，僅增加135億美元。這些富裕的少數企業在大家縮衣節食時，大舉投資新事業或鞏固本業。過去1年甲骨文斥資74億美元將硬體大廠昇陽收入麾下，戴爾買下Perot Systems增添科技服務，至於思科大手筆花了逾70億美元，收購逾6家公司。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在此同時，Google投注資金研發其電腦作業系統和手機，微軟為了與Google在網搜領域一較高下，花起錢來也絕不手軟，而蘋果則是斥資研發平板電腦iPad，同時買下手機廣告公司瞄準Google地盤。這些科技業富爸爸累積了可觀的資金，即便處於不景氣階段，他們仍較小型公司擁有承受風險的現金實力。麻省理工學院史隆管理學院布里喬佛森教授表示，「由於爆發信貸危機，現金為王的概念較以往更牢不可破，擁有充裕現金的公司更彰顯出穩固勢力。」科技業界已感受到這股現金分配極端的影響，部分中型的科技公司甚至放棄與大型對手競爭，不過有些企業也積極進行收購，期盼不會落後得太遠。安全軟體業者賽門鐵克執行長薩勒姆（Enrique Salem）表示，「身為中型業者，公司不打算加入戰局，追上甲骨文已經不是個可行的議題。」賽門鐵克年營收為61億美元，目前帳上有26億美元現金，相較之下，截至去年11月底，甲骨文握有208億美元的現金。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Apax傳有意併購 視訊終端大廠Polycom創07年新高2010/03/18&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;英國金融時報17日報導，英國私募基金Apax Partners自2009年11月起就開始與視訊終端領導廠商Polycom, Inc.洽談併購事宜。報導指出，Apax原本有意在3月底以前向Polycom正式提出每股37美元的收購價 (總收購價金超過30億美元)，但Polycom自11月以來漲幅超過40%，使得雙方在收購價方面遲遲無法達成共識。Polycom 17日大漲8.87%，收33.14美元，創2007年8月10日以來收盤新高；年初迄今股價漲幅達32.7%。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;思科 (Cisco) 在2009年10月1日宣布，該公司將以30億美元左右的現金收購TANDBERG所有在外流通股權。思科表示收購價為每股153.5挪威克朗，較TANDBERG前一個交易日收盤價高出11%，較過去3個月加權平均收盤價則是高出25.2%。金融時報報導指出，思科併TANDBERG的案件尚未獲得相關單位的批准。在思科宣布收購TANDBERG之後，包括Avian證券分析師Catherine Trebnick以及Cowen分析師John Marchetti都認為Polycom已經成了熱門的併購/合作對象。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Was This Accounting &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;Fudge Foreseeable&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;? By Toby Shute March 17, 2010&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Normally, SunPower (Nasdaq: SPWRA) is one of the first solar companies out of the gate each earnings season. This year, the company is bringing up the rear. That's the result of an internal investigation into accounting irregularities, as first reported by the company back in November. SunPower is set to report financial results, as well as the results of its investigation, after Thursday's market close. In the meantime, here's a question I'd like to ponder: Was the restatement predictable?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pressure to please the Street&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2002, a paper by Richardson, Tuna, and Wu titled "Predicting Earnings Management: The Case of Earnings Restatements" explored this topic. The authors operated on the assumption that, "earnings restatement firms can be characterized as firms who knowingly and intentionally engaged in earnings manipulation." Such firms are "on average high growth firms, have more frequent external financing needs, and raise larger amounts of cash."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does that sound like a sector you know? This is one reason I've long been wary of the capital-intensive solar space. Equity raises by the likes of ReneSola (NYSE: SOL), Suntech Power (NYSE: STP), and Canadian Solar (Nasdaq: CSIQ) have just been &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;relentless.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; I don't expect these companies to stop going back to the trough, either, given the need to keep expanding in order to &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;undercut&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; competitors through economies of scale. This ongoing need for financing puts a great deal of pressure on these companies to "manage" their earnings to meet or beat Wall Street expectations. This phenomenon goes well beyond solar shops, of course. Even firms as mundane as Heinz (NYSE: HNZ) have run &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;afoul&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; of generally accepted accounting principles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Top-of-the-line used dump trucks&lt;br /&gt;Does earnings management mean flat-out lying about your sales in a given period? In the most egregious cases, sure. But beyond such flagrant fudging, there's a whole world of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#6600cc;"&gt;wiggle&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; room when it comes to earnings reporting. That's because public companies report on an accrual basis, rather than a cash basis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those who skipped or snored through Accounting 101, accruals are used to recognize economic events during the period in which they occur, rather than when cash changes hands. This method of accounting, while potentially most reflective of economic reality, involves a lot of estimation. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;During the 1990s, Waste Management (NYSE: WM) took advantage of this leeway to inflate the estimated salvage value of its garbage trucks, among many other fudges. That company took a $1.7 billion restatement in 1998 -- a record at the time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Getting back to that academic paper, one of the key findings was that, "restatement firms have very large accruals in the years of alleged manipulation." This makes intuitive sense, as the more accruals you take, the further you're getting away from actual cash earnings. With estimated income and expense figures constituting a larger part of the earnings pie, you have more leeway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No clear warning&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So were there warning signs in SunPower's accrual figures through the first three quarters of 2009? Actually, no. While accruals were prominent in past years, they made up only a small fraction (generally below 10%) of reported earnings in 2009. That's true whether you use the balance sheet or cash flow-based method of calculating accruals. By this measure, you would conclude that SunPower's quality of earnings was quite high. First Solar (Nasdaq: FSLR), for example, had a considerably higher accruals ratio in the first half of 2009.&lt;br /&gt;While it certainly is a high-growth firm that's active in the capital markets, SunPower doesn't appear to quite fit the classic profile of an earnings manipulator. While this accruals ratio wouldn't have alerted us to SunPower's reported irregularities, it may lend itself to Foolish forensic analysis in the future. I'll be sure keep it in my back pocket and occasionally survey the land for potential earnings manipulators.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3345907756059445902-5378000024622867979?l=aaphoneman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aaphoneman.blogspot.com/feeds/5378000024622867979/comments/default' title='張貼意見'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3345907756059445902&amp;postID=5378000024622867979' title='0 個意見'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3345907756059445902/posts/default/5378000024622867979'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3345907756059445902/posts/default/5378000024622867979'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aaphoneman.blogspot.com/2010/03/2010-week-12.html' title='2010 Week 11'/><author><name>阿尼</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16386106581617903762</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345907756059445902.post-3706277367280222597</id><published>2010-03-08T21:58:00.008+08:00</published><updated>2010-03-14T11:55:32.670+08:00</updated><title type='text'>2010 Week 10</title><content type='html'>l          Six Things Warren Buffett's Annual Letter Didn't Say February 27, 2010&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I didn't see in the Berkshire Hathaway report:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. A more substantial discussion of succession. While he mentions it in the last few paragraphs he doesn't add any information to what we already know from prior announcements. Despite going on and on about how CEOs don't do enough risk management, the shareholders of BRK.A are left with the biggest risk of all - who will replace Warren Buffett if he were to decide to step down (unlikely) or take ill (he's 9000 years old). Part of the reason Berkshire generates such amazing profits is that Buffett, on the force of his reputation and charisma is able to secure unbelievable deals. Future CEOs (David Sokol, for instance) may be very competent but not capable of hitting the high level of networking performance that Buffett is able to do with such ease.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People pay millions for a peek into Buffett's wallet but more valuable is the 50 year old Rolodex that he's developed. A Rolodex of such high quality it probably can't be emulated ever again. Which is why it's extremely important for us to have an understanding of what reasons he has for not being more specific about a succession strategy. My one assumption is that he figures we should trust the process. He does clearly have a good managerial bench and he has said that the future manager of the company is either already in the company or "available" to the company. What does that mean?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Buffett has one folksy comment about succession in the letter:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If Charlie, I and Ajit are ever in a sinking boat – and you can only save one of us – swim to Ajit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Funny, but considering the importance of this topic to shareholders, probably not appropriate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. More discussion of his new investments. Clearly he's making a big bet on Rebublic Services (RSG), for instance. It would be valuable to understand his reasoning and the future direction these investments might take. Perhaps he doesn't want to signal too much to the remora out there about what he's intending but it would still have been interesting to see his thoughts on that industry. The last industry he piggybacked Bill Gates on was railroads. Gates had bought shares of CNI and talked Buffett into the benefits of owning railroads (Buffett has admitted he wished he had first bought into the industry when Gates first told him about it).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are we seeing the same thing in the trash industry? Gates owns 57mm shares of RSG and also some shares of Waste Management (WM). Buffett likes the wide moats offered by industries like the highly regulated trash industry. Are we going to see a similar development to Buffett's approach towards the railroads industry?&lt;br /&gt;He does state: "we normally will not talk about our investment ideas" but that doesn't mean I can't want for more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Discussion of the oil industry. Again, this is not mandatory for shareholders (like I feel #1 above is) but he's rotated in and out of Exxon (XOM) and ConocoPhillips (COP) and it would be interesting to know why. Similarly I'd like to know more of his thoughts on the healthcare industry where it looked like he was about to take a deep dive (Glaxo (GSK), Sanofi (SNY), Johnson &amp;amp; Johnson (JNJ) investments) but his energy has been more tepid since those first forays into the space.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. He's a large shareholder of Goldman Sachs (GS). His investment there was amazing. He got an excellent deal on preferred stock (much better than the government's deal at the same time) and although the investment dipped initially, the option component in his investment is now significantly in the money. However, as a shareholder of Berkshire, I'm very nervous.. Goldman is generating an extraordinary amount of heat lately. At first I thought Goldman could handle it, but now I'm not so sure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Between the backroom dealings on AIG and the media buzz about Goldman shorting Greek debt, I'm worried the heat can get too great. It's starting to remind me of the buzzing that ultimately proved to be the undoing of Arthur Andersen. They were found innocent years later but that did them no good when every client dropped them. I think GS has done no wrong in any of these situations but I'm scared of what's happening and since this is a significant investment for Berkshire, I'd like to know Buffett's take on it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. More specifics on the equity index put options. These are options with billions of potential risk that we lose if the equity indices fall a certain amount. All we know about what the strike prices are is this statement:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2009, we agreed with certain counterparties to amend six of the equity index put option contracts. The amendments reduced the related contract expiration dates between 3.5 and 9.5 years and reduced the strike prices of those contracts between 29% and 39%.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have no idea what that means or how much risk we are currently exposed to as shareholders. As opposed to #2 above, I'm not sure how it hurts Buffett to be a little more specific on this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. Municipal bond insurance. Ever since the demise of Ambac and MBIA, Berkshire Hathaway has been tiptoeing into the municipal bond insurance game. In 2009 they were second in the business but it was a distant second behind Assured Guaranty (AGO). Given all the nervousness about the potential bankruptcy of Harrisburg, PA and the nonstop media buzz about the insolvency of California and other states, it would've been nice to hear Buffett's view on this business. Again, I understand if he doesn't want to alert competitors to the opportunities here but I'd like to know what degree of risk he thinks this industry has.&lt;br /&gt;By the way, the letter was immensely satisfying in terms of what it did say but that's likely the topic of many other articles today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;l          中國大力發展低碳經濟 抑制重複建設2010/02/28&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;中國大陸國家發展和改革委員會在11屆人大常委會第13次會議提出報告表示，將從5方面採取措施大力發展綠色經濟、低碳經濟；並從3方面抑制重複建設。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;據新華社報導，發展綠色和低碳經濟的措施是：&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1、加強規劃引導，完善扶持政策。把綠色經濟、低碳經濟發展目標納入第12個5年規劃 (2011-2015)和相關產業發展規劃，加緊研制「節能環保產業發展規劃」、「新興能源產業發展規劃」、「發展低碳經濟指導意見」、「加快推行合同能源管理促進節能服務業發展的意見」等，並從財稅、金融、價格等方面制定激勵政策。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2、紮實推進節能減排，加強生態環保建設。加緊推出「固定資產投資項目節能評估和審查管理辦法」，大力發展生物質能、太陽能、地熱能、風能等再生能源，有序發展水電，積極發展核電。預計到2020年非化石能源佔一次能源消費的比重達到15%左右。同時，爭取2020年森林面積比2005年增加4000萬公頃，森林蓄積量增加13億立方公尺。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3、開展循環經濟、低碳經濟試點。編製再生金屬及再製造等重點領域循環經濟發展規劃，啟動「城市礦產」循環利用工程，做好汽車零部件再製造、秸稈綜合利用等工作，並且選擇典型地區和行業，開展低碳經濟發展示範試點。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4、建立健全科技、統計、信息 (資訊)等支撐體系。逐步建立溫室氣體監測統計、氣候變化信息 (資訊)共享平台和信息服務體系。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5、加強宣傳引導，推廣綠色、低碳生活方式和消費模式。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;至於抑制產能過剩行業盲目擴張和重複建設，淘汰落後產能的措施是：&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1、加強市場准入管理。嚴格審批鋼鐵等產能過剩行業的項目。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2、加強財政、環保、土地、金融政策與產業政策的協調配合。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3、加強信息引導，引導社會和企業的投資。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;發改委的報告表示，在淘汰落後產能等方面，已對鋼鐵、水泥、平板玻璃、煤化工、多晶矽、風力發電設備和電解鋁等行業，提出明確的要求。中國國務院常務會議近日又決定，以電力、煤炭、鋼鐵、水泥、有色金屬、焦炭、造紙、製革、印染等行業為重點，在今明兩年淘汰落後產能。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;l          湯森路透年淨利下跌35% 表現仍獲肯定2010/02/25中央社&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;資訊業巨擘湯森路透（Thomson Reuters）今天公佈的季報顯示，淨利大幅下跌，他們並且表示，期望在下半年恢復營收成長。這家在加拿大成立、總部設在紐約的財經新聞和資訊通訊社表示，第4季淨利為1億7700萬美元，下滑68%，年淨利也只有8億4400萬美元，減少35%。至於總收入方面，第4季為33億6000萬美元，下滑1% ，不過年度收入則上升11%，達到129億9000萬美元。執行長葛洛瑟（Thomas Glocer）在聲明中讚許該公司「充滿彈性的表現」，他並且表示，期盼接下來一年表現會更強勁。葛洛瑟表示：「儘管所有人都必須面對最糟糕的全球經營環境，但和前一年度相較，湯森路透去年的表現都能維持或改善，其中包括收入、潛在營運利潤和自由現金流量。」他表示：「我也非常高興，我們去年一年的淨銷售業績有重大的改善，而且第4季創紀錄的淨銷售額對整個公司而言是正面的。」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;l          理性市場神話破滅，拆穿經濟學家謊言&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;福克斯觀察歷經整個世紀的「理性市場」興衰，發現通往災難的起點，竟然是一個大膽的構思。經濟學教授們先是說服學術界，接著與華爾街合作解決金融操作難題，多年來不斷揮舞效率市場理論的旌旗，直到金融海嘯吞沒理性市場所建構的沙堡。本書是以許多觀念衍生歷程，說明經濟學教授們在過去一個世紀，如何主導「理性市場」的蓬勃興起，最終導致金融體系於新世紀初大崩盤。經濟學家約翰‧凱因斯（John Maynard Keynes）說過：「這個世界為少數人所壟斷，講求實效的人總以為自己能夠跳脫別人想法，卻經常陷入過時經濟學家建立的窠臼」，《理性市場的神話》便是由這樣一位與凱因斯同世代的學者歐文‧費雪（Irving Fisher）的故事講起。費雪在耶魯大學（Yale University）數學系獲得經濟學博士，說明他如何為經濟學貢獻出貨幣理論，不過他的諸多定見卻造成日後全面破產甚至連累家族的悲劇。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1930年代統計學和數學找到方法切入經濟市場主流，包括出身投資世家的經濟學家菲特烈．麥考利（Frederick Macaulay），可能是第一位將股市波動和丟銅板結果比較的人，進而將丟銅板的統計數據導出「人類行為並非全然的隨機，許多時候投資客會像綿羊一樣聽話」的結論。經濟學家郝爾布魯克‧霍京（Holbrook Working）的經歷更是有趣，他的博士論文探討馬鈴薯需求曲線當中的統計學特性，讓農產品期貨價格長期做為經濟學者顯著的參考數據。至於投資當中所使用的「現代定量方法」，則源自於「撲克策略」（poker strategy）與二次大戰武器的應用，哈利．馬可維茲（Harry Markowitz）提出「現代投資組合理論」（Modern Portfolio Theory），成為1990年諾貝爾（Nobel Prize）經濟學獎得主之一。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;馬可維茲是第一個讓風險成為投資組合管理核心議題的人，主張投資是對未知將來的一種賭注。當時尚未成為理論的「理性市場」觀念，讓大眾很容易就能進入股市，就連馬可維茲也要對引用他著作的學生抱怨說：「大眾讀我的文章卻不讀我的書」；當每個人被經濟學家說服，認定市場價格波動完全是隨機時，說實在的，誰還需要學者們鑽研風險與報酬呢？不過隨機理論（也就是效率市場的根基），最大功臣首推保羅．薩繆爾森（Paul Samuelson），他個人興趣廣泛甚至自稱「經濟學最後一位通才」。依著他的研究，讓股市波動多半無法預測的概念，由學理上的好奇轉為學術研究的重心。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;接著金融學者發現測量與控管風險的方法，同時也了解到這會是一門好生意。費雪．布萊克（Fisher Black）游走於學術與華爾街之間，設計選擇權定價與避免損失的方法，這個操作模型被華爾街金融分析師奉為圭臬。理性市場理論的高峰，就在於尤金•法瑪（Eugene Fama）的「有效市場理論」（Efficient Market Hypothesis）——讓人們選擇自己所相信的一切。不過經濟學家不免屢屢回頭，想想為何理性市場也有行不通的時候。鮑伯．席勒（Bob Shiller）指出，金融市場是理性的觀念其實缺乏實質證據。遑論一群專業投資者無法擊敗市場，但並不表示其他的專業投資者做不到，當中的翹楚包括了華倫．巴菲特（Warren Buffett）和愛德．索普（Ed Thorp）等人，何況1987年股市崩盤讓金融市場對於風險的看法露出嚴重破綻。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;但卻在亞倫．葛林斯潘（Alan Greenspan）領軍的美國聯準會（Fed，The Federal Reserve System，全名為「聯邦準備理事會」，相當於美國的中央銀行）伸出援手下，錯失全面審視自由主義與理性市場的機會。批評有效市場的議題，經常點出不理性市場的力量，有時候就像理性市場般非常普遍，安德瑞‧施萊弗（Andrei Shleifer）以社會學科觀點，說明不理性行為如何影響市場。本書時間主軸橫跨多位學者的發跡、定調與轉變及其時代背景，最後作者不免語重心長做出結語「我們來到歷史轉捩點，這不止是理性市場理論的崩毀，金融市場也已經分崩離析。」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;福克斯於書中強調：「蒙受金融海嘯災情的經濟學者應該確實領悟，他們無法仰賴自己所建立的經濟模型」。金融市場當中，學者的風險控管觀念讓資產管理公司無中生有創造出衍生商品，讓人們以為自己安坐於理性思考所編織的強韌的網。經濟學家忽略現實執意展現完整理論的動機何在？純粹驗證或者這是一條簡單的道路？諾貝爾經濟學獎得主保羅．克魯曼（Paul Krugman）在《紐約時報》（New York Times）所寫的書評表示：「我們還需要一本講金融危機的書嗎？是的，因為《理性市場的神話》這本書不一樣。凡是想要了解自己究竟掉到何種泥沼的人，都應該讀福克斯的著作」。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;l          Feb 08 Mon 2010大股東動態的透視鏡 [轉貼]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在之前的幾篇文章跟留言回覆中&lt;br /&gt;我已經提過集保公司提供的一個查詢介面「集保戶股權分散表查詢 」&lt;br /&gt;早期這個介面只提供當月最新股權分佈狀況，並不允許查詢歷史記錄&lt;br /&gt;因此每月上這個網站擷取自己手上持股的最新股權分佈資料&lt;br /&gt;成為我每月月初必做的功課項目&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;l          2010世界最具創新力公司排行榜 2010-02-22&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;美國雜誌《Fast Company》評選2010年度世界最具創新力公司排行榜，社交化網站霸主Facebook成為世界最具創新力公司。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Facebook（去年第15名）：2009年，Facebook用戶數成長一倍，最新數據已達到4億人，將MySpace競爭對手遠遠甩在身後，成功壓制Twitter的挑戰，業界普遍認為Facebook是目前最有可能超越Google的網路公司。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Amazon（去年第9名）：成功多元化是讓Amazon一舉衝到第二名的主因。推出Kindle電子書閱讀器和iPhone閱讀應用軟體，讓Amazon得以繼續引領電子書市場，另外在電子支付和雲端運算等領域也進步迅速，加上對Zappos收購得宜。收入241億美元，成長26%，股價飆升176%。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Apple（去年第4名）：軟體商店App Store已超過14萬個軟體，下載超30億次，產生10億美元以上收入。收購Lala音樂網站為iTunes帶來新的推動力。iPad發表也炒熱市場話題。收入365億美元，成長12%，股價成長146%。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Google（去年第2名）：穩坐網路搜尋龍頭老大，在其他領域也有重要進展，包括Nexus One手機、新音樂服務和創新工具Wave。收入236億美元，成長8%，股價成長106%。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. 華為（新入榜）：超越阿爾卡特－朗訊和諾基亞－西門子，成為全球第二大通信設備商，贏得挪威4G移動網路合約更是震驚業界。收入215億美元，成長17.5%，市占率20%。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. First Solar（去年第18名）：第一個跨越每瓦1美元成本門檻的太陽能公司。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. PG&amp;amp;E（新入榜）：電力營運商在新能源的成功典範，占有產業中1%排放量，服務美國5%人口。此外，還積極進行外太空太陽能等大膽創新計畫。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. 諾華（新入榜）：瑞士製藥商，關注罕見疾病。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. 沃爾瑪（去年第33名）：開始對營運和銷售商品進行環保評估，啟動世界最大規模的綠色工程之一。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. 惠普（去年第12名）：第一大PC廠商，收購EDS和3Com，加強競爭力繼續抗衡IBM和思科。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;以下為2010年最具創新力十大中國公司列表：&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. 華為 2.

/&gt;在智利遭規模8.8強震襲擊，導致銅的供應中斷後，紐約銅價1日竄升至七週來最高。黃金小跌，白銀下挫。白金及鈀金則上漲。地震發生後，礦場因電力中斷而停採。智利國營銅礦公司 (Codelco)、英美公司 (Anglo American GB-AAL) 及安托法加斯塔 (Antofagasta GB-ANTO) 都停產。不過Codelco說，該公司將由北部未受波及的礦場供應合約。北部礦場較大。紐約國家證券首席市場策略師賽爾金 (DonaldSelkin)說，銅價「明顯受到智利地震的衝擊。」「礦場損壞情形以及何時才能恢復出口，都是問題。有些報導還傳出某些裝載港口受到破壞。」紐約5月銅期貨價格終場上漲6.6美分或2%，每磅收3.35美元。一度竄升至3.487美元，創1月11日來最高價，漲幅6.2%。倫敦三個月交貨的銅價上漲2.8%，每公噸收7400美元 (每磅3.36)。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;智利擁有全球最大的銅礦場，銅礦及精礦出口佔全球36%。這次地震是2月27日清晨發生在智利中部。康乃狄克州MF全球公司分析師梅爾 (Edward Meir) 說：「整體來說，智利全國銅產量本週末約有1/5一度停產，但隨著時間過去，有愈來愈多的礦場恢復開採。」Codelco公司昨天說，該公司年產38萬1000公噸的El Teniente礦場，昨天「逐步」重新開始作業；年產21萬9554公噸的Andina礦場，可能最快今天下午就會恢復投產。Antofagasta公司則說，其Los Pelambres礦場昨天恢復作業。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;國營的Codelco公司表示不會宣布因不可抗力災害而無法履行契約，這將可使該公司免於賠償。智利2009年的銅產量達540萬公噸。倫敦德意志銀行分析師表示，這次地震凸顯全球1/3銅產量來自單一國家的風險。倫敦鋁鉛鋅鎳也都上漲。貴金屬方面。紐約金價1日小跌60美分，每英兩收1118.30美元，結束兩天來的反彈。白銀也在創近一個月來的高點後回跌。倫敦現貨黃金持平，報1117.60美元。紐約白銀期貨下跌5.2美分或0.3%，收16.469美元，一度來到16.77，是2月3日來最高。白金期貨上漲4.10美元或0.3%，收1544美元。鈀金上漲4.25美元或1%，收438美元。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;l          巴菲特：為平衡經濟 贊成可口可樂收購案 支持健保改革削減支出2010/3/2&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;股神巴菲特 (WarrenBuffett) 提出觀點，表示就市場平衡角度來看，他支持飲料商可口可樂 (Coca-ColaCo.；KO-US) 對瓶裝廠Coca-ColaEnterprises (CCE-US) 的收購。巴老同時聲稱，他旗下公司波克夏哈薩威 (BerkshireHathawayInc.；BRKA-US) 的總裁一職，繼任者將在職很長一段時間；同時表示儘管支持目前國會的立法形式，他仍贊同健保改革更進一步削減成本支出。在接受《CNBC》財經頻道採訪時，巴菲特指出今(2010)年股市整體而言，吸引力較一年前縮減許多，並表示沒有打算出售旗下飛機租賃公司NetJetsInc。至於美國經濟方面，巴菲特表示：「目前市場情況略顯好轉，雖然已趨向成長，但速度可謂非常之緩慢。」　　&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20100302: 繼任者應該挺年輕的.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他同時警告指出，由於經濟衰退影響，傳統的年度數據比較方式，應改為以兩年前數據對比，才能得到更精確的市況指標。提及可口可樂出價120億美元的收購案，巴菲特表示整體而言，他支持這筆交易，但警告到併購過程，將產生許多執行面上的問題。在去 (2009) 年末尾，波克夏公司持有可口可樂8.6%股權。對於他現任波克夏董事長兼執行長的職位繼承人一事，巴菲特重申公司裡有3位候選人，並表示雖然名單和10年前所列有所不同，但未有太大變化。關於美國政府健保案，巴菲特主張將重點放在降低龐大成本，擴大國家經濟施惠範圍，但他表示仍支持目前的法案基礎。 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;l          財報－獲利不佳財測保守 新浪盤後股價大跌4.7%鉅亨網編譯吳國仲 綜合外電2010-03-04&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;入口網站營運商中國新浪 (SINA-US) 公佈財報，反映營收下滑及拓展業務的支出增加，去年第4季獲利不如市場預期。新浪表示，上季淨利由前年同期的2520萬美元成長至3.721億美元 (每股6.03美元)。但若扣除一次性項目，每股獲利降至0.31美元，低於華爾街預期的每股0.36美元。營收方面，較前年同期下滑3.3%至9820萬美元。專家看好中國網路市場前景，也建議新浪拓展相關服務。Piper Jaffray分析師Vivian Li說：「服務多元化，是新浪往後必須要做的。」新浪網的瀏覽人數，在中國所有網站中排名第三，僅次於百度與騰訊。研究機構IResearch統計，去年中國的網路廣告市場規模成長21%，達到206億元人民幣 (約合30億美元)。展望本季 (2010年第1季)，新浪預測營收將在7800-8000萬美元之間，亦不如市場預測的8350萬美元。美股3日交易，新浪股價收低1.7%至37.49美元；盤後大跌4.77%報35.70美元。今年來，新浪股價已跌掉17%。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20100304: 最初的入口網站所聚集的人潮, 彼此之間無任何關係, 無法形成網絡效應.&lt;div

The licensor of audio technologies, which also sells products that enable surround-sound, 3-D and digital cinema in theaters, earned $69.1 million, or 59 cents per share, compared with $78.1 million, or 68 cents per share, in the same period a year earlier. Dolby said a change in accounting rules over how it recognizes revenue boosted earnings by $4.4 million, or 4 cents per share, in the quarter. Last year's first quarter had a $20 million gain related to a patent licensing deal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dolby said excluding certain items, it would have earned $74.3 million, or 64 cents per share, in the quarter, up from $70.3 million, or 61 cents per share, in the prior year. Items excluded are stock-based compensation charges, amortization of assets, restructuring costs, a gain related to a patent licensing agreement and the tax impact of these items. Revenue rose by 23 percent to $221.2 million, up from $180.3 million. The accounting rule change added $17.6 million to the 2010 quarter.&lt;br /&gt; Dolby's first-quarter earnings and revenue topped the forecasts of analysts, who on average expected revenue of $181.1 million and profit of 49 cents per share, according to Thomson Reuters. Analysts' earnings and revenue forecasts did not include the boost from the change in accounting rules, Dolby said. Backing out the effect of the accounting change, the company still would have comfortably beat Wall Street's expectations. Looking ahead, Dolby said it expects to report revenue of $780 million to $810 million for 2010. That's higher than the $747.3 million analysts were expecting.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

performance during the global financial crisis of the past two years, Warren Buffett tells the Wall Street Journal, "We didn't do all the smartest things. We didn't do anything really dumb." Buffett admits that he could have done better if he waited until the stock market bottomed in March of this year, but he's happy with the Goldman Sachs and General Electric deals he agreed to in September and October of 2008. "I made plenty of mistakes. I didn't maximize the opportunities offered by the chaos. But in the end, it worked out OK." That's because he avoided making a number of deals offered to him that could have proven disasterous. Plus, rejecting all those offers left him with the ammunition to make his biggest deal ever, last month's announced $26 billion acquisition of railroad operator Burlington Northern Santa Fe.&lt;br /&gt;  In a page one article headlined In Year of Living Dangerously, Buffett Looked 'Into the Abyss' (WSJ.com subscription required), reporter Scott Patterson lays out an extensive account of Buffett's "epic deal negotiations, including anxious phone calls he fielded from wounded companies such as Freddie Mac, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;Wachovia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, and Morgan Stanley." Buffett also turned down potential deals with Lehman Brothers, Bear Stearns, and AIG. As Janney Montgomery Scott analyst Paul Howard tells Patterson, "I don't think Buffett gets enough credit for all the pitches he doesn't swing at. And he gets a lot of pitches."&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

type='text'>2009 Week 46</title><content type='html'>l          後石油時代 巴菲特愛上鐵路股【經濟日報╱編譯陳家齊／綜合外電】2009.11.08&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;「股神」巴菲特上周宣布將全額收購伯靈頓北方聖大菲鐵路公司（BNSF），成近期最受矚目併購案。分析指出，巴菲特看好鐵路發展的原因有二，一是油價，二是環保，兩者互為表裡，都是對「後石油時代」長期下注。油價高漲讓卡車與汽車運輸成本變得更昂貴。不只是貨運將更加倚賴鐵路運輸，一旦普通美國人難以忍受飆漲的汽油價格，鐵路的客運前景也就更加光明。除了油價，美國的「鐵路復興」還綜合多項因素。美國鐵路業近年來解決了樞紐地帶運量打結的問題，克服增加鋪軌所需的高成本，而且說服政府不干預鐵路的漲價。而長期遲緩的經濟復甦，將更讓消費者與廠商尋求低廉的運輸方式。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在環保方面，巴菲特的投資組合裡已經包括了對抗全球暖化的「綠能」產業。波克夏集團旗下的中美能源公司（MidAmerican），本身擁有數十座風力發電場，而且還投資中國大陸比亞迪公司（BYD）的電池事業。現在，藉由收購BNSF，巴菲特的綠能投資組合又加入一個角色：清潔煤。位於蒙大拿州與懷俄明州的包德河盆地（Powder River Basin）以盛產低硫的低污染燃煤著稱，可能扮演未來美國清潔能源的要角。而BNSF正是運送包德河盆地煤藏的最主要運輸公司。伯靈頓運送的燃煤供應了全美10%的電力。去年，煤運貢獻了伯靈頓約23%的貨運營收，而這些煤當中就有約90%是來自包德河盆地的優質煤。分析師指出，由於美國東部的煤礦長期開採，容易採取的礦藏幾乎已經耗盡。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;因此東部電廠的燃煤來源最有可能移往由包德河盆地供應。所以，巴菲特等於在投資新世代的風能與電池能源時，又投資最傳統的煤礦能源，多樣下注未來的能源發展路線。這些趨勢看法可能都要長期才能實現。不過波克夏的投資人可期望一項「先期收穫」：成為標準普爾500成分股。由於伯靈頓鐵路原來就是標準普爾500指數成分股，在併購伯靈頓之後，波克夏依慣例有機會繼承伯靈頓的成分股地位。唯一阻止波克夏成標普500成分股的因素是股價過高，在波克夏B股進行1比50的分割後，股價便不成阻礙。這將使追蹤主要股價指數的基金買盤湧入，從而拉抬波克夏的股價。&lt;div

Holdings達成協議，透過認購Gextech新股及要求Gextech發行可換股票據之認購期權，收購Gextech最多約55%股本權益，涉資4947萬元。亞博科技主席兼行政總裁孫豪表示，收購Gextech為集團的里程碑，預期兩年後再把Gextech在倫敦分拆上市。他又表示，內地今年通過放寬博彩法案，將有利集團積極拓展內地業務。根據協議，認購新股代價為3075萬元；可換股票據則為1872.05萬元，行使價每股Gextech為0.05英鎊。孫豪表示，Gextech主要從事研究、開發及提供與互動虛擬體育博彩遊戲內容有關之軟件，及為網上博彩及彩票營運商提供包括配套服務的解決方案，收購後使公司重新定位為國際彩票及博彩遊戲集團。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他補充，Gextech已成功與一些國際知名的體育博彩莊家、博彩機及賭場營運商及廣播公司簽訂合約，有信心在收購後首年即達至收支平衡。孫豪表示，過去6年，Gextech一直集中發展虛擬體育博彩遊戲，其中一手開發的「Fantastic League」的專利系列產品，把虛擬高頻固定賠率足球投注平台，結合先進電腦三維動畫，再加上數學智能（Smart Stitch）技術，可提供現場遊戲情景以配合莊家所設的投注市場，預期此產品可為集團帶來不俗回報。他又說，內地於今年5月通過放寬博彩的法案，為行業帶來無限商機，亞博科技亦計劃把「Fantastic League」引入內地，為市場提供虛擬足球博彩服務。此外，他稱，虛擬足球博彩只是把相關技術放入足球項目上，其實用於其他運動亦可，所以是次由Gextech開發的技術潛力優厚。他又透露，澳門一些賭場早前已與亞博接觸，表示對「Fantastic League」感興趣，由於洽商進行中暫不便透露詳情。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;市場競爭激烈 倫敦證交所獨家收購Turquoise談判有望成交鉅亨網邱勤美 外電報導2009/10/02&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;倫敦證交所（London Stock Exchange；LSE-US）周四表示，已進入獨家談判收購競爭對手 Turquoise 交易平台，Turquoise系統追蹤歐洲15個國家證交數據。《紐約時報》報導，Turquoise 交易平台是由幾家投資巨頭在去年8月成立，包括摩根士丹利（MS-US）、高盛（GS-US），以及另外7家金融機構。歐洲上市公司交易量最大的倫敦證交所表示，這項收購談判有望達到成交共識，但未予進一步細節。甫於今年 5 月上任的倫敦證交所CEO Xavier Rolet曾為雷曼高層。由於該證交所收費較高、系統速度較慢，為了迎戰小型競爭對手逐漸分食市場，他實施改革策略包括成本縮編、強化交易平台，以及考慮海外擴張或增加金融商品業種。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;兩周以前，倫敦證交所同意以3000萬美元收購斯里蘭卡一家技術服務公司MillenniumIT。前一任CEO Clara Furse主持倫敦證交所的時代，國際同業展開結盟風潮（如那斯達克與泛歐證交所結盟），益發激化市場競爭程度。Turquoise 擁有西歐 15 個國家追蹤交易資源將有助於倫敦證交所強化自身實力，倫敦證交所的市場競爭者包括Deutsche Börse、NYSE Euronext、Nasdaq OMX，以及2007年由網路券商所成立的 ChiX。瑞銀為輔導Turquoise找到買主的承作仲介商，據悉已遞交報價文件予倫敦證交所。但有些分析師不看好這宗交易，認為Turquoise的客源多為入股的投資機構，一旦它被賣出，這些客戶將停止使用Turquoise平台。除非投行仍然持股，否則這個考量將減損Turquoise對於買家的吸引力。&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;商業原理小整理&lt;br

/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;暢銷遊戲機Wii製造商日本任天堂公司今年登上美國商業周刊（BusinessWeek）和AT Kearney顧問公司評選的全球40大最佳企業龍頭寶座，打敗Google和蘋果等赫赫有名的美國科技業巨擘。AT Kearney從全球2,500家上市公司中選出去年銷售逾100億美元的國際企業，再依前五年的銷售與市值成長率等數據加以排名。過去AT Kearney的排行榜只納入25家公司，今年增至40家。奪魁的任天堂過去五年每年銷售銳增36%，市值成長平均達38%。雖然去年面臨艱鉅挑戰，但該公司專注於創新，發展出家戶必備的DS手持遊戲機和Wii主機，銷售勝過競爭對手Sony和微軟。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;名列前茅的企業大多注重創新，例如排名第二的Google、 第三的蘋果（Apple）以及排名17的亞馬遜（Amazon），都持續大量投資創新，即使在消費者支出和信心大幅下滑之際，也能擁有高市占率。排名第七的行動電話業者MTN集團和排名18的美洲無線通訊公司（America Movil），則因進軍非洲和南美等市場獲利豐厚。工程業也有優等生，雖然經濟衰退戳破營建泡沫，但各國政府出資興建基礎設施，使業者得以重整旗鼓。排名25的小松（Komatsu）專注於營建和開礦機具。排名第四的斗山重工（Doosan）早已多角化經營，除為公用事業興建電廠，也計劃投資海水淡化廠。第五名的現代重工（Hyundai）同樣將事業擴展至造船以外，跨足營建機具和太陽能。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;原物料商品相關企業今年的表現不如去年。2008年上榜者中有四分之三是能源及金屬公司，今年只剩四分一。去年榜首、鋼鐵業巨擘印度阿賽洛米塔爾（ArcelorMittal）今年則跌出榜外，但澳洲必和必拓（BHP Billiton）等11家企業仍擠進40強。必和必拓進步六名，拿下第十。今年40大最佳企業來自18個國家，分布化學、代工、軟體和造船等產業。這些公司除創新外，還有多角化的投資組合、積極的擴張策略、強有力的領導，以及清晰的願景。AT Kearney董事長勞迪西納（Paul Laudicina）說：「在變動不斷的環境下，能主動提出具遠見、精確策略的公司，遠較那些隨機應變的公司更易勝出。」&lt;br

Mayer品牌在內的部分資產，為收購吉百利的交易融資。綜合外電9月15日報道，知情人士稱，卡夫食品 (Kraft Foods Inc.) 可能會考慮出售包括&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;麥斯威爾 (Maxwell House)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; 及Oscar Mayer品牌在內的部分資產，為其收購英國糖果生產商吉百利食品有限公司 (Cadbury PLC) 的交易融資。卡夫食品計劃以股票加現金方式收購吉百利，交易價值167億美元。知情人士還表示，在卡夫食品上周主動發出非正式收購提議後，該公司股價下跌，這可能促使其考慮上調吉百利收購出價中現金部分所佔比例，並下調股票所佔的比例。卡夫食品下周可能會依照英國法律向吉百利發出正式收購要約。據悉，卡夫食品在與花旗集團 (Citigroup Inc.) 和德意志銀行 (Deutsche Bank AG) 進行協商。卡夫食品已經與其他銀行進行接洽，以期獲得更多貸款，本周將舉行幾次會晤。卡夫食品拒絕就此置評。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;陸股大搜索－中國那斯達克準備好了？2009-09-27 工商時報 【吳瑞達】&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;「台斯達克」，這幾個字眼，曾經在台灣，喊得震天價響，攻佔不少媒體版面，終究還是喊爽的，難成氣候。「中斯達克」─即所謂「中國創業板」是也，最近如火如荼開展，雖說淬煉了十年，按理說，沒有鑄出干將、莫邪，也該有湛盧、魚腸的水平，但從中國證監會核准上市的企業看，「中國那斯達克」真的準備好了嗎？中國創業板正式啟動，近日，中國證監會創業板發行審核委員會，陸續審核各家企業，而不少獲准IPO的公司，仍出現「有條件通過」的但書，會出現「有條件」，就顯示存在某些瑕疵，會過關，也表示是勉強過關，也有放水意謂。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;為什麼會是「有條件」？據了解，是指這些企業，已符合創業板上市條件，但在資訊披露等細節問題上，仍存在一些缺陷，需進一步改善，但這些問題不大，不會影響企業的股票上市。近期在中國股市中，搞得沸沸揚揚的五糧液事件，根據中國證監會調查結果，這家國營企業，竟然是瞞著大老闆中國國務院，違規炒作股票，虧空之後，還企圖掩飾。五糧液事件，應該只是冰山一角，國營企業都膽敢如此胡搞，更何況一般中小型企業呢？不少省市政府，為鼓勵轄內企業爭取創業板上市，紛紛祭出獎賞措施，一旦過關，賞金百萬；有的省份，更是由政府出資，對申請上市的企業，極盡美化之能事，為的只是爭臉搶眼。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;全世界許多國家，都曾設立創業板，但唯一成功的只有美國那斯達克，因目前企業、產品、知名度縱橫全球的美國企業，如微軟、思科、戴爾、英特爾等，出身都來自那斯達克（NASDAQ），是世界第一個電子證券交易市場。這個成功的市場，引起各國競相效仿，如德國的創業板，韓國有「高斯達克」、日本有「JASDAQ」，甚至台灣的櫃檯買賣中心也曾喊出塑造「台斯達克」的口號，還好只是口號。最終都未成功，韓國的高麗棒子，撐不了「高斯達克」，日本也失敗，就連開市時風光無比，有跟美國那斯達克互別苗頭榮面的德國創業板，最終也因降低上市門檻標準，把關不嚴的結果，導致阿貓阿狗的企業，混入上市行列，短短5年，自毀長城，關門大吉。中國地大物博，資源不缺，要打造與美國一較長短的「中國那斯達克」，或許假以時日，有此條件。但短期內如只是為促成創業板開市，而「有條件」的通融放行，長遠來看恐非上策。&lt;br

/&gt;有人總把巴菲特看作是“長期持股”而最終獲得巨大收益的楷模，其實，你如果通讀了至今唯一真實描寫巴菲特財富人生的老巴傳記《滾雪球》一書，你的看法可能就會改變。巴菲特長期持倉不動的股份，只占其總資產的很小比例，而且他在長期持股的公司都任著董事職位；巴菲特最大的資產投在中期投資──“布谷鳥叫”之前買入，他認為股票高估時賣出；巴菲特還以少部分資產做短期的無風險套利。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;而從巴菲特每次都能平穩渡過華爾街危機，並在每次華爾街危機的中途有資本抄半腰 (老巴抄底兒，很少從二級市場直接買入，都是作為“救世主”，以“協議”形式向公司直接增資；巴菲特每次抄底後，美國股市都還會有一大截跌幅，故稱其“抄半腰”) 的經歷看，巴菲特在危機前就退出二級市場並准備了足夠的“抄底資金”。巴菲特現在又開始逃頂了：8月末，巴菲特披露了自己賣出2%的穆迪公司股票(巴菲特之前是穆迪的最大股東)。不僅如此，巴菲特門下專做投資的公司Berkshire今年二季度末，賣出也大于買入，持有股票的倉位已經降低到五年多來的最低水平。(見本報今日金融版)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;巴菲特不再買股了，開始賣股了，開始擔心了，開始把資產轉向了企業和政府債券。不僅僅是巴菲特開始減倉了。2007年10月前提前減倉的內地唯一基金公司──上投摩根系基金，上周也把自己基金的倉位降到了75%左右的水平。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;l          幕後智囊巴菲特最佳拍檔(2009-09-22 16:10:37)标签：财经   分类：资料摘录整理&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;對於那些沒聽說過芒格的人來講，他的思想可能讓人覺得不是特別重要。但是對於他的追捧者而言，那不啻於耶穌的「登山寶訓」。芒格是巴菲特的內布拉斯加同鄉，但兩人性格迥異：芒格性格暴躁、喜歡獨處、悲觀厭世。但這並沒有阻礙他成為巴菲特40載的伙伴：主要的傳聲筒、合作戰略家、壞警察。在他們的合作過程中，巴菲特從一個成功但默默無聞的資金管理人成為世界首富，在全球享有無人可及的影響力。但是在巴菲特的一些崇拜者眼中，如果沒有芒格，巴菲特走不到今天。的確，我們很難知道巴菲特和芒格的影響力到底誰大誰小。被巴菲特和芒格收購的保險公司Geico的首席執行官盧‧辛普森(Lou Simpson) 稱：「所有重大投資芒格都參與其中。」「奧馬哈先知」巴菲特本人也對芒格幫助巴郡42年來取得21%的年均回報率 (兩倍於標普) 頗有讚譽。巴菲特對SmartMoney說：「他是我的榜樣。」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在茉莉和紫籐飄香的季節，加利福尼亞理工學院的校園裏，寬敞的禮堂裏座無虛席、翹首以待。來這裏的大部分都是知名資金經理人，他們從世界各地趕來，只為一睹查利‧芒格 (Charlie Munger) 的風采。他可是比巴郡拆股都要難見的，這次他著名的合伙人沃倫‧巴菲特 (Warren Buffett) 沒有前來。今年84歲芒格一目失明，顫顫巍巍地走上講台。一位享有聲望的物理學教授等著對他進行採訪，但是一旦這位乾瘦、戴著高度眼鏡的客人開始大罵一些焦點人物，那位教授幾乎插不上話了。芒格的談話主題是信貸危機。他譏諷那些銀行家，說他們賣給投資者的都是「一些超級複雜的垃圾」。一位會計學教授也放下學者的高傲架子和學術修養，他說：「認為我們需要金融衍生品的看法簡直就是胡說八道。」然而儘管這裏面充滿了愚蠢和詭計，芒格仍認為投資世界是一個憑常識就可勝出的地方——原因就是「它並不太尋常」。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;同巴菲特的高調不同，芒格一直安居幕後。但是他仍然有一批人數更少但更為狂熱的追隨者，試圖從他的智慧裏獲取靈感。市值650億美元的Davis Funds的基金經理克里斯‧戴維斯 (Chris Davis) 說：「有一些人會希望獲取終身受用的知識，他是一個榜樣。」一位著名對沖基金經理表示：「再過10年，芒格將會發現他在全世界的影響力。」他還認為，如果給巴菲特和芒格的追隨者分別進行智力測試，芒格的崇拜者可能要比巴菲特的「高不少分」。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;巴菲特和芒格1959年在一個宴會上相識，當時巴菲特管理一家小型對沖基金，而芒格是洛杉磯一名律師。兩人可謂一拍即合，直到今天巴菲特還對芒格當時徹底轉型做投資讚不絕口。受求學時哥倫比亞大學商業學教授本傑明‧格雷厄姆(Benjamin Graham)的影響，巴菲特一直在尋找以便宜價格買進合理企業的機會，而此時芒格的理念是以合理價格買進高質企業。芒格的早期影響可以從巴郡對可口可樂、吉列和美國運通等優秀企業的投資看出來。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;他們兩人共同決策的最重要交易之一是1965年的第一筆買賣：藍籌印花(Blue Chip Stamps)。藍籌印花將印花出售給零售商，顧客收集這些印花然後換取烤麵包機之類的物品。但是隨著消費者不斷將錢存進藍籌印花，公司的錢卻浪費地放在銀行裏賺取利息——直到巴菲特和芒格將其收購。他們開始用「餘錢」收購See's Candies、Buffalo News和Wesco Financial等公司的控股股權。然後，這些公司產生的現金又給了巴菲特足夠的資本去收購更大的公司——正是這樣的策略幫助巴郡獲得驚人的回報，同時成為年營收超過1000億美元的超級企業。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;從個性來講，這一對搭檔顯然符合「異性相吸」的古話。巴菲特喜歡開玩笑地用雞捨和後宮之類來闡述自己的觀點，而芒格動輒引證西塞羅和亞里士多德。大家都爭著跟巴菲特共進晚餐，但芒格卻有著相反的效應：他的朋友彼得‧考夫曼 (Peter Kaufman) 說：「我們的妻子都不願挨著他坐。」考夫曼解釋道，芒格可能會開始大談螢火蟲之類的事情。他說：「查利更願意表達，而不是接受。」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;分散投資「大錯特錯」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;芒格否認自己是巴菲特的幕後智囊這樣的說法，只是承認「我並非毫無效用」。如果芒格的悲觀看法正確的話，他的效用可能更重要一點。芒格說：「儘管市場下跌了，但所有投資品平均來講仍大幅高估，」獲得高回報的可能性頂多是「一般」。在低迷市場 (或者任何市場) 中，芒格所開出的成功秘方同尋常智慧大相逕庭：大口吃進少數可能勝出的公司。芒格今年曾對巴郡投資者表示：「人們都說投資的全部秘密在於分散投資，」這樣的看法「大錯特錯」。當然，如何從茫茫大海中選出這些贏家，這時就需要巴菲特或芒格的智慧了。芒格認為這光靠常識可不行，還需要多方面對自己進行全面的教育。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;芒格說，他和巴菲特與其他投資者不同，他們盡量不高估自己的能力：「如果你不知道自己的優勢在哪裏，這就是一場災難。」動盪的市場、低迷的經濟，在陪伴巴菲特43年的歷史裏，查利‧芒格全部經歷過。下面五條智慧也許對今日市場下的投資者有益。也許我們應該對我們的券商和共同基金重新審視。芒格說，整個資金管理業業績平平、手續費又高，並未給客戶提供增值。「他們就像賭桌上收錢的人，從整個系統中拿走利潤。」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;再一次打擊專業人士？芒格認為熱衷於統計分析就像「無聊的沙裏篩金」，反而遮蔽了雙眼去發現有潛力的公司。「這些人喜歡計算，但是路過大金石卻渾然不知。」相反，他和巴菲特「只是做一些顯而易見的決定……我們從不跨越7呎的籬笆」。芒格相信人應該自我教育，愈深愈好，愈博愈好，這便是「侵入他人的領地」建立一個「理論的智力方格」，並據此作出投資決策。他推崇本‧富蘭克林。芒格說：「他是一個自我教育者，博採眾長、無所不包。他感到自己需要提高數學，於是開始學代數……知道自己的不足，然後彌補它。我就是這麼做的。」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;盡量長期持有資產&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;大部分投資者都認為巴菲特和芒格善於找到價格便宜的好股票，芒格指出，品質可以戰勝價格。他說：「如果你買進被低估的股票，那麼當它接近你計算出的內在價值的時候，你就必須考慮賣掉它。這是很難的。但是如果你買進一些好公司，你就可以一直持有它們。這是好事情。」芒格說，中國相對美國的競爭優勢愈來愈大，但是他對此滿懷希望。他說：「如果哪一天中國人取代了芒格們，我的態度就是『再見』。」關於美國，他補充道：「我們在經濟上的地位曾經高得離譜。現在只是稍微高一截。」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;l          尋找投資護城河喬伊．蒙修耶托晨星公司創辦人、董事長暨執行長&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1984年，我創立晨星公司，目的是想幫助散戶投資共同基金。當時只有一些財金刊物刊載投資績效的資料，我覺得以實惠的價格提供法人級的資訊，可以滿足這方面日益增加的需求。不過，我還有另一個目標，我想打造一個有「經濟護城河」的事業。「經濟護城河」一詞是巴菲特自創的，是指幫公司防禦競爭對手的持久優勢，就好像護城河保護城堡那樣。1980年代初期，我發現巴菲特這號人物，開始研究波克夏海瑟崴公司（Berkshire Hathaway）的年報，巴菲特在年報中解釋護城河的概念，我覺得我可以用這個觀點來打造事業。經濟護城河對我來說實在太有道理了，所以這項概念也變成我們公司營運與分析股票時的基礎。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我創辦晨星公司時，可以看出市場對我們有明顯的需求，不過我也想打造有護城河防護的事業。如果只能眼睜睜地看著競爭對手搶走顧客，那又何必投入時間、資金與心力？我想打造的是競爭對手難以模仿的事業，我希望晨星的經濟護城河包含大家信賴的品牌、大量的財務資料庫、獨家分析、大規模又專業的分析師陣容、忠誠度高又龐大的客群。於是我以自身的投資背景、頗有護城河潛力的商業模式，在市場需求日增下，踏上創業之路。過去23年來，晨星的成果豐碩，如今年營收逾四億，獲利非凡。我們努力鞏固護城河，讓它變得更寬更深，每次事業上有新的投資時，我們總是謹記著這些目標。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;不過，護城河也是晨星公司分析股票投資的基礎，我們覺得投資人長期投資時，應該鎖定經濟護城河較寬的公司，這些公司可以長期提供超額報酬（股價上漲而獲得的績優報酬）。另外還有一項優點：這些股票可以買進持有久一些，降低交易成本，所以護城河寬廣的公司是投資組合的絕佳標的。很多人的投資方式是：「我姊夫建議這檔股票」或「我在《錢》（Money）雜誌上看到相關報導」。每天股價的起起伏伏以及股市名嘴對短線市場波動的評論也容易讓投資人分心。投資人最好能有概念化的標準，幫忙評估股票及建立合理的投資組合，這就是護城河重要的地方。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;護城河的概念雖由巴菲特提出，但我們又進一步將它發揚光大。我們找出護城河的常見屬性（例如高轉換成本與規模經濟），並為這些屬性提供完整的分析。雖然投資仍有其難以捉摸的巧妙之處，但我們把辨識公司護城河變成一項更科學的技巧。護城河是晨星股票評等的關鍵要素，我們有一百多位股市分析師，追蹤百大產業的兩千多家上市公司。有兩大因素決定我們的評等：（1）公平價值的折價水準（2）公司護城河的規模。每位分析師都會建構詳盡的現金流量折現模型，以算出公司的公平價值，然後再根據你即將從本書學到的技巧，給那家公司一個護城河評等：寬廣、狹窄、沒有。公平價值的折價程度愈大、護城河愈寬時，晨星股票的星號評等也就愈高。有護城河的公司是我們找尋的目標，但我們想以公平價值的大幅折價水準買進，巴菲特、奧克馬基金（Oakmark Funds）的比爾‧奈格倫（Bill Nygren）、長葉基金（Longleaf Funds）的梅森‧霍金斯（Mason Hawkins）等投資界的傳奇人物都是這麼做的。一直以來晨星也是把這套投資方法套用在多種不同的公司上。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我們追蹤的公司類別多元，所以對於哪些特質可為公司帶來持久的競爭優勢，我們有與眾不同的觀點。我們的股市分析師常為護城河與同業辯論，也為護城河評等向資深同仁辯解。護城河是晨星的一大重要文化，也是我們分析報告的主軸。晨星的股市研究部主任多爾西整理了我們的共同經驗，在本書中和讀者分享，他帶領讀者一窺晨星評估公司的思考流程。多爾西是開發我們股票研究與經濟護城河評等模式的一大功臣，他非常精明、見聞廣博、資歷豐富，我們也很幸運有多爾西這樣說寫俱佳的頂尖溝通人才（大家可以在電視上經常看到他）。讀者等會兒就會發現，多爾西擅長以清楚逗趣的方式說明投資理論。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;多爾西會在後續的章節中說明，為什麼我們認為根據公司的經濟護城河做投資決策，是非常精明的長期投資方式。更重要的是，他會教你如何運用這個方法創造財富。你將會學到如何找出有護城河的公司，學會判斷股票價值的工具，這些都將以非常淺顯易懂的方式呈現。本書中，我們會研究擁有寬廣護城河的公司如何長期創造績優獲利，藉此帶大家了解護城河的經濟威力。缺乏護城河的企業通常長期而言並無法為股東創造價值。我們的首席股市分析師黑伍‧凱利（Haywood Kelly）以及散戶事業處處長凱薩琳．歐黛柏（Catherine Odelbo）也是開發晨星股票研究模式的重要功臣，每天為大眾提供優質護城河分析的全體股市分析師亦功不可沒。本書內容精簡扼要，仔細研讀必能為精明的投資決策奠定扎實的基礎。祝大家投資順利，也希望大家都喜歡這本小書。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20090927: 晨星說了半天,

/&gt;BECKY: All right. Let me go at this another way. Let's pretend you're on a desert island for a month. There's only one set of numbers you can get. What would it be?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BUFFETT: Well, I would probably look at-- perhaps &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;freight car loadings&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and-- perhaps-- and-- and &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;truck tonnage&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; moved and-- but I’d want to look at a lot of figures. (LAUGHTER)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BUFFETT: Well, it's a pretty full one. I mean-- the-- Kraft-- Kraft has got-- anytime you're in a takeover, you know, that-- the animal spirits run high and all of that. But Kraft has the disadvantage of using an undervalued stock. So if you-- if part of your currency is a stock that's worth more money than it's selling for and you're-- you're paying full negotiated value for the other guy’s property and you wouldn't sell your own property for anything like the market price, it's-- it's a-- it makes it a tough game. So it's-- it's a full price.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BECKY: Are-- that makes it sound like as if you're &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;not in favor of&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; this bid?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BUFFETT: No, I-- &lt;strong&gt;I've got a lot of confidence in (Kraft CEO) &lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Irene Rosenfeld&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt; She'll-- but they have to do a lot of things right to justify this price.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BECKY: You know, Warren-- at the last filings released for the SEC it showed that you were selling-- some of your healthcare holdings. WellPoint, United Healthcare. Is that because you worry that the healthcare proposals out there in Washington might now affect the business?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BUFFETT: No, those are not my holdings. Those are &lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Lou Simpson’s&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. I've never bought a healthcare shock that I-- any-- well, jobs-- jobs in a healthcare stock. But in terms of the-- of the-- of the insurers or providers-- those are not my holdings.

Dodd, Columbia Business School&lt;/span&gt;）出版的投資專刊，就以柏克維茲做封面&lt;/strong&gt;，專刊開宗明義說：「柏克維茲已經被公認是全美最受矚目的價值投資者。」 大家都在詢問誰是巴菲特的傳人？雖然柏克維茲是&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;巴菲特的入門弟子&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;（編按：事實上，柏克維茲在2008年還將基金原本持有的波克夏公司股票，一口氣賣掉一半，公然看壞巴菲特！），但是無可諱言的，只要講到青壯派的價值投資高手，柏克維茲絕對是其中的佼佼者。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;20090831: 是不是入門弟子不曉得. 關於媒體胡說八道的功力我們是領教過的.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;柏克維茲看好醫藥產業，他將高比例的資金投入所謂的HMO產業（編按：Health Maintenance Organizations，這是美國一種預先付費的健康保險，內容通常以保健和&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;預防性醫護服務&lt;/span&gt;為主），主要理由是嬰兒潮世代將會是非常長壽的世代，他們將是一群有錢的老人，會花費大筆醫療與保健費用，這是個極為具體而且快速成長的產業。&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;作為價值投資的奉行者，柏克維茲非常重視公司蓄積現金的能力，他認為一家公司最重要的價值就是「自動蓄積現金的能力。」而且，柏克維茲強調，經營團隊固然重要，但是現金能力更重要。他的名言是：「如果你持有的股票，是『連你白癡親戚都能經營』的企業，那你將是全世界最幸福的投資人。」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;20090831: 其實, 現在應該是為這些老人付醫藥費的時候？&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;舉例來說，他持有大量的輝瑞大藥廠股票，這家公司今年股價表現並不突出，柏克維茲卻持續在每股15美元附近增加持股。因為他認為，這家全世界最大的藥廠，帳上自由現金流量高達170億美元（約合新台幣5,576億元），財務結構超強，是扎實的藍籌公司，每年的股息殖利率高達7%，而且公司總經理腦袋清楚，不會用瘋狂價格胡亂收購競爭者。因此，他認為，這樣的公司只要用每股20美元以下的價位買進，都可以高枕無憂。此外，在金融海嘯爆發後，柏克維茲還力行「債股結合」的投資策略。在市場信用突然緊縮、許多公司發行的債券都因為財務周轉困難而跌成垃圾等級時，市場出現一大堆發債殖利率高達20％甚至30%的公司，柏克維茲的團隊深入研究這些信用被擠壓的公司後，購入大量這類高殖利率的公司債。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;今年第2季，全球債券市場流動性逐漸好轉，前述公司營運周轉壓力顯著改善，公司債殖利率迅速回落，柏克維茲賣出獲利的債券，再轉入這些公司的股票，再接再厲，賺取股票價差。這套「債股結合」的投資法，說來不困難，卻成了柏克維茲今年打敗市場的重要關鍵。他常說，AIG（美國國際集團）的報表在金融海嘯之前，只有兩段描述衍生性商品的操作，投資人當然看不懂。金融海嘯之後，AIG用幾十頁來報告帳上的衍生性商品，還是沒有人看得懂。他認為，在美國只有那些二、三線的中型金融機構，能夠堅守傳統金融服務，還有點投資價值，其餘都被他列為拒絕往來戶。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;看好醫療產品需求 巴菲特敲進&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Becton&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;股票鉅亨網編譯鍾詠翔 綜合外電2009/08/17&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在看好醫療器材需求上升下，由股神巴菲特 (Warren Buffett) 掌舵的波克夏公司 (BRK/A-US； Berkshire Hathaway Inc.)，&lt;strong&gt;入股銷售導管與實驗室設備的 Becton Dickinson &amp;amp; Co. (&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;BDX&lt;/span&gt;-US)。&lt;/strong&gt;波克夏於8月14日申報的資料顯示，截至第2季結束，持有Becton股票120萬股，並增持世界第一大保健產品製造商嬌生 (JNJ-US；Johnson &amp;amp; Johnson) 的股權14%，來到3690萬股。波克夏投資這兩家公司之際，中國擴大了公眾醫療支出，而美國國會也在研商健保改革，此舉可能會讓更多美國居民享有健保。巴菲特說過，他挑公司看中的是無懈可擊的優勢，著重的是長期趨勢。Miller Tabak &amp;amp; Co.分析師Les Funtleyder表示：「兩家公司在長期全球經濟成長上佔據良好位置，在新興市場，大眾增加開銷的優先項目之一是醫療，若中國大陸經濟成長率達 8%，醫療開支可望增長 20%。」&lt;strong&gt;Becton 的官網指出，該公司製造注射針、注射器、手術刀、重症監視器等。&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2009年08月17日 星期一巴菲特和索羅斯均持有的股票&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在我們身處的這個時代，與“投資大師”畫上等號的人物屈指可數，不過巴菲特和索羅斯絕對可以擔此盛名。截至2009年3月31日，二人各自執掌的投資公司均持有五只股票：康菲石油、沃爾瑪、勞氏公司、家得寶公司和NRG能源。康菲石油是一家綜合性的跨國能源公司，目前市值爲653.52億美元，股票價格約44美元，市盈率4.9倍，股息收益率4.27%。在過去10年裏，其年均收益增長率爲19%。&lt;br /&gt;雖然在2008年致股東的信中，巴菲特承認在這只股票的投資上出現了失誤，並對其予以減持，但截至2009年3月31日，伯克希爾公司仍持有7123萬股康菲石油普通股，較峰值時期持有的8000萬股減少約10%，占其投資組合的6.82%。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;相比之下，索羅斯則選擇持續增持該股。截至3月31日，索羅斯持有413.6萬股康菲石油普通股，較上一季度增長20.81%，約占索羅斯基金管理公司31.6億美元資産組合的5.13%。作爲全球最大的連鎖零售企業，目前沃爾瑪市值1920.64億美元，股價約49美元，市盈率14.1倍，股息收益率2.21%，過去十年年均收益率增長13.3%。2005年，巴菲特以9.42億美元買入沃爾瑪1994.43萬股，並持有至今，占公司發行總股本的0.51%，占伯克希爾股票投資組合的2.54%，投資收益率已達12.5%。&lt;br /&gt;索羅斯在2007年第四季度購入該股，此後不斷增持，到2008年第三季度達到近380萬股。不過在去年第四季度，索羅斯選擇微盈出手套現，目前其持股量約爲182萬股。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;作爲僅次于沃爾瑪的全美第二大零售商以及全球最大的家居建材零售商，家得寶目前市值464.3億美元，股價27美元左右，市盈率19.02倍，股息收益率3.3%，過去十年年收益增長率19.5%。巴菲特目前持有370萬股該股股票，占伯克希爾投資組合的0.21%，位于其倉位排名的最後一位。索羅斯去年第四季度購入該股，並在今年一季度大筆增持，增幅達279.2%，目前持股量達392.8萬股。勞氏是全美第二大家居裝飾用品零售商，目標市場定位于擅長DIY (自己動手) 等消費者，被《財富》雜志形容爲“窮人版”的家得寶。目前，勞氏市值352.2億美元，股價約23美元，市盈率16.98倍，股息收益率1.41%，過去十年年收益增長率21.4%。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;截至2009年3月31日，巴菲特共持有勞氏普通股650萬股，占公司發行總股本的0.44%，占伯克希爾股票資産組合的0.29%。索羅斯去年第四季度買入109.9萬股，買入均價21美元左右，今年第一季度增持至536萬股，目前持股量占其投資組合的3.1%。以當前市價計算，巴菲特在該筆投資上略虧，索羅斯則有微盈。&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;NRG&lt;/span&gt;是一家電力生産商，主營業務多在美國本土。其當前市值73.4億美元，股價27美元左右，&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;市盈率4.92倍&lt;/span&gt;，過去五年年收益增長率爲25.9%。&lt;/strong&gt;截至今年3月31日，巴菲特持有720萬股該股，占投資組合的0.31%，索羅斯持股量較少，僅51萬股，占其投資組合的0.28%。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;據香港媒體援引外電的報道稱，美國股市在第二季顯著造好，投資市場出現一番新氣象。"股神"巴菲特、"金融大鳄"索羅斯等多位著名投資者近日陸續公布季度投資數據，他們不約而同增持醫藥系股份，減持康菲石油。另外，多個投資基金看好全美最大銀行美國銀行，至于零售及制造業股份則遭到沽售，反映這些頂級投資者在經濟回穩後，對零售業前景仍不樂觀。巴菲特的投資旗艦巴郡公司在第二季對投資組合進行了大規模調整，進一步減持多家企業股票，包括大幅減持能源股份Constellation及康菲石油，此外多家醫療保險公司、二手車經銷商、工業設備制造商及家具零售商等亦遭到減持。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;索羅斯基金管理公司則看好資源股，除策略性減持巴西石油公司、抛售康菲石油外，他期內增持並購入最少4間能源企業股份。零售業不獲索羅斯看好，全美最大零售商沃爾瑪及第二大連鎖藥房Walgreen均被減持。近日公布投資組合的，還有去年在次按危機獲巨利的對衝基金經理保爾森的Paulson &amp;amp; Co.，以及紐約對衝基金經理巴拉卡特的Atticus Capital LP。他們與索羅斯一樣看好美銀前景，紛紛增持。美銀第二季業績好過市場預期，股價自1月至今升逾兩成。藥業股則同時獲得上述4間投資機構垂青。除巴郡外，其余3大基金均在第二季分別增持輝瑞或惠氏藥廠，主要是因爲輝瑞即將收購惠氏，有助刺激股價。主張長線投資的巴菲特，去年底不得已減持3,310萬股瓊森公司股份套現，今年則連續兩季增持，顯示他對瓊森情有獨锺。醫療設備供貨商Becton Dickinson亦首次獲巴菲特垂青。巴郡爲免泄露投資策略，向證券及交易委員會申請保密部分持股資料，故外界未能完全了解其投資動向。截至6月30日，巴郡總投資規模由首季度末的408.7億美元增至489.5億美元。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;巴菲特賣能源股 蓋茲大買【經濟日報╱編譯莊雅婷／綜合外電】 2009.08.16 03:16 am&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;美國證券管理委員會（SEC）的最新資料顯示，股神巴菲特、投資大師索羅斯和雅虎大股東艾康（Carl Icahn），第二季不約而同減碼能源類股，微軟創辦人蓋茲的策略則背道而馳，他買進能源股、出清醫藥股。根據波克夏公司14日向SEC申報的資料，巴菲特第二季大幅出清康菲石油（ConocoPhillips）持股，從7,120萬股減至6,450萬股，同時也全數拋售持有的星座能源集團（Constellation）的1,480萬股。巴菲特減持能源股有跡可循，今年2月他曾表示，在能源價格漲到最高點時買進康菲石油是「一大失誤」，波克夏因此賠了數十億美元。不過，他當時預期，今年下半年能源價格將持續走高，漲破每桶40至50美元的價位。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;波克夏上季的最大筆投資，是加碼醫藥與消費品製造商嬌生公司近400萬股，使持股總數達到3,700萬股左右。波克夏上季的新投資是買進實驗設備公司Becton Dickinson 120萬股。Carret Zane資本管理公司分析師貝茲說，老字號的Becton Dickinson是業界佼佼者，其現金流量和獲利展望容易預測，他說：「巴菲特積極投資健康照護領域，並看好高齡社會的投資機會。」另一方面，比爾與梅琳達蓋茲基金會上季全數出清嬌生250萬股持股，同時賣掉包括先靈葆雅（Schering-Plough ）、惠氏、默克和禮來（Eli Lilly）等藥廠在內的所有製藥類股。蓋茲基金會長期協助開發中國家改善醫療狀況，因此減持醫藥類股格外令人注目。在此同時，歐巴瑪政府改革健保體制的計畫，已引發製藥業者和醫療保險公司的疑慮，擔憂處方藥價格將受壓抑。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;該基金會上季買進XTO能源、Range資源和Cabot石油天然氣公司等能源類股。其他投資還包括南美電信龍頭美洲無線通訊公司（America Movil）、鐵路業者CSX和M&amp;amp;T銀行等。索羅斯創辦的索羅斯基金管理公司，第二季把巴西石油公司的美國存托憑證（ADR）持股降到980萬股，無表決權ADR股數也剩下590萬股。在第一季末，索羅斯基金共持有巴西石油公司3,160萬股ADR。該基金也減碼康菲石油和沃爾瑪等公司，但加碼&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;汽車零件零售商AutoZone公司&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;、漢堡王控股公司（Burger King）和美國銀行。新增投資則有戴爾和輝瑞藥廠。艾康上季的投資組合變動不大，持股比最重的仍是雅虎、生技公司Biogen Idec和摩托羅拉。不過，他已全數出清石油天然氣業者威廉斯公司（Williams Cos.）的持股，只加碼Lions Gate娛樂公司。 &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

/&gt;美國華生製藥（Watson）17日宣布將以17億5000萬美元收購私營的飛箭集團（Arrow），這象徵學名藥生產商正積極拓展國際市場。華生製藥表示，收購飛箭後營收可以增加6億4700萬美元，並將業務擴大到加拿大、法國、英國等20多個國家；此前華生的業務基本集中在國內。兩家學名藥業者合併後的年營收可望超過30億美元，由於還需要監管部門的批准，這項交易預計在下半年完成，明年開始將為華生製藥帶來收益。華生製藥執行長畢沙羅表示，這樁收購可以讓華生的產品在全球銷售，在國際學名藥市場也能獲得更大競爭優勢。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;飛箭集團目前經營100多種學名藥，未來三年可能再增加40多種，其中最受矚目的就是將再2011年11月獲得輝瑞製藥（Pfizer）降膽固醇藥物Lipitor在美國的學名藥銷售權。按照協議，華生製藥將向飛箭集團的股東支付10億5000萬美元的現金，以及1690萬股公司流通股價值5億美元，剩餘的2億美元將以優先股形式在交易完成後三年內兌現。晨星公司（Morningstar）分析師郎格納表示，「考慮到學名版Lipitor帶來的巨大收益，這個交易價格非常合理。」 &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;新能源汽車的夢想與現實 鉅亨網新聞中心 (來源：財匯資訊，摘自：中國證券報) 2009/06/19&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;「2015年將是新能源電動車的時代。」比亞迪汽車銷售公司副總經理王建均面對眾多新聞媒體記者時顯得十分自信，這種自信的底氣當然一方面來自巴菲特的入股，並且公司在資本市場上的股價扶搖直上。而另一方面則是，公司生產的F3DM雙模電動車不僅符合國家的新能源鼓勵政策，產品還已經獲得了包括深圳和香港政府有關部門的試用，今年9月份，將開始向個人銷售。一位資深的市場人士表示，到了比亞迪參觀之後，才發現，王傳福玩得不僅僅是汽車，而是代表著未來新能源的方向。但是，這個夢想離現實到底還有多遠，仍是一個問題。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;從電池到汽車，王傳福似乎一直堅持著一種多元化發展的經營策略，在電池領域，他做到了中國乃至世界的前列；而在汽車領域，王傳福也喊出了「到2015年，比亞迪要做到汽車單一品牌全國第一，2025年比亞迪要做到汽車單一品牌世界第一」的豪言壯語，但這些似乎都還不是王傳福最鍾情的真正夢想。一位多年來跟蹤比亞迪的記者在實地參觀了公司位於深圳的總部基地後，他猛然地發出了「原來王傳福真正想玩的是新能源」的感歎。中國證券報記者在實地採訪時也切身感受到了這一點，在深圳總部基地，你不僅可以看到正在建設的太陽能面板基地，而且你還會被帶到公司一座取名「未來城」的樓房當中，在那裡你可以看到被新能源構築的「未來世界」：利用風能和電能發出的電、用新能源材料製造的LED的照明燈……&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;「騰中收購悍馬已經是一種過時的選擇，比亞迪代表的才是未來的方向。」香港一位資深的投行人士在和中國證券報記者閒聊的時也是這樣評論。不過，就像當年從一個電池企業而進入汽車領域引起外界質疑一樣，比亞迪生產的新能源汽車也一直受到外界的質疑。因官司和比亞迪交惡的台商郭台銘就公開質疑：「我想請問巴菲特敢不敢開比亞迪的電動、汽油雙模車子親自上下班？」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;這種帶有嚴重懷疑比亞迪新能源汽車的言辭中，雖然可能是個人的一種情緒宣洩，但新能源汽車要達到普及的確還有一段很長的路要走。正如王建均自己坦言的那樣，新能源汽車目前還面臨著一些問題，而首先要解決的是敢用的問題，現在很多人不敢用這款車，因為中國人的心理暗示會自覺不自覺地與燃油車比較，因為之前都沒有使用，因此出於對安全的考慮，選擇還是會比較謹慎。此外，價格的問題也是值得考慮的。「對於一個環保意識還不太強烈的人，讓他去選擇一款同是一個系統平台體系但是價格卻貴上一倍的新能源汽車，會是一個難以決定的選擇。」一位負責新能源汽車銷售的負責人如是表達了他的擔心。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;而比亞迪的雙模電動車也遇到了這樣的困惑，與F3每款價格的7.9萬元相比，F3DM14.98萬元的價格高出了一倍，這對於消費者而言，是不得不考慮的問題。雖然，王建均透露，深圳近期可能出台新能源汽車購買鼓勵政策，對購買者給予5-8萬元的現金補貼，但他同時也承認，這可能不是一個長期的政策。而銷售這樣高的價格，他坦承，廠家的盈利空間也基本上沒有。除了上述問題之外，給新能源汽車充電的充電站也是一個很麻煩的問題。王建均稱，建立充電站關鍵是土地，土地可以算是一個稀缺資源，牽扯各個部門，如果等充電站真正成為一個像加油站一樣，能夠成為吸取利潤的行業或產業的話，國家可能會設立更高的門檻或者更高的准入政策。&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;20090621: 美中能源恐怕看中的就是充電站的生意. 如果電能真的形成創造性破壞, 不存在甚麼土地問題, 加油站會自動變成充電站.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

May 31, 2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The U.S. soft drink industry is planning a public relations campaign to counter fears of a chemical used in can linings, The Washington Post reported Sunday. The newspaper said it had obtained internal notes of a private meeting in Washington last week among representatives of the can manufacturing industry, Coca-Cola Co., lobbyists and others, in which they discussed crafting a publicity and lobbying push to counter efforts to ban the chemical bisphenol A, or BPA.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BPA, which is added to plastics and can linings used in food packaging, has been linked to breast cancer and reproductive problems in laboratory animals, the Post said. Quoting notes from the meeting, the newspaper said strategies discussed included "using fear tactics (e.g. 'Do you want to have access to baby food anymore?') as well as giving control back to consumers (e.g. you have a choice between the more expensive product that is frozen or fresh or foods packaged in cans) as ways to dissuade people from choosing BPA-free packaging." "We had discussions about whether people really understand what the ramifications would be if BPA were eliminated and alternatives aren't in place," industry lobbyist Kathleen Roberts told the Post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Coca-Cola's Weak Brew, Take Two By Rich Smith (TMF Ditty) May 29, 2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Never kick a man when he's down," goes the ancient admonition. But as Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) might argue, "when he's down" is often the safest time to kick him. Over in Seattle, Starbucks (Nasdaq: SBUX) is busy fending off a smiling challenge from McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) McCafe. With the coffee-meister preoccupied defending its core business, Coke has decided that now's a great time to sneak in a quick kick on Starbucks' blind side. As you may recall, last year Coke teamed up with Italy's illycaffe to create a joint venture to hawk canned, ready-to-drink (RTD) coffee concoctions -- "Caffe," "Cappuccino," and "Latte Macchiato" under the "illy issimo" brand name.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back then, I argued against the new joint venture's name: "Ilko Coffee." (Sound it out. That's right: "Ill-co".) But it's hard to argue with the timing -- or the success. When it announced the partnership last year, Coke boasted of a $16 billion market opportunity, which was growing in excess of 10% per year. Fast forward 14 months, and Coke's CEO Muhtar Kent now puts the market at $17.4 billion in size. For those in the class who forgot to bring their calculators, I'll give you the answer: The market actually grew at 7.5%, annualized.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sure, sure. So the market's not ramping up quite as well as expected. But in case you haven't noticed, we're in a bit of an economic slump right now. When you consider that both Starbucks and McDonald's, and also Procter &amp;amp; Gamble (NYSE: PG) and Kraft (NYSE: KFT) (read: "Folgers" and "Maxwell House," respectively), saw their sales slide in the most recent quarter, well, 7.5% growth doesn't look half bad. Coke had a bad quarter, too, revenue-wise, as did PepsiCo (NYSE: PEP), which currently dominates the $2 billion U.S. RTD coffee market by selling bottled DoubleShot, Frappuccino, and canned iced coffee in cooperation with ... Starbucks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So it's little wonder that Coke wants to break into this growing market stateside, where approximately 11% of worldwide RTD coffee sales take place. Coke recently launched distribution of illy issimo in three U.S. cities -- New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles -- distributing the drinks through upscale locations such as Whole Foods (Nasdaq: WFMI) -- and perforce, targeting the same well-heeled clientele who eschew McDonald's and hew to Starbucks. And once it's kicked Starbucks (and -- for bonus points -- Pepsi) here in the U.S., Coke aims to tackle the biggest RTD market of them all: Japan. That's where 75% of the market lies and where we'll ultimately see Coke's coffee klatsch succeed or fail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;20090601: KO最近一個重點指標是罐裝coffee能不能做得成功. 時機算是頗適合. 我們幾乎都忘了連鎖咖啡店的慘況…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;2009年 06月 02日通用汽車的啟示：好公司為何會變壞&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;我在密歇根州長大﹐所以通用汽車 (General Motors) 申請破產保護就像發生在我家門口的事。曾幾何時美國市場上一半多的汽車都是通用汽車生產的﹐而現在﹐這家幾十年來一直雄局全球工業界頭把交椅的公司成了政府的監護對象。通用汽車走到今天這步田地﹐並不是因為某項謀劃不周的決定而一失足成千古恨。相反﹐它是一路低頭邁著小碎步走進死胡同的。通用汽車就像一個每天吸兩包煙的煙民﹐它在慢性自殺。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;不可靠的汽車質量、有毒的勞工環境、品牌認同的混亂、笨重的動力總成﹐與零部件供應商的糟糕關係以及低於平均水平的汽車轉售價值﹐這些都是通用汽車公司管理模式的慢性病症狀﹐這種模式將盈利看作是一種遊戲﹐而不是記分板﹐&lt;strong&gt;它更&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;看重金融花招&lt;/span&gt;而不是有創新性的工程設計﹐它讓那些擁有MBA學位的外行去管理汽車業的內行。&lt;/strong&gt;不到八個月前﹐時任通用汽車董事長的瓦格納 (Rick Wagoner) 還吹噓說﹐這家公司準備再當100年業界領頭羊﹐能說出這種話的人要麼是傻樂觀﹐要麼是不可救藥的想入非非者。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;自打我記事起﹐為通用汽車辯解的人就一直聲稱這家公司正在取得進步﹐他們曾經是對的。很長一段時間內通用汽車一直在不斷取得進步﹐但從40年前起這家公司就開始走下坡路了。雪佛蘭美宜堡 (Chevrolet Malibu) 和雪佛蘭ZR1 (Corvette ZR1)、別克昂科雷 (Buick Enclave) 和凱迪拉克CTS-V (Cadillac CTS-V)：無論以什麼標準衡量﹐這些車型都可謂出色。問題在於﹐跟通用汽車其他車型一貫的平庸相比﹐這些車型顯得尤為卓越。多年來﹐卓越在通用只是偶爾變異的結果﹐而不是盡一切努力追求的熱情。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;一家公司如果一開始就處於全球規模最大的經濟體﹐在一個巨大的、難以滲透的市場內佔有主導份額﹐它就能憑借慣性在很長時間內保持動力－－但只要有足夠的時間﹐並做出足夠多越來越短視的決策﹐這家公司最終會失去前進的勢頭。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;通用汽車並不是當前唯一一家熄火的公司。摩托羅拉(Motorola)、花旗(Citi)、NASCAR、星巴克(Starbucks)、索尼(Sony)、聯合航空公司(United Airlines)、百代(Emi)、柯達(Kodak)、意大利航空公司(Alitalia)、電信公司Sprint Nextel、《紐約時報》(the New York Times)、聯合利華公司(Unilever)、美國在線(AOL)和克萊斯勒(Chrysler)－－這些只是少數似乎失去了護身符的企業。事實是﹐每家企業都是成功的﹐直到它不再成功的那一天﹐而如今有很多不再成功的企業。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;怎麼會出現這種情況？昨天的偶像怎麼會成了今天的敗將？卓越品質怎麼會退化？是什麼導致了公司的焦躁？這些問題都很重要。當一家公司出現嚴重問題時﹐所有人都會蒙受損失：股東、員工和顧客。多年來﹐我眼見許多公司迷失了方向。以下就是這一切的發生過程。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;首先﹐重力的影響。有三大物理學法則往往會拉平成功的弧度。第一個是大數法則。我們都知道﹐一家大公司要實現增長比小公司難得多。要讓一家規模400億美元的公司增長25%﹐就需要創造10個10億美元的新業務。而一家規模4,000萬美元的公司增長同樣幅度只需要一個1,000萬美元的新業務。企業就跟生物學的原理一樣﹐體形大者成長較慢。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;然後是平均律。沒有哪家公司的表現能夠無限期地超出平均水平。韋爾奇(Jack Welch) 在通用電氣 (GE) 任職的最後五年中﹐通用電氣市值從略低於1,400億美元增長到逾4,000億美元。要想保持這種熾熱的增長速度﹐2001年9月接替韋爾奇的伊梅爾特 (Jeff Immelt) 就得讓通用電氣的市值在2006年8月達到逾1.2萬億美元－－但這種情況永遠不可能出現。隨著你將相關時限從一年延長到5年、10年﹐超出平均水平的可能性會迅速趨近於零。從長遠看﹐可以說沒有永遠增長的公司。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;最後﹐是收益遞減規則。任何著重於收入增長或提高利潤的項目的回報都會逐漸減少。當市場成熟時﹐營利增長放緩﹔當快要啃到硬骨頭時﹐生產率增速也會放緩。逐漸地﹐為了增加收益﹐需要付出越來越多的努力﹐而生產效率卻越來越低。儘管這三條法則不像重力法則那樣硬性﹐但要克服它們也絕非易事──而且很少有公司能做到這點。第二﹐戰略也會消亡。就像人類一樣﹐戰略在它們產生的那一刻就開始走向死亡。儘管死亡可以被推遲﹐卻是無可避免的。下面剖析了戰略消亡的三種主要原因。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;聰明的戰略會被復製。惠普（Hewlett-Packard）最終學會了如何像戴爾（Dell）一樣低成本地生產電腦。捷藍（JetBlue）從西南航空公司（Southwest Airline）的經營之道中學了一招。Cialis&amp;amp;Levitra闖進了Viagra的領地。Facebook在“聚友網”（MySpace）開創的社交網絡模式上建立起自己的業務。儘管有些戰略比其他戰略更難摹仿（尤其是那些產生網絡效應的戰略）﹐但多數都可以被孜孜不倦的競爭者破解。再受尊崇的戰略都會被取代。數碼相機讓膠片變得過時。可下載音樂擠掉了CD的市場。Skype讓其使用者可以繞開昂貴的長途電話費。在線新聞綜合網站掏空了報紙的利潤。有時新進者會改進現有的戰略﹐但偶爾也會把它驅逐出局。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;原本利潤可觀的戰略會被榨幹利潤空間。互聯網使議價能力發生了戲劇性的轉移──從生產者轉移到消費者。擁有近乎完全信息的消費者能夠壓低幾乎任何商品的價格。對於很多公司而言﹐擁有充分信息的消費者比整備精良的競爭者構成更大的贏利威脅。在生命中﹐死亡可能會突如其來。在商界中﹐這永遠不應該發生。只要方法得當﹐戰略的過時情況在很大程度上是可以預測的﹐但很少有公司會花力氣去這樣做。雖然一個步履蹣跚的老者無法棄掉他衰朽的軀殼﹐換上一個年輕而有活力的身體﹐一家公司卻可以──至少在理論上行得通。當公司無法逃出行將失效的戰略的掌控時﹐它才會死亡。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;第三﹐變化總會發生。想一想曾經以指數遞增速度發生變化的那些事情吧：排列出的基因序列數量、聯接到互聯網的機器數量、全球的手機數量、二氧化碳排放量、全球的可用帶寬量、以及信息本身的產量。過去﹐有很多東西保護行業內現有企業免受創造性破壞的強烈沖擊﹐包括監管壁壘、技術門檻、銷售渠道壟斷和資本約束。但在多數行業中﹐這些壁壘已經在瓦解。不連續性破壞了舊有的商業模式﹐為新進者創造了機會。所以戰略不只是會消亡﹐它還比以前消亡得更快──而且這是不爭的事實。在過去幾十年中﹐產品優勢和技術優勢消逝的速度越來越快。同時﹐當期收益狀況和未來收益狀況之間的關聯性也變得越來越弱。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;事實是﹐多數企業從來就不是為了變化而建立的──它們是為了永遠出色而高效地做好一件事情而建立的。這就是為什麼許多產業中的企業會適應不了變化而被整體淘汰出局──就像大型製藥業、出版業、唱片音樂業和美國的大型航空公司。在變化如疾風驟雨而非輕風細雨般來臨的時代﹐公司能繼續獲得成功的唯一途徑就是在被逼無奈之前徹底進行自我創新──即使是最聰明的公司﹐想要在這點上做得漂亮也很難。&lt;br

Magazine&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Volkswagen says it has signed a "&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;memorandum&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; of understanding" with Chinese carmaker BYD to explore "options for partnership in the area of hybrids and electric vehicles powered by lithium batteries." Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway bought a 10 percent stake in BYD last fall, and Buffett has been personally promoting the company's efforts. (See last month's WBW post Fortune Puts Warren Buffett In "Car of the Future" Driver's Seat.") A Volkswagen executive is quoted in a company statement as saying, "Volkswagen will consistently expand its successful ‘BlueMotionTechnologies’.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hybrids and electric vehicles will play an increasingly important role, of course. Particularly for the Chinese market, potential partners such as BYD could support us in quickly expanding our activities." Dow Jones notes that many of the world's biggest automakers are scrambling to "secure supplies of batteries for alternative vehicles" and reports that BYD is also talking to Ford Motor about "similar arrangements."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"One major obstacle in the race is that there's not enough capacity in the industry to produce lithium-ion batteries -- a factor that is pushing auto makers like Volkswagen to team up with multiple lithium-ion battery suppliers. Aside from BYD, Volkswagen already has signed letters of intent with Japan's Sanyo Electric Co. and Toshiba Corp., another Japanese battery producer." BYD says it has developed new technology that makes its lithium-ion batteries safer and less expensive that other similar products.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;May 13, 2009 The Coca-Cola System Advances New Solutions for Economic Development&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In a panel discussion today at the Brookings Institution, President Bill Clinton, Muhtar Kent, Chairman and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company, and Pat Woertz, Chairman, CEO and President of Archer Daniels Midland Company, discussed ways business can play a role in creating value for both shareholders and society. They emphasized the value of leveraging core business activities to foster growth and development, especially in emerging markets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Coca-Cola system’s Manual Distribution Center (MDC) program in Africa was referenced as an example of an innovative solution that advances both business goals and the international development agenda. Coca-Cola’s approach to distributing its products in hard-to-reach urban and peri-urban areas in Africa utilizes small businesses that deliver Coca-Cola products manually to local small-scale retailers. The MDCs account for over 80 percent of the company’s sales in East Africa while creating small-business ownership opportunities and jobs for an increasing number of first-time entrepreneurs and women. To date, the Coca-Cola system has created over 2,500 MDCs in Africa employing over 12,000 people and generating over $500 million in annual revenues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“For Coca-Cola, the Manual Distribution Centers are a wonderful example of the way business can focus on meeting its consumers’ and customers’ needs while supporting the sustainability of communities,” said Muhtar Kent, Chairman and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company. “It has long been our philosophy to look at our business system holistically and determine where we can have the greatest impact on advancing initiatives that are critical to the communities and stakeholders that we rely on.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Company has been committed to scaling-up the number of MDCs in Africa since joining the Business Call to Action, an initiative that mobilizes large companies to help reach the Millennium Development Goals by harnessing core business competencies. To determine how best to scale-up its model, Coca-Cola asked the Corporate Social Responsibility Initiative at the Harvard Kennedy School and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) to review the approach.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During 2008, a review of the current operations of the MDC model in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania and Addis Ababa, Ethiopia was conducted.“There is a growing recognition in the corporate and international development communities that the most sustainable contribution companies can make to poverty alleviation is to carry out their core business activities in a profitable, responsible and inclusive manner,” said Jane Nelson of the Harvard Kennedy School. “Our review of Manual Distribution Centers in Tanzania and Ethiopia demonstrates the potential of large corporations to build economically viable business linkages with small enterprises in their value chains, which can also have development benefits,” said IFC Director Toshiya Masuoka.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The research study identified a number of opportunities to further enhance the MDC approach. These include: 1) investing in continuous improvement of the core business model through improved access to finance and expanded and enhanced training; 2) broadening socio-economic opportunity for MDC owners and employees through life skills and further education opportunities; 3) promoting small business development and entrepreneurship more widely by supporting entrepreneurship education and advocacy for small enterprise development, 4) exploring how the business model could distribute social products or messages; and 5) undertaking participatory evaluation and action-based learning.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;U.S. group sues Coke over Vitaminwater health claims&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A U.S. consumer group said on Thursday it filed a class action lawsuit against Coca-Cola Co, accusing the company of making deceptive health claims about its Vitaminwater beverages. The lawsuit, filed on Wednesday in U.S. District Court in the Northern District of California, comes just weeks after the world's largest soft drink maker was warned by U.S. health regulators about the way it markets a different product. Coke called the suit "ridiculous." The Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) said Coke made a range of claims about Vitaminwater that go beyond those allowed by the Food and Drug Administration.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Coke markets Vitaminwater as a healthful alternative to soda by labeling its several flavors with such health buzz words as 'defense,' 'rescue,' 'energy' and 'endurance,'" the group said in a statement. The company also claims the drinks reduce the risk of chronic disease and eye disease, promote healthy joints and support immune function, CSPI said. "In fact, according to CSPI nutritionists, the 33 grams of sugar in each bottle of Vitaminwater do more to promote obesity, diabetes and other health problems than the vitamins in the drinks do to perform the advertised benefits listed on the bottles," the consumer group said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coke spokeswoman Diana Garza Ciarlante fired back, saying the suit was a way for the Washington, DC-based group to increase readership of its newsletter. "Glaceau vitaminwater is clearly and properly labeled and shows the amount of vitamins and calories in the product," Ciarlante said in a statement. CSPI said on a conference call it hopes Coke will change its marketing practices. Secondly, a spokesman said the group would like to see consumers reimbursed "if there is a decent way to get money back to people."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coke, which had long lagged archrival PepsiCo Inc in the area of noncarbonated drinks, said in May 2007 that it would acquire Vitaminwater maker Glaceau for $4.1 billion.Coke and Pepsi both sell so-called functional beverages, which they say have vitamins, nutrients or stimulants such as caffeine or guarana. Coke came under fire in December by the FDA, which said claims Diet Coke Plus includes a variety of vitamins and minerals violate U.S. policy against marketing soda and other snack foods as more nutritious.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Coke CEO sees canned coffee growing despite recession Thu May 28, 2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coca-Cola Co (KO.N) and Italian coffee roaster illycaffe SpA expect coffee drinkers around the world to buy their new high-end canned coffee drinks despite a global economic slowdown that has many people cutting back on impulse purchases. "We still believe that despite the current economic environment, it's going to do well and continue to grow," said Coke Chief Executive Muhtar Kent on Thursday at a press conference where the companies discussed Ilko Coffee International, a joint venture they formed more than a year ago to sell "illy issimo" canned coffee drinks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Illycaffe Chairman Andrea Illy said the recession was changing people's coffee habits."People go less to coffee shops and this represents a huge opportunity to intercept consumption in other places with other products," Illy said. Illy issimo drinks are now sold in 15 countries, largely in Europe, and Coke said it expects to be in 20 by the end of the year. The drinks recently launched in the United States, with distribution in Los Angeles, New York and San Francisco.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The U.S. market, worth roughly $2 billion, is dominated by the joint venture of PepsiCo Inc (PEP.N) and Starbucks Corp (SBUX.O) that sells bottled Starbucks Frappuccino and Doubleshot espresso drinks. Coke's illy issimo drinks, which include an espresso, a latte macchiato and a cappuccino beverage, cost about $2.69, or about 15 percent more than the Starbucks drinks, the company said. It is targeting upscale locations such as Whole Foods Market Inc (WFMI.O).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The drinks will soon launch in Japan, which the companies said accounts for three-fourths of the roughly $17.4 billion market for ready-to-drink coffee beverages. The brand now has about 17 percent market share in the 10 countries that made up its initial launch, such as Croatia, Greece and Ukraine. "Our objective is to achieve leadership -- and that will be at least 30 percent market share globally of the ready-to-drink coffee business around the world," Kent said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;20090531: Kent上任後做的事很合我們的意. 廣告概念深中核心. 買好喝的飲料背後的意思就是花一點小錢來購買一小段的快樂. 賣小罐的商業原理跟85度C賣小蛋糕一樣, 刺激銷量的成功率很大.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3345907756059445902-5176520876432799923?l=aaphoneman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aaphoneman.blogspot.com/feeds/5176520876432799923/comments/default' title='張貼意見'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3345907756059445902&amp;postID=5176520876432799923' title='0 個意見'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3345907756059445902/posts/default/5176520876432799923'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3345907756059445902/posts/default/5176520876432799923'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aaphoneman.blogspot.com/2009/05/2009-week-22.html' title='2009 Week 22'/><author><name>阿尼</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16386106581617903762</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345907756059445902.post-6512110375761747605</id><published>2009-05-22T23:43:00.013+08:00</published><updated>2009-06-04T12:39:49.456+08:00</updated><title type='text'>2009 Week 21</title><content type='html'>&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;I should emphasize that, as citizens, Charlie and I welcome change: Fresh ideas, new products, innovative processes and the like cause our country's standard of living to rise, and that's clearly good. As investors, however, our reaction to &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;a fermenting industry&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; is much like our attitude toward space exploration: We applaud the endeavor but prefer &lt;span style="color:#663366;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;to skip the ride&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. [BRK 1996 Annual Report] IT產業, 或是高科技產業, 真是精采, 閱讀他們的資料愈來愈令人覺得熱血. 我們猜想是所謂的animal spirit或是睪硐素造就的. 或者是高IQ的人, 無法滿足於太平淡的活動.

If we think through these questions, we can gain some insights about what may be called "&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;owner earnings&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;." These represent (a) reported earnings plus (b) depreciation, depletion, amortization, and certain other non-cash charges such as Company N's items (1) and (4) less (c) the average annual amount of capitalized expenditures for plant and equipment, etc. that the business requires &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;to fully maintain&lt;/span&gt; its long-term &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;competitive position&lt;/span&gt; and its &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;unit volume&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/strong&gt; (If the business requires additional working capital to maintain its competitive position and unit volume, the increment also should be included in (c) . However, businesses following the LIFO inventory method usually do not require additional working capital if unit volume does not change.) [BRK 1986 Annual Report] 過去, 我們單純的腦袋以觀察過去十年的購置固定資產項目和盈餘之間的關係來決定c是多少, 現在看來是一個重大錯誤, 造成有些公司被高估, 又有些公司被低估. 注意那個maintain. 如果”maintain”成立, 那麼買固定資產花了多少, 算free cash flow就得扣去多少, 如果算出的free cash flow為零, 不用懷疑, 就真的為零. Our owner-earnings equation does not yield the deceptively precise figures provided by GAAP, since (c) must be &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;a guess&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; - and one &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;sometimes very difficult to make&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Despite this problem, we consider the owner earnings figure, not the GAAP figure, to be the relevant item for valuation purposes - both for investors in buying stocks and for managers in buying entire businesses. We agree with Keynes's observation: "&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;I would rather be vaguely right than precisely wrong&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;."

(KO) is set to give up its attempt to buy a minority stake in China Huiyuan Juice Group Ltd. (1886.HK), the China Daily reported Monday, citing a source close to the U.S. company. The source said Coca-Cola, whose bid to take over the company was blocked by Chinese regulators, decided that if it couldn't have complete control of the company it didn't want any involvement, the English-language newspaper reported.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;l          The Cola Wars' Unexpected Twist (PEP, PBG, KO) May 11, 2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The cola wars took a somewhat unexpected turn in recent days as offers made by PepsiCo (NYSE:PEP) were rejected by the two bottlers it was trying to acquire. In other words, rather than focusing on archrivals and outward markets, Pepsi will have to devote significant time and resources to wooing the partners that are responsible for getting Pepsi products to market. But who will benefit?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A May 7 press release from PepsiAmericas (NYSE:PAS) rejected Pepsi's buyout proposal of $23.27 per share (at the time of announcement) as "not acceptable and ... not in the best interest of ... shareholders" as it "substantially undervalues the synergies that can be obtained in the proposed transaction". Pepsi Bottling Group (NYSE:PBG) was a bit more blunt when it detailed similar reasoning on May 4. PBG's letter claimed that Pepsi's offer was "grossly inadequate" and that it understated the synergies and cost-saving benefits that could come with a merger. Pepsi's bid for Pepsi Bottling valued it at $29.50 per share at the time of the announcement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pepsi estimates that it will cost $6 billion to acquire the portions it doesn't already own in the two bottling companies, and that the combined synergies would be at least $200 million, or 15 cents in additional earnings when the cost-savings are fully realized. Unsurprisingly, Pepsi is standing firm with its offer and said it would provide control of more than 80% of its North American volume, adding to earnings and helping bring its product to market more quickly and efficiently.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At this point it's difficult to discern the amount of possible cost savings, and there is speculation that the two bottlers are just posturing for a higher buyout price before accepting the offers. In addition, Pepsi already owns 33% and 43% of the outstanding shares of Pepsi Bottling and PepsiAmericas. Pepsi Bottling states that PepsiCo controls 40.2% of its voting stock, while PepsiAmericas calculated that Pepsi beneficially owns 43% of its common stock, which allows Pepsi to "significantly affect the outcome of our shareholder votes."  (For more, see Which Is Better: Dominance Or Innovation?)    &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In other words, the bottlers in question likely have little wiggle room in avoiding Pepsi's bear hug. Funnily enough, it's the shareholders of Pepsi Bottling and PepsiAmericas that have the most to gain from a possible merger, by gaining shares in Pepsi and its stronger capital generation capabilities; this is evidenced by Pepsi's returns on invested capital (ROIC), which consistently exceed 20%. In stark contrast, ROIC at the bottlers is less than half this amount as annual capital expenditure needs eat up more than half of operating cash flow on an annual basis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Throw in a hefty share premium from Pepsi, with potential for more upside, and it's hard to see the mergers not going through. It may not be all sour milk for existing Pepsi shareholders either, given synergy benefits could turn out better than expected. Though Pepsi does not consolidate the results of Pepsi Bottling and PepsiAmericas, it already reflects its share of net income based on current ownership percentages, which is significant. In my mind, Coca Cola's (NYSE:KO) model with bottlers, including the Coca-Cola Bottling Company (Nasdaq:COKE), is superior to Pepsi's and leaves the capital-intensive operations off its books. But in the grand scheme of things, the businesses of the bottlers and parent companies are very intertwined, regardless of how the business structure is arranged.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3345907756059445902-5480394414346645481?l=aaphoneman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aaphoneman.blogspot.com/feeds/5480394414346645481/comments/default' title='張貼意見'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3345907756059445902&amp;postID=5480394414346645481' title='0 個意見'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3345907756059445902/posts/default/5480394414346645481'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3345907756059445902/posts/default/5480394414346645481'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aaphoneman.blogspot.com/2009/05/2009-week-20.html' title='2009 Week 20'/><author><name>阿尼</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16386106581617903762</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345907756059445902.post-1560119968058340407</id><published>2009-05-07T08:53:00.011+08:00</published><updated>2009-05-09T19:26:56.155+08:00</updated><title type='text'>2009 Week 19</title><content type='html'>&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;蓋茨回應巴菲特:微軟並不害怕Google2009年05月06日&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;福克斯商業新聞網 (FoxBusinessNetwork) 週一對巴菲特和蓋茨先後進行了專訪，在蓋茨的訪談臨近結束時，訪談主持人莉斯-克萊曼 (LizClaman) 談到了巴菲特所衷愛的穀歌。巴菲特所提出“Google不可超越”論，“&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#006600;"&gt;股神”表示Google的&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;搜索廣告業務&lt;/span&gt;令人難以置信，我不知道競爭對手如何能夠超越Google。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;蓋茨對此回擊說，微軟並非害怕Google。他表示，科技公司達到這樣的實力需要一定的時間，但有人願意向這些壕溝發起衝擊令人感到欣喜。微軟並沒有受到穀歌這些壕溝的阻礙。他說，“我們注視著壕溝中的每一隻鱷魚，並會向它們發起衝擊。”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;巴菲特對此回應說，“沒有鯊魚想要遇見他 (指蓋茨)。”蓋茨最後說到，“所以說，這是一個艱巨的事情。但是當有人挺身而出，說我們願意提供更好的搜索產品，消費者將會從中受益。”很明顯，Google在搜索領域需要競爭對手，蓋茨的說法並非沒有道理，從歷史角度看，Google在搜索市場上需要對手，而微軟也許是唯一的對手。而對於用戶而言，在搜索市場上有多家服務商絕不是一件壞事。無論誰最終將會勝出，互聯網都會因為有著不只一個搜索引擎而變得更加健康。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;20090507: Buffett十分懂銀行, 但的確不是很了解資訊技術. 資訊技術歸資訊技術, 批著高科技的外衣,骨子裡還是廣告生意, 是爭奪眼球的戰爭.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;巴菲特股東會問答精華&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;近年，巴菲特積極尋找新興國家投資標的，因為波克夏很難在美國市場複製過去的高成長紀錄。譬如，過去巴菲特從來不投資「他看不懂的東西」，但波克夏去年卻破例買了中國比亞迪一○％股權。股東會上，一位股東問出了外界的好奇：「（入股）比亞迪看起來&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;更像是風險資本投資&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;， 而不是一項價值投資。你能解釋一下這項投資背後的邏輯嗎？」 巴菲特微笑解釋，「過去三年我們沒聽過比亞迪，過去一年也沒有多少人聽過，但中國是很大的市場，那裡有很多機會，過去GEICO（波克夏旗下承作車險的保險公司）進入中國市場還有限制……，比亞迪是我們一個機會，」「我們本來想投資比亞迪更多，但一○％已是他們願意賣給我們的上限了。」接著，他將問題傳給了孟格，笑稱，「孟格才是領銜這個投資案的人。」 孟格解釋，「（入股）&lt;strong&gt;比亞迪不是投資初創階段的風險事業，比亞迪是全世界最大的充電電池公司之一，……他們生產的電池，所有的美國公司都需要它，世界所有的公司都需要它。&lt;/strong&gt;」 他進而試圖說服股東，「比亞迪可能是一家小公司，但是它有很大的野心，&lt;strong&gt;如果比亞迪（未來）不成功，我將&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;非常驚訝&lt;/span&gt;。&lt;/strong&gt;」 &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;20090508: 果然有些人認為投資BYD是個VC, 我們原本也這麼想, 不過看Munger說得如此有把握...&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;巴菲特稱：美國報紙行業也許永遠也不會復蘇 2009年05月04日來源：賽迪網 &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;5月4日消息，沃倫·巴菲特喜歡報紙。他每天要閱讀五份報紙。但是，這位億萬富翁投資者對自己的Berkshire Hathaway公司的股東發出警告稱，報紙行業也許永遠也不會復蘇，因為它缺少一個可持續發展的商業模式。Berkshire公司擁有《布法羅新聞報》（Buffalo News）並且持有《華盛頓郵報》大量的股份。巴菲特在5月3日舉行的Berkshire年會上說，隨著讀者人數的下降，報紙對廣告商和出版報紙的公司的投資者的吸引力也將隨著下降。巴菲特說，對于大多數美國的報紙，我們不會以任何價格收購這些報紙。這些報紙的虧損幾乎沒有盡頭。我看不到這種虧損有任何即將結束的跡象。     &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;由于技術和閱讀習慣的變化減少了報紙的發行量以及更多的讀者在網絡上獲取新聞，許多美國報紙的廣告收入都損失了20%以上。一些美國大城市的報紙最近幾個月倒閉了。《紐約時報》旗下的《波士頓環球報》的前途仍然不明朗。巴菲特說，20或30年前，報紙是有非常重要的定價實力的產品。報紙現在已經失去了這個重要的性質。巴菲特表示，Berkshire公司會堅持持有《布法羅新聞報》，如果Berkshire購買企業僅僅是為了長期投資並不會因為這些公司遇到困難就出售它們。巴菲特不排除擠出額外的資金的可能性，包括可能的裁減員工或者在這個報紙虧損太多的時候最終關閉這個報紙。&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20090509: 能不滅亡就很好了, 談甚麼復甦. 看看馬車現在剩下多少市場. 眼球戰爭從報紙, 電視, 入口網站, 以至於搜尋引擎.

type='text'>2009 Week 16</title><content type='html'>&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;華爾街日記：富國銀行給華爾街帶來驚喜2009年04月10日新華網新華網紐約4月9日電記者陳剛&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;美國第二大住房貸款銀行——富國銀行9日披露的初步財務季報遠遠好於市場預期，這讓投資者的樂觀情緒重新抬頭，銀行股出現暴漲，紐約股市也實現了連續五周上漲。根據富國披露的初步財務報告，公司在截至今年3月31日的財季中淨利潤達到30億美元，與去年同期相比增加50%。攤薄計算，富國每股盈利達到55美分，遠遠超過市場平均估計的20多美分。業績出人意料的主要原因是富國收購的美聯銀行經營業績超過預期。去年12月，富國宣佈將以總價125億美元收購美聯銀行，打亂了花旗集團收購美聯的計畫。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;由於美聯銀行深陷住房抵押貸款市場，富國在完成收購之後出現了2000年以來首個季度虧損，去年第四季度虧損總額高達27.3億美元。今年頭幾個月，富國股價一度縮水超過60%。然而，也正是對美聯的收購給富國帶來新的利潤增長點。&lt;strong&gt;正如富國最大股東、“股神”巴菲特一個月之前預計的那樣，富國從信貸危機導致的&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;低利率中大大獲益&lt;/span&gt;。&lt;/strong&gt;今年以來，美國長期住房抵押貸款利率跌到5%的歷史低點，這為貸款銀行創造了業績復蘇的機會。過去一個季度裏，收購美聯後的富國完成住房抵押貸款總額達到1000億美元，其正在進行中的貸款業務也高達1000億美元。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;20090411: 除了好整以暇接收別人的市場, 還有整體低利率環境的重大優勢. 後者巴菲特應該在CNBC的即時提問的節目中談過, 但我們因沒睡飽沒有把所有的記錄看完. 如果不是股利政策發言前後不一, 無法肆無忌憚的加碼.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Fortune Puts Warren Buffett In "Car of the Future" Driver's Seat Published: Monday, 13&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Warren Buffett is in the driver's seat when it comes to the "car of the future," says Fortune. The magazine has put Buffett on its cover ("Buffett's Electric Car") along with the BYD E6, for a major story on Berkshire Hathaway's investment last fall in the Chinese company that is working to challenge the world's biggest automakers in the electric car arena. The cover asks, "If the Oracle's plugging in, shouldn't you?" In the article by Marc Gunther, we learn that the idea of investing $230 million for 10 percent of the "obscure Chinese battery, mobile phone, and electric car company" first came from Buffett's partner Charlie Munger.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Munger had met BYD's driving force, Wang Chuan-Fu, through a mutual friend, and was uncharacteristically enthusiastic. Munger describes Wang to Fortune: "&lt;strong&gt;This guy is a combination of &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;Thomas Edison&lt;/span&gt; and (former General Electric Chairman) &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;Jack Welch&lt;/span&gt; - something like Edison in solving technical problems, and something like Welch in getting done what he needs to do. I have never seen anything like it.&lt;/strong&gt;" That enthusiasm from Munger helped Buffett to overcome his well-known reluctance to invest in technology, because he only likes to put money into things he can easily understand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fortune quotes Buffett as admitting, "&lt;strong&gt;I don't know a thing about cellphone or batteries. And I don't&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt; know how&lt;/span&gt; cars work."&lt;/strong&gt; But, "Charlie Munger and (&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;MidAmerican Energy Chairman&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;) &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Dave Sokol&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; are smart guys, and they &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;do understand&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; it. And there's no question that what's been accomplished since 1995 at BYD is extraordinary."Plus Wang turned down Berkshire's initial offer to buy 25 percent of BYD. Says Buffett, "This was a man who didn't want to sell his company. That was a good sign." After an extensive profile of Wang's tireless efforts on behalf of his company, Fortune concludes, "Buffett may not understand batteries or cars, or Mandarin for that matter. Drive, however, is something that needs no translation."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;20090414: 中美能源的電廠生意.

Co.，貸款也一筆筆流出，讓 Wells Fargo得以締造佳績。借貸成本幾乎為零，加上抵押貸款事業回彈，讓其他銀行也同樣受惠。如果有更多銀行回報這些優惠條件已抵銷貸款的虧損，那麼銀行業界長期股價低迷的痛苦，應該會減輕不少。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wells Fargo 亮眼的成績如經濟回春指標，周四股市全面上漲，不只是金融類股，包括科技股、營造股和運輸業股都呈現漲幅。這是因為銀行一旦穩定下來，就有能力讓企業融資且提供給人民貸款消費。但很重要的一點是，&lt;strong&gt;雖然 Wells Fargo也處於金融風暴的核心，但是因為該銀行投資&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;不輕易冒險&lt;/span&gt;，也不曾&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;放寬貸款標準&lt;/span&gt;，所以虧損情形比其他同業來得輕微。&lt;/strong&gt;Citigroup Inc (C-US；花旗) 和Morgan Stanle (MS-US; 摩根士丹利) 本月稍晚將公佈第1季財報，大部分的分析家皆預測上述兩家銀行將呈虧損狀態。Rochdale Securities的銀行分析師 Richard Bove表示：「不是每家銀行都能像Wells Fargo的表現那樣好。貸款虧損仍會增加，這是必然結果。」Wells Fargo自家的財務長Howard Atkins甚至也呼籲外界，雖然銀行確實因為政府諸多努力，獲利的輪廓漸漸浮現，但仍別對於這次的財報太過興奮。他表示：「&lt;strong&gt;現在說經濟已經好轉還太早了。我現在能說的就是，的確&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;湧現許多商機&lt;/span&gt;。&lt;/strong&gt;」&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20090411: 那些已經倒掉的銀行的生意啊. 不放寬貸款標準, 在承平時期很可能會比別人少做許多生意…這背後的商業原理, 跟巴菲特講了多年的保險業原則有非常多相通之處.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;剖析Wells Fargo獲利的秘密，列舉如下：&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;第一，借貸成本超低&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;30年期抵押貸款的利率4.8%已經不錯？那要是改成0.2%呢？這就是目前銀行透過 Fed彼此拆帳的利率，成本夠低吧！一年前銀行借100美元，利息可能要花上4至5美元，現在不到1元就可以辦到了，比消費者貸款成本還低許多。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;第二，抵押貸款申請增多&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;第1季貸款申請按月增加64%，因此Wells Fargo擴增1000億美元的抵押貸款金額，大部分的貸款申請於 3月時湧進，推測第 2季貸款申請仍會增加。雖然再融資業務可以帶來一些手續費的收入，但是透過新放款給客戶，Wells Fargo獲利較多，因為這代表可有新的利息收入。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;第三，銀行坐擁大筆資金&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;去年秋季，Wells Fargo上百家銀行中，頭一波獲得聯邦資金以刺激放款的銀行。美國財政部注資達 250億美元。另外，&lt;strong&gt;體系健康的銀行更容易吸引客戶存款，因為客戶&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;擔憂銀行倒閉&lt;/span&gt;，而將存款提領出來，或投資者不願冒高風險，而從股票等證券市場撤資，這些金錢通通會&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;轉向體系健康&lt;/span&gt;的銀行，以避免虧損。&lt;/strong&gt;Wells Fargo雖然沒有提供第 1季存款成長的詳細數據，但表示消費者和小型企業的支票帳戶確實有所增長。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20090411: 買到好銀行會有甚麼好康的, 我們又實際感受到了不少.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;第四，貸款虧損較低 (某些分析師持懷疑態度)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Wells Fargo表示，去年第4季收購Wachovia後，註銷無法回收的貸款61億美元，但是第 1季僅註銷33億美元的貸款，減少大半。然而，投資銀行Friedman Billings Ramsey的銀行分析師Paul Mille推測，Wells Fargo第1季僅註銷的貸款應達49億美元。知名銀行分析師 Mike Mayo周一時預測，到明年年底，美國各家銀行恐會看見違約貸款率高漲至經濟大蕭條以來最高點，在未來3年內，貸款總虧損可能高達1兆美元。&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3345907756059445902-7285061857700895162?l=aaphoneman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aaphoneman.blogspot.com/feeds/7285061857700895162/comments/default' title='張貼意見'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3345907756059445902&amp;postID=7285061857700895162' title='0 個意見'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3345907756059445902/posts/default/7285061857700895162'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3345907756059445902/posts/default/7285061857700895162'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aaphoneman.blogspot.com/2009/04/2009-week-15.html' title='2009 Week 15'/><author><name>阿尼</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16386106581617903762</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345907756059445902.post-3703317909096315089</id><published>2009-03-29T21:46:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2009-04-02T22:43:09.279+08:00</updated><title type='text'>2009 Week 14</title><content type='html'>&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;20090329: 根本沒有甚麼新興市場教父. 這個市場績效烏鴉鴉, 沒有人長期打敗指數.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Byron Trott to Leave Goldman Sachs. Warren Buffett Signs On.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many senior bankers have left big Wall Street firms this year. Yet, among the big names rushing hither and yon, here is name that sticks out: Goldman Sachs Group’s Chicago banker Byron Trott–Warren Buffett’s most beloved banker and onetime heir apparent to Hank Paulson–is leaving to start his own firm. Trott is the latest veteran investment banker to leave such big firms as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Bank of America Merrill Lynch, among others. But while most have been scarfed up by rivals or have gone the boutique route, Trott will start a merchant-banking firm that will include a $2 billion fund to invest in family-controlled and entrepreneurial companies and advise them, according to our deals czar, Dennis K. Berman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s hardly a blow to Buffett, who will maintain both his relationships with Trott and with Goldman Sachs. Buffett told WSJ colleague Scott Patterson that “a few months ago, he said, he met with an individual at the bank who will ‘take care of me’ after Mr. Trott departs.” Buffett, who invested $5 billion into Sachs at Trott’s suggestion, will invest money in Trott’s new venture as well. “We’ll have a modest partnership interest,” Mr. Buffett said in an interview with Patterson, although he noted, “We will not be the big dog.” As to the other investors, “Most of them will be from a group of family companies that in one way or another he’s been close to,” Buffett said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Trott’s focus on family-owned companies harks back to his early days in investment banking, when he advised high-net-worth individuals in the Midwest as part of Goldman’s wealth-management group. Very often, those investors were CEOs of small companies as well, which brought Trott to the attention of Goldman’s investment bankers in Chicago–including Hank Paulson, who then headed the Chicago office and boosted Trott’s career.  To many on Wall Street, Trott’s departure isn’t a shock. Rumors abounded at least once a year for the past six years that Trott would strike out on his own, each time debunked, only to be resurrected the next year. The rumor that Trott would join–or even succeed–Buffett also was persistent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The last week has brought even more departures of senior bankers, a trend that started to take shape earlier this year. This week, Merrill Lynch European energy banker Jonathan Grundy joined Credit Suisse, while Morgan Stanley banker Maurice Marchesini — who advises Midwestern banks — joined UBS along with former Banc of America veteran Sean Minnihan, who advises financial technology firms.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3345907756059445902-3703317909096315089?l=aaphoneman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aaphoneman.blogspot.com/feeds/3703317909096315089/comments/default' title='張貼意見'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3345907756059445902&amp;postID=3703317909096315089' title='0 個意見'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3345907756059445902/posts/default/3703317909096315089'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3345907756059445902/posts/default/3703317909096315089'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aaphoneman.blogspot.com/2009/03/2009-week-14.html' title='2009 Week 14'/><author><name>阿尼</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16386106581617903762</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345907756059445902.post-3210843644859245268</id><published>2009-03-24T13:06:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2009-03-24T23:03:51.094+08:00</updated><title type='text'>2009 Week 13</title><content type='html'>&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;MCD, 啥麥香雞, 一片肉加一些高麗菜加漢堡麵包39元. 垃圾還可以賣這麼多錢啊. 不過看看損益表, 盈餘怎麼是那樣？美國又有一堆銀行倒閉, 沙漠之花產業, 理論上WFC可以接收不少市場. 之前精神不濟, 竟然把這點都忘了. 公司講話前後不一真的很糟.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Wells Fargo: John Stumpf's Letter to Shareholders Is a Must-Read 29 by Tom Brown March 21, 2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Management keeps it simple&lt;/strong&gt;. Wells Fargo is a huge organization, both geographically and as measured by the number of banking products it offers. Yet the company is successful largely because, despite its size, it nonetheless manages to keep things simple. If Wells doesn’t understand a product (an option ARM, say) it simply won’t offer it. Stumpf notes that the Wells Fargo vision does not require any complex mathematical models. Tell that to the guys in the financial products division of AIG!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Management is honest&lt;/strong&gt;. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663366;"&gt;Candid&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; admission of error in CEO letters is rare, yet right up front, Stumpf &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663366;"&gt;concedes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, “We made some mistakes but kept our credit discipline.” Nor does Stumpf sugarcoat his outlook for the future. “If you’re a pessimist, there’s a lot for you to like about 2009,” he writes. “It will be a rough year for our economy and our industry. Consumer loans will continue under stress, chargeoffs [uncollectible debt] probably will continue to rise.” Contrast that with what you’ll read in letters from banks that lost money in 2008 (which Wells Fargo did not.) You’d never guess they’re buried under &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;problem loans&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;! Wells Fargo is not in denial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The company wants to build value, not an empire.&lt;/strong&gt; In 2008, Wells Fargo doubled its assets with the acquisition of Wachovia. But in discussing the deal, Stumpf emphasizes that Wells didn’t do it simply to bulk up. “Size alone means nothing to us,” he writes. Then Stumpf repeats a &lt;span style="color:#663366;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;mantra&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; coined more than a decade ago by his predecessor, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Dick Kovacevich&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;: “&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000099;"&gt;You don’t get better by getting bigger, you get bigger by getting better&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;”. Somebody please tell that to AIG, Bank of America, and Citigroup！&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Management is truly focused on its teammates.&lt;/strong&gt; In most shareholder letters, CEOs feel the need to buck up the rank and file with some gratuitous comment that “our employees are our greatest asset” or “our people are our greatest competitive strength.” They don’t mean a word of it, of course. Wells Fargo does. The company has long believed it can differentiate itself with superior employee performance; the record of the last 20 years shows that it can—and has. Stumpf writes, “we call them team members (an asset in which to invest), not employees (an expense to be managed).” At Wells, that investment has paid off. According to survey data gathered by Gallup, Wells Fargo’s community banking group has 8.7 team members who say they’re engaged in their work for each team member that’s actively disengaged. This compares with 2.5 engaged-to-disengaged team members five years ago, and a national average of 1.5 to 1. I believe the deep commitment of Wells’s employees is a key factor in the company’s long-term success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Management is focused on serving costumers.&lt;/strong&gt; If you read the letter, you can’t help but be impressed with &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;Stumpf’s authentic emphasis&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; on customer service. Wells’s management is proud of the customer experience the company delivered last year. At the same time, Wells knows service levels are a long way from perfect; Stumpf is honest in saying so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Management is focused on the integration of Wachovia.&lt;/strong&gt; You might remember that when the Wells Fargo-Norwest merger happened &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;in 1998&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, management laid out an integration plan that was slated to go &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;more slowly&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; than most other bank-merger integrations of the era. Norwest-Wells management took some heat over &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;the perceived delays&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. But in the end, Wells Fargo was the only one of &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663366;"&gt;the dozen big deals&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; of the time &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;to achieve&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; its earnings objectives in the following two years. The other eleven, meanwhile, missed their initial earnings projections by an average of 13%! &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;Their haste&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; led to service glitches and revenue erosion. By contrast, Wells’s first priority was holding the franchise together and avoiding &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;merger disruption&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. Stumpf makes it clear that the company is approaching the Wachovia integration the same way it went about integrating Wells Fargo with Norwest. I expect it will have similar success.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;20090324: 說得很好聽, 十分有Buffett的風格, 實際上到底是不是這麼做？&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3345907756059445902-3210843644859245268?l=aaphoneman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aaphoneman.blogspot.com/feeds/3210843644859245268/comments/default' title='張貼意見'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3345907756059445902&amp;postID=3210843644859245268' title='0 個意見'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3345907756059445902/posts/default/3210843644859245268'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3345907756059445902/posts/default/3210843644859245268'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aaphoneman.blogspot.com/2009/03/2009-week-13.html' title='2009 Week 13'/><author><name>阿尼</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16386106581617903762</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345907756059445902.post-8578643560942425471</id><published>2009-03-15T20:36:00.004+08:00</published><updated>2009-03-20T23:26:08.938+08:00</updated><title type='text'>2009 Week 12</title><content type='html'>&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Buffett還是為WFC說了許多好話.

Implemented by The Coca-Cola Africa Foundation, RAIN will provide at least 2 million Africans with clean water and &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663366;"&gt;sanitation&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; by 2015.“Africa’s water crisis threatens the health of its population and, therefore, its prospects for economic growth,” said Muhtar Kent, President and CEO of The Coca-Cola Company. “Communities need strong, healthy people to thrive, and our business needs strong, healthy communities to grow and be sustainable. &lt;strong&gt;Helping African communities tackle their water challenges is an important priority for our Company and our bottling partners and is an area where we can make a positive and lasting impact.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to the World Health Organization, more than 300 million Africans lack access to safe drinking water, and millions of them die each year from preventable waterborne illnesses. Up to half of the region’s population at any one time suffers from diseases related to unsafe drinking water and poor sanitation. Between 2004 and 2015, the number of people living without access to safe water in sub-Saharan Africa is expected to increase by 47 million people. Africa is expected to miss the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals target for access to clean drinking water by 111 million people and the sanitation target by 289 million.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“No single organization can resolve Africa’s development challenges, but together with civic society, nongovernmental organizations and government we can make a positive difference in the lives of the people who make up our communities,” said William Asiko, President of The Coca-Cola Africa Foundation. The Coca-Cola Africa Foundation currently has water projects in 19 African countries – Angola, Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, Cote d’ Ivoire, Kenya, Mali, Malawi, Morocco, Mozambique, Niger, Nigeria, Rwanda, Senegal, South Africa, Tanzania, Tunisia, Uganda and Zambia – reaching over 300,000 people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These water projects are all implemented in partnership with local communities in each country. They also contribute to The Coca-Cola Company’s &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663366;"&gt;aspirational&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; water &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663366;"&gt;stewardship&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; goal of returning to communities and to nature an amount of water equivalent to what we use in all of our beverages and their production. The Company’s strategy for achieving that goal has three components:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reduce - Improving water efficiency by 20 percent by 2012, compared to a baseline year 2004.&lt;br /&gt;Recycle - Returning all water the Company uses for manufacturing processes to the environment at a level that supports aquatic life and agriculture by the end of 2010.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663366;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Replenish&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; - Expanding the Company’s support of healthy watersheds and sustainable community water programs to balance the water used in its finished beverages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Having access to clean water still remains a luxury, not a given, in large parts of the continent,” Asiko said. “RAIN helps us both fulfill our environmental goals while also providing health benefits that will allow our communities and our business to grow and prosper.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;20090316: KO的經營要務之一就是要使公司的形象更受歡迎 [The Snowball], 由其上任後的種種動作看來, Kent是走在對的大方向上.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;John Neff on Investing初看時覺得沒有甚麼實質內容. 不過最近拿來重讀, 發現還是有不少觀點值得思考. 大概是Neff的敘述風格不像Lynch那麼生動. 各個投資名人的心法, 有很多部份是相通的.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3345907756059445902-8578643560942425471?l=aaphoneman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aaphoneman.blogspot.com/feeds/8578643560942425471/comments/default' title='張貼意見'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3345907756059445902&amp;postID=8578643560942425471' title='0 個意見'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3345907756059445902/posts/default/8578643560942425471'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3345907756059445902/posts/default/8578643560942425471'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aaphoneman.blogspot.com/2009/03/2009-week-12.html' title='2009 Week 12'/><author><name>阿尼</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16386106581617903762</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345907756059445902.post-3175529034792464955</id><published>2009-03-09T12:52:00.007+08:00</published><updated>2009-03-13T12:34:08.133+08:00</updated><title type='text'>2009 Week 11</title><content type='html'>&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;UPDATE 1-McDonald's ends Pepsi test in win for Coke Fri Feb 27, 2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;McDonald's Corp (MCD.N) said on Friday it ended test sales of PepsiCo Inc (PEP.N) bottled beverages in its eateries in a win for the hamburger chain's fountain-drink supplier Coca-Cola Co (KO.N). The world's biggest fast-food restaurant operator is working to increase drink sales and for two years has been testing a variety of different beverages in select U.S. outlets. As part of that test, McDonald's sold PepsiCo's Mountain Dew, Gatorade and Lipton bottled tea drinks in three markets. "It was a great experience that came to an amicable end last summer. As it turned out in testing, the opportunity was not as large as we'd anticipated," PepsiCo spokesman Larry Jabbonsky said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;McDonald's spokeswoman Danya Proud said the company would continue testing drink products. "We continue to work with other national and regional beverage companies -- including Coca-Cola -- to identify a variety of fountain and bottled beverage options that will meet our customers' preferences for taste, value and convenience," Proud said. Coca-Cola spokesman Ray Crockett said in a statement that the company was pleased. McDonald's is Coca-Cola's largest customer, he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;20090309: 一種好味配方是世界上最值錢的東西.

The most recent dividend will be paid April first to shareholders as of March 15. Coca Cola has raised dividends thirty seven consecutive years. This shows the strength of the brand and company as many recent companies have cut or eliminated their dividend payments to focus on restructuring and raising additional capital. In related Coca Cola news, Pepsi announced a deal to distribute Rockstar energy drinks. This brand was previously distributed by Coca Cola. The details are sketchy and just announced at this point. I believe this is Coke's decision to let one brand go (Rockstar which most recently lost market share) and bring in one (Monster which is gaining market share).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The company recently announced a deal to distribute Hansen Natural's (HANS) Monster energy drink. The drink is number two in the world behind Red Bull (privately held). Monster is not even available in some European markets and will be distributed by Coca Cola in those new countries. Letting Rockstar go, as I'm assuming is what happened with the new Pepsi deal, furthers my belief that Coca Cola will buy Hansen Natural within the next three years. The exclusive agreement was signed as a long term deal but I think really is just a preview to see what Coke will be buying.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;這些XX連自己的行業下一季能賺多少錢都預估不出, 居然整天這個報告那個報告對別的行業說三道四. 實際上我們喜歡他們, 他們存在可使股市會有很大的beta值. 本地媒體的水準: 連據實報導外電新聞都做不到. &lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;MMM所賣的那些消費者產品真是絕妙啊. 因為流感在便利商店隨便買了口罩, 約台幣30元, 非常的難戴, 後來發現3M賣的口罩, 貴了三倍, 我們心底的聲音是願意花這個錢. 那些小玩意的經濟力量, 比所謂epc或甚麼山寨手機晶片還要大上幾百倍. 可恨的莫名其妙多慘化風潮, 就這樣毀了一家還可以更加偉大的企業.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3345907756059445902-4638519111282995136?l=aaphoneman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aaphoneman.blogspot.com/feeds/4638519111282995136/comments/default' title='張貼意見'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3345907756059445902&amp;postID=4638519111282995136' title='0 個意見'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3345907756059445902/posts/default/4638519111282995136'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3345907756059445902/posts/default/4638519111282995136'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aaphoneman.blogspot.com/2009/03/2009-week-9.html' title='2009 Week 9'/><author><name>阿尼</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16386106581617903762</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345907756059445902.post-2843855469491478557</id><published>2009-03-07T16:41:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2009-03-07T16:50:02.113+08:00</updated><title type='text'>2009 Week 8</title><content type='html'>&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;美股抄底的關鍵時刻, 又參加喪事又中流感. 那有清醒的精神做決策啊.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Warren Buffett Goes Shopping at Tiffany's Friday, 13&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Warren Buffett has been doing some shopping at Tiffany's just before Valentine's Day, but he's not taking anything home in a baby-blue shopping bag. In a filing with the SEC today, Tiffany says it has sold $250 million of debt to some Berkshire Hathaway subsidiaries. The jewelry retailer will use the money to "refinance existing indebtedness and for general corporate purposes." As has been the case repeatedly in recent months, Buffett will get a good return for his money: 10 percent a year. Half the loan is due to be paid back eight years from now. The other half is due ten years from now. Berkshire will get lump sum repayments when those notes reach maturity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tiffany may actually be getting off easy with a 10 percent payout. Buffett got 12 percent for his Swiss Re investment last week, and 15 percent from Harley-Davidson a few days before that. His multi-billion dollar investments in General Electric and Goldman Sachs both pay 10 percent a year. On Forbes.com today, Atalanta/Sosnoff Capital founder Martin Sosnoff writes glowingly about Buffett's Deadman's Hand: "Although Buffett is on record that the stock market is in a fundamental buying range, over the past several months tens of billions got earmarked for defensive, fixed-income investments with equity kickers. In short, Berkshire Hathaway's portfolio seems headed closer to a balanced construct rather than pure equities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Investors can learn a lot from this gambit. Obviously, we odd lotters can't negotiate privately issued convertible preferreds with 12% yields. But we can buy A-rated preferreds like those from JPMorgan Chase and Viacom yielding 9%." We'll find out soon if Berkshire was also buying stocks as prices fell last fall. The company's end-of-fourth-quarter stock portfolio snapshot will be released late Tuesday, February 17.  Buffett went on record last October with the proud announcment he'd been buying U.S. stocks for his personal account, in anticipation of a long-term recovery. The question is whether he was also willing to put Berkshire's investors into the shaky market as well.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;財富雜誌：俄Yandex進軍美國市場挑戰穀歌http://www.sina.com.cn 2009年02月11日&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;導讀：《財富》雜誌今天載文稱，Yandex是俄羅斯最大的搜索引擎，在穀歌拓展俄羅斯市場的同時，該公司除了要鞏固在本土的優勢外，還將觸角伸向了美國市場，挑戰穀歌。在主導俄羅斯搜索市場後，Yandex將目光瞄向了美國，在距離穀歌總部不遠的地方建立了Yandex Labs。Yandex CEO阿卡迪·沃羅茲(Arkady Volozh)表示，該實驗室將雇傭約20名工程師，為俄羅斯用戶索引網頁，並跟蹤矽谷湧現的新技術。沃羅茲肯定會與穀歌爭奪技術人才，但部分業界人士懷疑Yandex有更大的“野心”，其中包括蠶食穀歌市場份額。一種可能是，Yandex想在日益增長的圖像搜索市場上分一杯羹。沃羅茲否認Yandex會挑戰穀歌。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;事實上，Yandex創立於上世紀80年代末——遠早于穀歌，聲稱自己的搜索技術更為先進。Yandex的搜索演算法植根於“複雜多變”的俄語。美國麻省理工學院語言學教授大衛·佩塞茲基 (David Pesetsky) 表示，“一個俄語單詞可能有逾20種變化，表示辭彙間的不同關係，大大提高了搜索的難度。”穀歌的技術只能搜索與關鍵字完全相同的內容，而對“不完全相同但極其相似的”的內容“視而不見”；Yandex卻能夠搜索所有內容相近的內容。Yandex佔領了56%的俄羅斯搜索市場——穀歌市場份額只有23%，按搜索廣告營收計算的市場份額更是高達三分之二，每個月完成逾30億次搜索。上個月，Yandex取代谷歌成為了俄語版火狐流覽器的缺省搜索引擎，這將有助於其市場份額進一步提高。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yandex不斷在創新。儘管其部分服務與美國市場上的服務相似，Yandex還開發了一些只有俄羅斯人才能享受到的應用，例如能夠去除重複圖像的圖像搜索引擎、即時的交通情況報告服務。Yandex董事、風險投資家埃斯勒·戴森 (Esther Dyson) 說，“我最欣賞沃羅茲永不滿足的性格。”金融危機使Yandex未能如期上市。沃羅茲表示，Yandex現金流量為正，眼下無需募集更多資金。Yandex的增長速度非常快，自2000年以來，營收每年翻一番，去年達到了3億美元。據沃羅茲稱，Yandex已經多次拒絕了雅虎、微軟和穀歌的收購要約。分析師對Yandex的估值為約60億美元。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;儘管Yandex可能對為美國用戶提供服務沒有興趣，但穀歌急於提高在俄羅斯的市場份額。2001年谷歌首次進軍俄羅斯市場，結果卻鎩羽而歸——主要原因是沒有考慮到俄語語法的複雜性，市場份額一直徘徊在6%左右。2006年，穀歌聘請了數十名俄羅斯工程師幫助解決了語言問題，獲得了“立竿見影”的效果。谷歌俄羅斯公共關係部門主管阿拉·紮布羅夫斯卡亞 (Alla Zabrovskaya) 表示，鑒於其巨大的增長潛力，“俄羅斯是穀歌的一個重要市場。”沃羅茲認為，Yandex真正的優勢在於其是一家俄羅斯本土廠商。這既有助於Yandex保持市場份額，但也使該公司無形中面臨巨大壓力。如果Yandex失敗了，俄羅斯人將會非常“失望”，因為儘管教育水準很高，但俄羅斯卻鮮有成功的科技公司。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;l          2009年02月16日MarketWatch評出年度共同基金經理&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;股神巴菲特 (Warren Buffett) 在價值型股票投資方面被不少關注價格型投資者奉若神明，而基金經理戴什爾 (John Deysher) 在價值型基金領域也取得了顯赫業績。戴什爾是Pinnacle Value Fund的基金經理，他與巴菲特一樣關注價型股票，不過他側重於小型股和微型股中估值便宜且業務穩健的股票，這正是逢低買進者青睞的特質。沒人會對兩者之間的聯系視而不見，Pinnacle Value的網站上可以鏈接到伯克希爾哈撒韋公司 (Berkshire Hathaway Inc.) 的網站主頁以及巴菲特隨和而誠懇的致股東信。在戴什爾廣泛而多層次的投資策略中，巴菲特只是他的靈感來源之一。他大量依賴於秘密研究，這使得他成為一名具備逆向思維又富有耐心的股東。戴什爾的獨到手段使得Pinnacle股東逃過了去年股市暴跌帶來的巨大損失，實現了過去五年名列前茅的業績表現。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;這種靈活性和開放性是挑戰眼下投資環境的關鍵所在，這種形勢下，基金經理必須在應對不熟悉的新趨勢的同時堅守他們的原則。正是憑藉這些和其他因素，戴什爾得以榮獲MarketWatch評選的2008年度共同基金經理。自2003年4月創立以來，Pinnacle Value多數時間在價值型小型股基金領域一直穩居前列，戴什爾專注細節的慧眼無疑居功至偉。在價值型小型股基金平均下滑32%的2008年，Pinnacle Value更顯得鶴立雞群。Pinnacle去年也遭遇了沖擊，但僅下跌了16.9%，包括戴什爾本人在內的基金股東得以比他們在其他同類基金可能發生的損失少了一半。當然，你去年可能通過賣空或熊市基金大發橫財。但MarketWatch的基金經理評選永遠不會關注短期業績。因為這些類型的基金不適合普通投資者，它們也沒有進入MarketWatch評選基金經理優勝者的名單。要在MarketWatch的評選中脫穎而出，基金經理必須擁有跑贏大市的長期業績，同時密切關注風險、費用和稅項。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;戴什爾並不能置身於大勢之外。投資研究機構晨星公司 (Morningstar Inc.) 的基金研究主管基尼爾(Russel Kinnel) 說，對多數價值型小型股基金來說，去年實在是走勢艱難，變幻莫測。但根據晨星公司的數據，Pinnacle Value的業績在同行排在前1%，過去三年和五年的成績單也同樣不俗。該基金過去三年2.8%的年均收益令同類基金9.6%的年均損失相形見絀，其過去五年7.1%的年均回報率也遠遠超過價值型小型股基金平均1%的跌幅。換句話說，在2003年底向Pinnacle Value投資1萬美元，五年後就會變成超過1.4萬美元。而一般的價值型小型股基金只能給你剩下大約9,500美元。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;而且，戴什爾是以一個有所選擇的投資組合帶來上述回報的，他的投資組合反映的風險還不到市場的一半。擁有5,600萬美元資產的Pinnacle Value持有55只股票，但去年大約一半的資產都是現金，這肯定有助於其緩和沖擊。然而，戴什爾並不是一個掌握進場時機的專家。他只是找不到很多符合他嚴格標準的股票。不過，現在戴什爾正在動用現金。戴什爾說，那些完成功課、不斷進步的人經過一、兩年時間會有所收獲。你永遠沒法洞悉一切，但如果你做好功課、以合理價格買進，你就能讓天平向你這邊傾斜。MarketWatch在搜尋年度基金經理的過程中，一直關注關鍵投資和股東問題。在對大約5,200家美國、全球和國際股票基金的評比中，戴什爾在業績、費用和稅務效率等方面脫穎而出。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在這個范圍內，只有17名基金經理在上述方面符合標準。戴什爾在長期業績實力、持續風險管理和對股東的明顯關注（表現在低於同類基金的費用和高於平均水平的稅務效率）方面表現突出。此外，戴什爾在股東的信中表現出的透明度也受到歡迎，他不僅強調Pinnacle Value的得意投資，也不回避虧本買賣──例如對WHX Corp.的投資；談到這筆失敗投資，戴什爾對自己選擇了錯誤的時機表示後悔。今年，戴什爾試圖坦誠面對市場能帶來的回報。他將堅守自己在主要服務特定民族客戶的小銀行類股中發現的市場機遇，例如主要服務唐人街的洛杉磯保富銀行 (Preferred Bank)。戴什爾還追求一種獨特的策略，會挑選擁有可觀現金以及淨營業虧損抵免的殼公司。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20090217: 來拉衣角喔.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;l          Coke aims to prove deal is the real thing By Sundeep Tucker in Hong Kong February 15 2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are heady days for Coca-Cola in China, its fourth-largest market. The US company last week posted solid fourth-quarter results helped by a 29 per cent rise in case volumes in China, making it the fastest-growing market for the company. Muhtar Kent, Coke chief executive, says that its flagship product has become an “affordable staple” for Chinese consumers. Coke keeps its fizz in face of downturn - Feb-12Lex: Coke heads for growth - Feb-12Lion Nathan ends Coca-Cola Amatil bid - Feb-09Coke sued over enhanced water drinks - Jan-15Lion Nathan bids for Coca-Cola Amatil - Nov-17Coke bottler sees 10% sales fall - Oct-24However, convincing China’s policymakers to swallow its proposed takeover of the country’s leading juice maker is proving a harder task.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is nearly six months since Coke announced a planned $2.4bn acquisition of Huiyuan Juice Group, a Hong Kong-listed company that boasts a 42 per cent share of the domestic market in 100 per cent juices. The proposed takeover, which awaits regulatory approval, is the highest profile agreement to face scrutiny under China’s revamped anti-monopoly regime, which was given extra teeth last August. What Beijing decides, and how it goes about deciding, is of intense interest to those assessing China’s willingness to accept foreign takeovers of leading domestic brands. The commerce ministry, which oversees anti-monopoly laws, has not commented on the merger filing except for a recent oral acknowledgment that the deal had entered second-stage assessment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This lack of clarity is starting to unnerve some connected with the deal, one of whom describes the process to date as “like sending a ball into a dark tunnel”. People familiar with the filing say that the full spectrum of outcomes remained possible, from outright rejection to acceptance. “Mofcom could also approve the deal but attach conditions,” says one observer. Last November, Mofcom waved through InBev’s $52bn acquisition of rival brewer Anheuser-Busch – both have operations in China – but imposed several restrictions on the combine acquiring more interests in four domestic beer companies. That ruling, the first published under the changed monopoly regime, triggered fears that authorities could use the laws to shield domestic industry from foreign competition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People familiar with the filing say Coke has spent the past few months answering questions from ministry officials.“Mofcom has been using Coke as a guinea pig to find out how other jurisdictions handle comparable antitrust filings,” says one person. “This is a learning process for them.” Some dealmakers believe Mofcom’s deliberations on the deal could anyway have been delayed by inter-agency rivalry in Beijing, or a lack of technical bureaucrats qualified to administer the new laws. Authorities also have to be mindful of nationalist sentiment, as manifested on websites, which vehemently objects to a loss of a “cultural pillar”. Some theorists believe Mofcom is waiting for the mood music between Beijing and Washington to improve before clearing the deal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whatever the reason, the tension is beginning to mount. The deal has a “longstop” date of 23 March, after which Coke has the right to renegotiate the terms. That prospect will concern the selling consortium, which comprises Zhu Xinli, Huiyuan’s founder chairman, who owns 36 per cent of the company, France’s Danone (23 per cent) and Warburg Pincus, the US private equity firm, (6.8 per cent). Coke’s offer is HK$12.20 a share in cash, almost treble that of Huiyuan’s last closing share price before the deal was announced and a price-earnings ratio of 50. The deal was struck in early September, two weeks before global markets and growth forecasts tumbled following the collapse of Lehman Brothers. Market watchers believe that fears about the approvals process may account for the sudden fall in Huiyuan’s share price last week.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The share price, which has held steady at between HK$10 and HK$11 since the deal was announced, last Wednesday closed at HK$8.46 before finishing the week just above HK$9.“The share price is now about 25 per cent below Coke’s cash offer and that could be sign that merger arbitrageurs are starting to doubt the deal will go through,” says one market observer. However, an outright rejection would represent a big surprise, not least because Coke has built up credibility and respect among Beijing policymakers in recent years. The company was among the first to re-enter China when the country opened up in the late 1970s, was a high-profile sponsor of the Beijing Olympics and is sponsoring next year’s Shanghai Expo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;l          景氣循環股的思考要件: 1. 不太資本支出 2. 全球擴張.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;l          Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Cuts Johnson &amp;amp; Johnson Stake By Half 20090218&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has just released its fourth quarter stock portfolio snapshot. Instead of asking what Buffett has been buying, we should have been wondering what Buffett has been selling. Most notably, Berkshire slashed its holdings in Johnson and Johnson to just 28.6 million shares as of December 31.  That's a drop of almost 54 percent. It had reported holding 61.8 million shares as of the end of the third quarter on September 30. That brings Berkshire's stake in J&amp;amp;J down to just under 4 percent from almost 8 percent. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Johnson and Johnson's shares price fell almost 18 percent during the fourth quarter. We don't know whether Buffett avoided any or all of that drop since the filing doesn't say when the shares were sold. We do know that the stock is down another 6.4 percent year-to-date, a drop that Berkshire has avoided on the 33.2 million shares sold. Based on their December 31 close, those 33 million shares were worth about $2 billion. Berkshire also made a sizable cut in its holdings of another healthcare company, Procter &amp;amp; Gamble. That stake fell 9 percent to 96.3 million shares from 105.8 million.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20090218: 奇怪, P &amp;amp; G不是永久持股.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Berkshire's smaller cuts in Q4:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ConocoPhillips [COP 42.94 -2.73 (-5.98%) ] fell 4.8 percent to 79.9 million shares&lt;br /&gt;CarMax [KMX 8.81 -0.07 (-0.79%) ] dropped 4.4 percent to 17.6 million shares&lt;br /&gt;US Bancorp [USB 10.73 -1.67 (-13.47%) ] reduced by 7.4 percent to 67.6 million shares&lt;br /&gt;Buffett wasn't just selling in the fourth quarter. Berkshire increased these holdings:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NRG Energy [IR 16.30 -1.09 (-6.27%) ] soared 44 percent to 7.2 million shares&lt;br /&gt;Ingersoll-Rand [IR 16.30 -1.09 (-6.27%) ] increased by 38.1 percent to 7.8 million shares&lt;br /&gt;Eaton [ETN 42.04 -1.76 (-4.02%) ] jumped by 10 percent to 3.2 million shares&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And there's one new stake: about 8.7 million shares of Nalco Holding. [NLC 11.06 -0.66 (-5.63%)]&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On its web site, the company describes itself as "the leading integrated water treatment and process improvement company in the world." At today's closing price of $11.06, the Nalco stake is worth just $96 million. (The stock is getting a 6 percent boost in after-hours trading.) And Buffett is holding tight on his big financial holdings, including stakes in American Express [AXP 13.96 -1.78 (-11.31%)] and Wells Fargo [WFC 13.69 -2.07 (-13.13%)].&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Overall, the dollar value of Berkshire's disclosed stock portfolio fell 25.8 percent to just under $52 billion as of December 31, down from almost $70 billion on September 30. Our Berkshire Hathaway Portfolio Tracker shows the portfolio holdings as of December 31 are worth $41.4 billion, using today's closing prices. So what happened to Buffett's high-profile call last October to buy U.S. stocks？He said then he was buying domestic equities for his personal account. Apparently he felt Berkshire's money could be put to better use elsewhere. One alternative we know about are Berkshire high-interest rate loans to well-known companies facing tough times, such as Tiffany, Swiss Re, Harley-Davidson, Goldman Sachs, and General Electric.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bloomberg quotes Buffett-style investor Mohnish Pabrai as saying before the portfolio filing, "Buffett has shown a preference over the past couple years toward buying whole companies, the debt markets or other private deals." That's certainly evident in today's filing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;l          Coca-Cola Spins the Bottle(rs) February 17, 2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We will continue to invest with our bottling partners. Our bottling partners’ appetite for investment remains very strong around the world. We have got a very good program in place in terms of the new integrated supply chain initiative that will consolidate the common supply chain initiatives. It will optimize product flow and create over $150.0 million of annual incremental operating income by 2011 for CC and the Coca-Cola Company. I think all our other bottling partners are going to benefit from that. It is a very serious initiative.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Q: CapEx has risen and you talked about investing in companies and company-owned bottlers. It’s a little bit of a change from how we have historically thought of CapEx at the Coca-Cola Company. So how long do you see this higher capex trend continuing and as you begin to divest more bottlers does it have less of an incremental impact year-over-year?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A: Capex last year and in 2009, $1.8 billion to $2.0 billion for 2009, about half of it or so is actually related to the bottling investments group or the bottlers that we own. My expectation... is over time we will be net sellers and as we actually sell bottlers, the CapEx will come down fairly significantly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Globally:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The CapEx is really being driven right now because as we continue to invest in China and the Philippines and Germany and those bottlers, and really invest in India, investing in cold drink equipment, those kinds of things, to drive volume, value… But CapEx will start coming down significantly over the next five years, if you will, as we are disposing of some of those bottlers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After the investment that we had in Coca-Cola Bottlers Tokyo, we are continuing to work to create the next cluster in Japan, around [Kyoto] and if there is a need for us to inject ourselves in a small way, to ensure that we can play a role of catalyst there, we will do so. As in the fourth quarter, our revenues will continue to be impacted due to structural changes primarily related to disposal of bottlers. We would expect a similar drag during a portion of 2009 as we cycle the sale of the re-milled bottler in Brazil at the end of Q2 and the Pakistan bottler investment at the end of Q3.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;l          Coke to pilot new 120-drink fountain 20090217&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Coca-Cola Co. will soon test in restaurants in Atlanta and Orange County, Calif., a new fountain drink dispenser that can serve up to 120 different beverages. The device uses higher-concentrate ingredients to serve up to 120 beverages in the same amount of space as the current eight-valve machine. Consumers will be able to choose from a wide variety of brands -- still, sparkling, calorie and no-calorie. During a presentation at the Consumer Analyst Group New York conference in Boca Raton, Fla., on Friday, Coca-Cola President and CEO Muhtar Kent will spotlight a prototype of the new proprietary fountain system being piloted this spring. The new dispensers will be tested in 2009 before a wider introduction as early as next year, Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;l          很早之前就提過買JNJ不是啥多好的主意. 如今賣掉一半, 除非是因為有更好的標的才make sense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;l          Buy, Sell or Hold: Coke Still Has the Fizz by: Horacio Marquez February 18,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Continuing with the trend of companies that have blasted through Wall Street’s earnings estimates of late, The Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE: KO) last week announced its ninth-straight quarter of double-digit earnings per share (EPS) growth and a third straight year of meeting or exceeding its long-term-growth targets. Excluding one-time items, the Atlanta-based company’s earnings per share of 64 cents represented a 10% gain from last year’s fourth quarter, beating analysts’ expectations by three cents. In addition, Coke’s unit-case volume was up 4% in the fourth quarter and 5% for the full year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And they achieved this profit growth despite a very adverse situation. In addition, the company had to take losses from the appreciation of the U.S. dollar, which was a product of the flight-to-safety experienced in the last few months of 2008. As the U.S. dollar has stabilized from last year’s lows - and even rebounded in some of the key currencies - we do not expect to see the phenomenon repeat itself in 2009. Quite the contrary, we should see China pulling out economically and the yuan strengthen, and similar movements across key emerging economies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coca Cola’s secret for success? The emerging markets. Despite the naysayers, as I have been writing, the reality is that most of them took advantage of the unprecedented phenomenon of global synchronic growth and reduced debt and accumulated reserves. So China, which has almost no debt, has “only” some $2 trillion in foreign reserves. And a similarly benign picture occurs with India, Brazil, Chile and many other emerging economies. Very importantly, these countries have a lot more people and populations that are younger and much-faster growing than the United States, and the real per capita income in all of them has been increasing at a much faster pace, as well: Imagine 1.5 billion Chinese and 1 billion Indians incorporating Coca-Cola’s drinks into their regular diets. Will they?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For starters, Coca-Cola has been around for so long and has been so successful, that its brand is marketing nirvana - the best-known consumer brand in the world. And research tells us that there is strong correlation between income growth and the consumption of sugar across the world, which brings us to Coca-Cola’s secret sweet flavor, the envy of the soft-drink industry. We clearly saw this phenomenon in Mexico as it came into the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and incomes grew. In the case of the region of Yucatán, incomes grew strongly thanks to the spectacular growth of tourism and its development in the Cancun area. And once people adopt a habit - especially a cheap one like a soft, fizzy drink or Coca-Cola’s Vitamin Water, Dasani bottled water, PowerAde for sports or Nestea - it is hard to give up, even if things turn down.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From Beijing to Buenos Aires, to Goa, India, you will find that Coca-Cola refreshes not only your body, but your portfolio as well. Because 75% of the company’s sales come from outside the United States, this is the kind of stock that’s worth owning long-term. So, if you are worried about the housing meltdown and the prospects for the U.S. economy, this soundly-managed U.S. company already gives you global diversification in the places that matter most today - the emerging markets.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You see, a good 90% of global growth this year is going to come from emerging markets. And the reason is simple. Since these markets have accumulated that huge wealth, they are in a much better position than the advanced economies to stimulate their own economies. And that’s just what’s happening. China, Chile, Brazil and many other countries are resorting to lowering interest rates and expanding fiscal stimulus plans in order to grow. These programs have been very appropriately targeted to support much-needed infrastructure development and also to support house, cars and appliance purchases with lending and tax breaks for most. It took longer for the United States to launch its own, much-more-complex plan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In any case, Coca-Cola is not content to just go through the ongoing global financial storm; it plans to grow through it. This company, with its very long history of operating in a very long list of countries around the world, has seen recessions, financial blow-ups and currency disruptions as few have seen. It’s managed to not only survive through them, but thrive. In addition to the end of dollar strength effects, we have seen commodities drop to much more comfortable levels, and this is wind in the sails for the company, even if this respite is temporary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The stock is undervalued after having dropped from a 52-week high of $61.90 to the low $40’s, even while still experiencing profit growth (Friday’s close of $43.85 is only slightly above its 52-week low of $40.28). A Price/Earnings (P/E) ratio of 12, for a consistent grower in a market as uncertain as this one, is very low. And that’s especially true of a stock that also pays a 3.7% dividend rate, a company with a superb balance sheet and $8 billion in cash. So we are going to jump onto Coca Cola, ahead of all these global stimulus packages and ahead of the positive effects of a global liquidity growth, as central banks keep easing rates and growing their monetary bases. Recommendation: Buy The Coca-Cola Co., which has blasted through earnings estimates as its global diversification and worldwide commodity softness keeps powering profits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;l          Buffett Cuts Blue Chip Stakes; Buys Tentatively February 18, 2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As 2008 drew to a close, Buffett opened a modest new position in water treatment company Nalco Holding (NYSE: NLC - News). He also opened a position in utility Constellation Energy Group (NYSE: CEG - News) as part of a bid to buy the firm. But subsequent filings have shown that Buffett is exiting the stake after Constellation broke the agreement with Berkshire and is instead selling part of itself to Electricite de France SA. Elsewhere, Buffett has been upping his stakes in industrial goods firm Ingersoll-Rand (NYSE: IR - News), hydraulics manufacturer Eaton (NYSE: ETN - News), and power wholesaler NRG Energy (NYSE: NRG - News).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;l          2002TW又要高度資本支出, 又只能做台灣島內的生意, 比3130TW等級還要低. 既不太資本支出又能全球擴張的公司台灣應該是沒有. 退求其次, 能全球擴張的最佳景氣循環股是？&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3345907756059445902-2843855469491478557?l=aaphoneman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aaphoneman.blogspot.com/feeds/2843855469491478557/comments/default' title='張貼意見'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3345907756059445902&amp;postID=2843855469491478557' title='0 個意見'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3345907756059445902/posts/default/2843855469491478557'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3345907756059445902/posts/default/2843855469491478557'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aaphoneman.blogspot.com/2009/03/2009-week-8.html' title='2009 Week 8'/><author><name>阿尼</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16386106581617903762</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345907756059445902.post-3305402188365524732</id><published>2009-02-10T22:12:00.008+08:00</published><updated>2009-03-07T16:39:48.945+08:00</updated><title type='text'>2009 Week 7</title><content type='html'>&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Coke, Pepsi Offer Clues on Shoppers' Habits 20090209&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Earnings reports from Coca-Cola Co. and PepsiCo Inc. at the end of this week will shed light on how much consumers are cutting back on comforting indulgences like soft drinks and potato chips as the economic downturn deepens globally. While such products tend to be relatively resistant to recessions, offering an inexpensive treat for those who are forgoing costlier goods, this downturn is showing that they aren't immune. U.S. beverage sales -- from soda to bottled water -- have been hurt as consumers eat out less frequently, shorten their grocery lists and quench their thirst more often for free with tap water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both companies are looking outside North America to make up for the weaker demand at home. &lt;strong&gt;But beverage sales are &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;slowing&lt;/span&gt; even in big emerging markets such as Russia and Brazil.&lt;/strong&gt; The strengthening dollar also is cutting into profits from markets outside the U.S., damping a benefit both companies had been enjoying from favorable currency exchange rates. &lt;strong&gt;About &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;81%&lt;/span&gt; of Coke's profit came from beyond its home market in 2007, while Pepsi derived about &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;30%&lt;/span&gt; of its profit from international businesses in the same year&lt;/strong&gt;, according to a Morgan Stanley calculation. Both companies hedge to protect themselves against currency fluctuations, but analysts expect the stronger dollar to have shaved profit growth slightly in the fourth quarter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Analysts' average estimate of 7% earnings growth for Coke in the fourth quarter would be the Atlanta company's lowest since the first quarter of 2006, when it was in the midst of a turnaround, John Faucher, a J.P. Morgan analyst, said in a research note. He is expecting the beverage giant, which reports its earnings on Thursday, to post global volume growth of 2%, decelerating from 5% volume growth in the third quarter. The stronger dollar is expected to have trimmed four to five cents a share from Pepsi's fourth-quarter earnings, Mr. Faucher said. Like some other analysts, he has lowered his 2009 earnings forecast for Pepsi because of the expected currency impact.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Indie Research All Eyes on Buffett and Berkshire in the Coming Weeks Monday February 9&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As many market watchers have noted, after a history-making 2008, investors are more uncertain than ever about what 2009 holds in store. At times like these, it's no surprise that investors are looking for guidance from Pros with experience and proven track records. The gold standard in this department is Warren Buffett. While Buffett has been both active in the markets and vocal in the press in recent months, the next several weeks will tell us quite a lot about where his head is in 2009. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;Next week&lt;/span&gt; will bring the disclosure of Berkshire Hathaway's (NYSE: BRK-A - News, BRK-B - News) equity holdings as of the start of 2009.&lt;/strong&gt; Investors can be notified exactly when Berkshire's holdings become available by tracking the firm at tickerspy.com.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Soon after that, Buffett will publish his annual letter to Berkshire shareholders. It's safe to say that there has never been a Buffett shareholder letter as anticipated as this one. There's no telling if Buffett's new holdings will contain any surprises, but it is quite likely that he'll hold steady with long-standing positions in many of his favorite names like Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO - News), American Express (NYSE: AXP - News), Proctor &amp;amp; Gamble (NYSE: PG - News). Investors will also be looking to see whether he makes any moves in the still &lt;span style="color:#663366;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;tumultuous&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; financial sector where Berkshire holds large stakes in Bank of America (NYSE: BAC - News) and &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wells Fargo&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; (NYSE: WFC - News), among others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally, though Buffett has signaled his willingness to make sweetheart investments via negotiated deals with names like GE (NYSE: GE - News), Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS - News), and most recently Harley Davidson (NYSE: HOG - News), investors will want to see whether Buffett is finding stocks attractive enough to make buys on the open market. The revelation of substantial buying activity in Buffett's upcoming disclosure would likely send a bullish signal that would &lt;span style="color:#663366;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;reverberate&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; across the entire market.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;艱困時刻, 很多公司現出淪為景氣循環股的真面目.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;美股評論：巴菲特和蓋茨看好6股2009-02-09&lt;br /&gt;　　&lt;br /&gt;導語：SmartMoney 2月10日撰文稱，過去一年，沃倫-巴菲特的投資工具股價下跌33%，低于標普500指數39%的跌幅。今年最值得期待的財務報告可能是伯克希爾-哈薩韋 (BRK.A) 計劃在3月1日公布的2008年投資業績。過去一年，沃倫-巴菲特的投資工具股價下跌33%，低于標普500指數39%的跌幅。但是根據伯克希爾上一次于9月30日披露的持倉明細，投資者還不能確定股市去年第四季度的暴跌是否給其投資組合帶來大的衝擊。根據《巴倫周刊》1月份發布的最新分析報告，伯克希爾投資組合中16大權重股 (根據上一次披露結果) 去年遠遠跑贏大盤，但是2009年不及大市。年底的變化可能會影響上述數據，但伯克希爾近期的動作只有一部分為公眾所知。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;從去年10月份以來，伯克希爾不斷增持Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNI)，將其對該全國第二大鐵路公司的持股提高至22%。在這一段時間里，該股下跌了25%，略低于大盤的跌幅。&lt;strong&gt;但是Burlington第四財季的每股盈利&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;大增41%&lt;/span&gt;並高于華爾街預期，而且這還是在數據顯示上周美國鐵路貨運比去年同期下降15%的情況下發生的。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20090210: 奇怪, 這家鐵路公司到底幹了甚麼好事.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;伯克希爾近期的其他一些動作倒跟股市關系不大，要麼是向其他公司放債而不是增持股份，要麼是私下簽訂一些&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;回報豐厚的條款&lt;/span&gt;，而普通投資者是&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;不可能做到&lt;/span&gt;的。&lt;/strong&gt;去年10月份，伯克希爾同意從通用電氣 (GE)購買價值30億美元的優先股。這些優先股附帶10%的股息，而且伯克希爾有權在未來5年中隨時以22.45美元 (大致是GE當前股價的兩倍) 購買價值30億美元的GE股票。伯克希爾還同高盛 (GS) 達成了類似的交易，優先股股息也是10%，並給予伯克希爾在5年內以115美元 (比當前股價高39%) 購買價值50億美元的高盛普通股的權利。&lt;br /&gt;上周二，哈雷戴維森 (HOG) 宣布將從伯克希爾那里獲得3億美元的貸款，資金將被用于哈雷戴維森的消費者融資部門。隨後股價大漲16%。這張期限為5年的借據附帶15%的利息，這樣高的利息顯然並不能讓公司通過向消費者再次放貸而獲利，但或許能夠緩解投資者對公司信貸虧損的擔憂。哈雷戴維森第四財季盈利比去年同期下降58%。巴菲特的伙伴比爾-蓋茨是靠軟件而不是股票致富的，但是他的慈善基金去年僅在股市中虧損20%。蓋茨在1月份的信件中披露了投資損失，他說是在巴菲特的建議下寫這封信的，後者的年度信件在股東中廣為閱覽和引用。2006年，巴菲特承諾從伯克希爾捐款300億美元給蓋茨的慈善事業。&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#3333ff;"&gt;蓋茨通過他的資金管理機構&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Cascade Investment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;在&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;垃圾回收&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;和汽車銷售領域大力投資。從1月13日到26日，Cascade以4.486億美元買進了390萬股Republic Services (RSG) 股票。將Cascade和Bill &amp;amp; Melinda Gates Foundation的持股加在一起，蓋茨現在擁有這家垃圾公司25%的股權。Republic今年銷售預計下滑不到2%，盈利預計將增長13%。過去一年該股縮水17%，還不到大盤跌幅的一半。&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;汽車經銷商AutoNation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; (AN) 在兩年的時間里股價已經從22美元跌至不到10美元，其中10月份跌至4美元以下，蓋茨從11月份開始穩步買進，將股份增持至12%。AutoNation第四財季銷售較去年同期大降34%，但是公司仍在盈利，且存貨下降、債務減少。&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Coca-Cola 4Q profit down on charges, strong dollar Thursday February 12&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coca-Cola Co. said Thursday that its fourth-quarter profit fell 18 percent as it felt the effect of the stronger dollar and took &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;several write-downs&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;but the world's largest soft drink maker &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;sold more&lt;/span&gt; of its products around the world. The results -- including a 4 percent increase in worldwide case volume&lt;/strong&gt; -- beat Wall Street estimates, and Coca-Cola's shares rose 7.6 percent to end at $44.39. The seller of Sprite, Fanta, VitaminWater, Minute Maid orange juice and Nestea also plans to accelerate spending cuts and said it will save $500 million a year by 2011. "We are not content to ride out the storm," Chief Executive Muhtar Kent said on a conference call with investors. "We will leverage it as an opportunity to further build the equity of our brand and drive value for our system and customers."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Atlanta-based company earned $995 million, or 43 cents per share, in the quarter ended Dec. 31, down from $1.21 billion, or 52 cents per share, a year earlier. Revenue fell 3 percent to $7.13 billion from $7.33 billion a year ago. Many global consumer products makers struggled during the quarter as the stronger dollar shrank profits from products sold in other currencies. Coke said its operating income was dragged down 9 percent by currency comparisons. The dollar had been weakening for nearly six years when the recession and credit crunch deepened last fall. When global investors headed for the U.S., which they still saw as a safer haven, that strengthened the dollar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Companies that do significant business overseas suffer when the dollar strengthens because their overseas sales and operations in other currencies then translate into fewer dollars. Chief Financial Officer Gary Fayard said that currency comparisons would dampen operating income by 10 percent to 12 percent during the first quarter. He said offering guidance further out was not possible. Standard &amp;amp; Poor's analyst Esther Kwon reiterated a strong buy recommendation on Coke shares, but she cut S&amp;amp;P's 2009 profit estimate by 20 cents to $3.25 and its target for the stock's price by $3 to $52. "We see Coke continuing to benefit from the broad diversity of its operations and recent actions taken in troubled areas," the analyst wrote.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Excluding one-time items such as a charge related to its Coca-Cola Enterprises business, Atlanta-based Coke says it earned 64 cents a share. It also had restructuring costs and asset write-downs that hurt the reported results. Thomson Reuters said analysts expected profit of 61 cents per share on revenue of $7.52 billion. Analysts typically exclude one-time items from their estimates. The company's adjusted per-share profit excludes a 21 cent per share charge for a write-down related to Coca-Cola Enterprises, Coke's biggest bottler. The bottler took a $2.3 billion write-down in the value of its North American franchise licenses in the most recent quarter.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coca-Cola Enterprises reported Wednesday that it lost $1.45 billion, or $2.99 per share. Coke had another 6-cent-per-share charge &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;for restructuring&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; and other asset write-downs, including 1 cent for costs that included an undisclosed number of layoffs. As unit case volume grew 4 percent, the volume of Coke rose 2 percent. In the current quarter, the company launched a new "Open Happiness" &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;global marketing campaign&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, renewing its focus on soft drinks to appeal to consumers looking to spend less. For all of 2008, profit fell 3 percent to $5.81 billion, or $2.49 per share, from $5.98 billion, or $2.57 per share, in 2007. Annual revenue rose 11 percent to $31.94 billion from $28.9 billion in 2007.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;20090213: 台灣媒體真是糟糕透頂, 簡直亂報一通. 不過我們實在搞不懂為何有那麼多莫名其妙的重整費用, 即便在世人眼中的好公司都是如此.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;10 Feb 2009 Warren Buffett Keeps Selling Consolation Prize From Constellation Crack-Up&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last December, when Constellation Energy &lt;span style="color:#663366;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ditched&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; its deal to be acquired by Berkshire Hathaway's MidAmerican Energy Holdings, there was a price to be paid. If Constellation didn't go through with its September deal, it had to pay &lt;span style="color:#ff6600;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;a break-up fee&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; to MidAmerican, including 10 percent of its common stock.  (WBW post: Why Fight When You Can Take the Money And Run?) The 19,897,322 shares were &lt;span style="color:#663366;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;handed over&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; in mid-December after Constellation agreed to a merger deal with France's ECF. Since the beginning of the year, Buffett has been steadily selling them right around $27 each.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3345907756059445902-3305402188365524732?l=aaphoneman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aaphoneman.blogspot.com/feeds/3305402188365524732/comments/default' title='張貼意見'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3345907756059445902&amp;postID=3305402188365524732' title='0 個意見'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3345907756059445902/posts/default/3305402188365524732'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3345907756059445902/posts/default/3305402188365524732'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aaphoneman.blogspot.com/2009/02/2009-week-7.html' title='2009 Week 7'/><author><name>阿尼</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16386106581617903762</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345907756059445902.post-6476775390727284462</id><published>2009-02-02T12:17:00.005+08:00</published><updated>2009-02-05T14:05:31.122+08:00</updated><title type='text'>2009 Week 6</title><content type='html'>&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;The United States of Google？January 29, 2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barack Obama may be the closest thing ever in the White House. The President is making weekly Web videos, his staff uses Twitter, and the White House has started a blog for daily developments. This may be just the start. On its Web site, the White House is promising more communication, transparency, and participation. If it can deliver on those promises, the Administration could make government more Google-y at least in terms of openness and &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663366;"&gt;collaboration&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I wonder whether the Google (GOOG) worldview could bring more profound change to government. If the geeks take over the world—and they will—we could enter an era of scientific rationality in Washington. Other nonpoliticians have improved government. Michael Bloomberg runs New York City as a business. Arnold Schwarzenegger rules California with the power of personality. A Google guy might just run government as a service to solve problems.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think I saw a preview of government under geeks at the 2008 World Economic Forum in Davos, where Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin talked about their efforts to create cheap, clean energy through the company's foundation, Google.org. After hearing former Vice-President Al Gore talk about his prescriptions for energy and the ecology—carbon taxes, regulation, prohibition—I went up the mountain to get the Google view. The contrast was stark. To summarize if not oversimplify their &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#663366;"&gt;vantage&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; points: Where Gore demands taxes and regulation, the Google team proposes invention and investment. Gore &amp;amp; Co. want to raise the cost of carbon—the cost of polluting—whereas the Google team wants to lower the cost of energy, producing clean electricity for less than the cost of power generated with coal. RE&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still, we see different worldviews at work. "You can't succeed just out of conservation because then you won't have economic development," Google.org head Larry Brilliant said. "Find a way to make electricity—not to cut back on it but to have more of it than you ever dreamed of." More power than you ever dreamed of. Create and manage abundance rather than control scarcity—as ever, that is the Google approach. Whereas Gore talks about what we shouldn't do, Google talks about what we can do. There, we see the contrast between the politician's brain and the engineer's. Google people start with a problem and look for a solution. They identify a need, find an opportunity, and then systemically, logically, and aggressively attack it with innovation.&lt;br /&gt;In power or not, Google and the Internet will have a profound impact on how government is run, on its relationship with us, and on our expectations of it. Now that we have the technological means to open up government and make every action transparent, we must insist on a new ethic of openness. I say we should abolish the Freedom of Information Act so we can turn it inside out. Why should we have to ask for information from our government？The government should have to ask to keep it from us.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;科技行業財測消失為哪般2009-01-30&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在《彌合創新缺口》(Closing the Innovation Gap) 一書當中，前思科系統 (CSCO) 首席技術官、企業家埃斯特林(Judy Estrin)強調，“華爾街著眼於短期的傾向會成為一種詛咒，讓人們不敢承擔風險。”“沒有風險，也就沒有創新。”事實上，互聯網搜索巨頭谷歌 (GOOG) 自從2004年上市以來，就從來不提供任何季度表現預期。“在我們看來，外部的壓力在太多的情況下都會迫使企業犧牲一些長期機會，來迎合市場做出的財測。”谷歌創始人佩奇 (Larry Page) 和布林 (Sergey Brin) 在他們現在已經非常著名的那份S-1備案文件當中解釋道，“有些時候，這種壓力會導致企業操縱表現數字，以獲得令人滿意的答案。用巴菲特的話來說，我們不會修飾我們的季度或者年度業績：企業的盈利數字到我們這裡是怎樣，到你們那里就是怎樣。”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;不過，對於這種看似為股東考慮得極為周全的無私姿態，並非所有分析師都是舉雙手贊同的。Sanford Bernstein的分析師林德賽 (Jeff Lindsay) 負責研究谷歌和雅虎 (YHOO) 這樣的互聯網公司，他就覺得不提供財測是一件很糟糕的事情。“我們覺得企業就是應該更勇敢一點，站出來做這樣一件事情。”他補充道，對於投資大眾而言，任何透明度的降低都是壞事，“谷歌其實有一系列的內部追蹤訊息，他們知道很多，而我們這些分析師卻知道得很少。”林德賽強調，谷歌表面上似乎是站在了道德的高塔上，但實際上這完全是另外一回事，而且他們的做法也很難說就提供了更大的幫助。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20090131: 甚麼都不知道, 不是形同廢物嗎？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;目前，投資者最好也只能希望一些科技公司當前的做法只是短期措施，當衰退結束時，這種做法也就會消失，而不會像通用電氣或者谷歌那樣，將其作為永久的標準。其實，在當前這樣的艱難時世，也許企業才更應該盡可能地讓股東了解更多的情況。“我想，投資者也會更青睞那些透明度更高的企業的。”林德賽如是說。&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;20090205: Fortune："巴菲特指標"顯示買股時間可能已到鉅亨網編譯趙健君．綜合外電&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;《Fortune》 雜誌總編Carol Loomis在公司網站的Fortune Investor Daily專欄中發表文章指出，一項根據投資大師Warren Buffett (華倫巴菲特) 提出的指標顯示，買進股票的時間可能已經到了。文中畫出85年來美國股市市值與衡量經濟產值的國民生產毛額 (GNP) 的比率，表示兩項指數之間「應有合 理的關連」。2001年，由巴菲特和Loomis聯名發表的文章指出，一旦比率「跌至70-80%的區間，買進股票可能為你帶來不錯的收益。但若在比率偏高時進場，你就是在玩火。」根據《Fortune》畫出的表格，此比率在1月23日已跌至75%。在2000年3月，比率曾高達190%。Loomis表示，巴菲特曾在去年10月17日投書《紐約時報》，表示他個人已開始買進美國股票，而且如果股價續跌，他會持續加碼。道瓊工業指數自那時至今已下跌10%。Loomis與巴菲特關係密切，除了聯名撰文外，也協助撰寫 Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA-US) 致股東信函，因此她發表與巴菲特相關的文章總是格外受到矚目。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;20090205: 巴菲特運用的總經數字是市值/GNP比. 網路泡沫重挫, 巴菲特並未建議買進美國股票.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3345907756059445902-6476775390727284462?l=aaphoneman.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://aaphoneman.blogspot.com/feeds/6476775390727284462/comments/default' title='張貼意見'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3345907756059445902&amp;postID=6476775390727284462' title='0 個意見'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3345907756059445902/posts/default/6476775390727284462'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3345907756059445902/posts/default/6476775390727284462'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://aaphoneman.blogspot.com/2009/02/2009-week-6.html' title='2009 Week 6'/><author><name>阿尼</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16386106581617903762</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345907756059445902.post-821680290303139547</id><published>2009-01-29T16:18:00.015+08:00</published><updated>2009-02-07T18:10:38.194+08:00</updated><title type='text'>2009 Week 5</title><content type='html'>&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;通用少賺43% Google倒退68%2009-01-24&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;另搜尋引擎Google上季純利也倒退六成八，報三億八千二百四十萬美元或每股一點二一美元；若扣除部分成本，每股盈利達五點一美元，勝過市場預料的四點九六美元。&lt;strong&gt;同期，Google為時代華納旗下&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;美國在綫以及Clearwire&lt;/span&gt;的投資，作出十億九千萬美元的減值，是導致其純利按年大跌六成八的主因。期內，Google的營業額按年攀升一成八，報五十七億美元，雖然低於經常錄得的五成升幅，但在經濟不景下，已屬難能可貴。&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Google在上一季也作出節流的措施，包括削減資本開支四成六和僅增加一百名人手，增幅遠少於第三季的五百人，同時開始凍結人手，關閉部分業務和留意資源浪費的地方。股價已從○七年高峰回落五成九的Google，&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;同時推出新認股證計畫，容許持有行使價高於現價認股證的員工，以一換一的方式換取較貼近現價行使價的認股證，新認股證會以三月二日的收市價為行使價，以提振員工士氣。&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;20090125: google和9917TW一樣, 胡亂投資一些東西. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;20090129: 先射標再畫靶, 連巴菲特在一旁看的公司都這樣了 [The Snowball], 還有啥好說的.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kass: Buffett Brought Down to Earth 01/23/09&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It's never paid to bet against America.... We come through things, but it's not always a smooth ride....This is an economic Pearl Harbor." -- Warren Buffett, "Dateline" interview on NBC (Jan. 18, 2009) On Sunday evening, Warren Buffett sat down with NBC's Tom Brokaw for a marvelous and straightforward interview. (Here is the complete transcript.) Early in 2008, I took a controversial and negative view on Berkshire Hathaway's (BRK.A Quote - Cramer on BRK.A - Stock Picks) stock. During the late summer, I profitably covered a short I put on Berkshire at approximately $140,000 per share.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Based on the recent deterioration of Berkshire's investments, I might have been &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;premature&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;. (Berkshire's common now trades for under $89,000 a share.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the last 60 days, Berkshire's investment portfolio has &lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;plummeted&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; in &lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;value&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. Buffett has lost over $4.5 billion alone on his 300-million-share investment in Wells Fargo (WFC Quote - Cramer on WFC - Stock Picks) since Dec. 1, 2008, and another $1 billion loss on U.S. Bancorp's (USB Quote - Cramer on USB - Stock Picks) shares; both stocks have been halved in less than two months. His most recent investments in Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNI Quote - Cramer on BNI - Stock Picks), General Electric (GE Quote - Cramer on GE - Stock Picks) and Goldman Sachs (GS Quote - Cramer on GS - Stock Picks) have deteriorated markedly in value from his cost basis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Equally important, I have repeatedly uttered the notion that Berkshire's large derivative position -- namely, short puts on the S&amp;amp;P 500 -- was evidence of investment style drift. Regardless of that view, Berkshire has now likely recorded a nonrealized loss in excess of a $10 billion on the index short put position. A loss on that scale, whether realized or unrealized, is large even for Warren Buffett. In 2008 and (so far) 2009, The Oracle of Omaha has been wrong; it has paid to bet against America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Moreover, the U.S. "economic Pearl Harbor" has humanized and brought down to earth many of the smartest investors in the world (e.g., Warren Buffett), as well as the entire private equity universe, many &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#993399;"&gt;well-regarded&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; hedge funds and investors (e.g., Marty Whitman and &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Bill Miller&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;), and some masters of the universe in residential and nonresidential real estate, among others. Many industrialists, including Aubrey Kerr McClendon, Kerkor "Kirk" Kerkorian, Sheldon Adelson and Sumner Redstone, have been thrown under Mr. Market's bus, as have &lt;span style="color:#009900;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;financiers Dick Fuld&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, James Cayne, John Thain and even Bank of America's (BAC Quote - Cramer on BAC - Stock Picks) &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;Ken Lewis&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20090125: Dick Fuld: 雷曼兄弟的爛咖.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2009年 01月22日零售商在華擴張勢頭不減&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;幾家最大的跨國零售商正在中國市場推進其雄心勃勃的擴張計畫，在全球銷售下滑的背景下，相對而言，中國市場仍算是一個亮點。英國超市連鎖企業樂購 (Tesco PLC) 和大賣場零售商家樂福 (Carrefour SA)、沃爾瑪連鎖公司 (Wal-Mart Stores Inc.) 等公司依然看好中國消費者的長期潛力。現在儘管中國消費者信心呈明顯下滑趨勢，零售額依然保持良好增長勢頭。奢侈品賣場開發商Taubman Centers Inc.亞洲區總裁摩根•派克 (Morgan Parker) 表示，當前環境下在歐洲或美國開店的零售商會顯得很愚蠢，這樣中國等新興市場看起來就更有吸引力了。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;中國官方公佈的零售額數據維持在相當好的水準，不過其準確性受到某些經濟學家的質疑。資料顯示零售額增幅放緩：中國去年12月份零售額較上年同期增長20.8%，10月份和9月份的增速分別為22%和23%。而美國去年12月份零售額下降2.7%，為連續第六個月下降。南京宜家是宜家在中國的第六家門店，宜家還計畫新開兩家。樂購表示，儘管公司減少了英國的資本支出和開店數量，但仍在擴張中國的門店網路。該公司一位發言人表示，樂購計畫2009年大力在華擴張，包括在東部山東省和東南福建省開設第一家分店，並增加東北部遼寧省的店面數量。樂購在遼寧省已經開有11家分店。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;法國超市巨頭家樂福表示，計畫今年在中國增開28家分店，超過去年的22家。沃爾瑪去年在中國新開30家門店，前年新開店17家；該公司發言人董玉國表示，沃爾瑪沒有理由放慢擴張腳步。沃爾瑪表示，公司仍將繼續以每年在華新開十家以上分店的速度擴張；董玉國表示，因為這個市場仍然具有很大潛力。沃爾瑪身處食品行業，人們仍然有購買需求。他說，沃爾瑪並不公佈每個國家的銷售資料，但中國區業務是盈利的。截至去年11月份，沃爾瑪在華開設門店共計217家。其他一些零售商也在準備進入中國市場或繼續擴張。家居用品巨頭宜家 (Ikea) 計畫在中國現有6家門店的基礎上再新開兩家；加拿大購物中心開發商Ivanhoe Cambridge Inc.表示，準備今年在中國買下第一個商場。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;這些公司在全球經濟開始下滑前就有了進軍中國市場的打算。它們現在面臨中國經濟放緩的問題。調查諮詢公司Millward Brown 1月16日公佈的對中國11,000多人的調查顯示，78%的中國消費者已經感受到全球金融危機的某些影響，受到影響最嚴重的人可能會減少對西式速食、旅遊、娛樂和珠寶等奢侈品的消費。北京的諮詢公司零點集團 (Horizon Group) 的中國消費者信心指數顯示，去年12月份中國消費者信心降至2003年國內爆發“非典”疫情以來的最低水準。香港證券公司里昂證券亞太區市場 (CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets) 消費者研究部門負責人鮑爾•麥肯錫 (Paul McKenzie) 表示，中國零售業的發展速度肯定會低於以往水準。根據里昂證券的資料，同店銷售額增速在2007年下半年和2008年第一季度升至最高水準。他說，現在同店銷售額平均增速已經降至10%左右，有時還出現了個位數的增幅。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Taubman的派克說，某些零售商可能需要3-5年的時間才能在中國實現盈利，而很多公司現在沒有盈利。這家開發商目前正在亞洲建設兩個購物中心，其中一個位於澳門，受金融危機影響，其開業時間已經推遲了一年，至2011年。此外，日本超市連鎖企業永旺株式會社 (Aeon Co.) 表示，將在華開設100家分店的目標完成時間推遲兩年，至2013年2月。永旺株式會社作出這一決定是因為從去年10月份開始，該公司在中國市場的零售額增速放緩至5%-10%，而北京奧運會舉辦前為15%-18%。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;即便如此，有財務實力進行擴張的零售商也在對中國市場作長期打算。百貨商店百盛集團 (Parkson Group) 首席財務長王康仁表示，公司不會停止擴張，當前的情況只是暫時的。我們仍然看好中國和經濟形勢，但自從去年下半年開始，市場環境漸趨惡化，預計今年上半年也將是類似的情況。百盛在中國開有42家商場，今年還將有四至五家新店開業。這家香港上市企業在2008年中期業績報告中公佈，總銷售額增加21%，至人民幣52億元，同店銷售額增長14.4%。據媒體投資公司群邑集團 (GroupM Inc.) 的資料，今年在中國，與消費者需求密切相關的廣告支出預計將增加13%，預計新增需求帶來的支出為46億美元，這將部分彌補美國廣告支出不足（預計將減少52億美元）的情況。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;某些零售商嗅到了放緩的經濟中蘊含的機會。20世紀90年代日本經濟放緩時，很多奢侈品零售商選擇在東京的銀座購物街上購買零售空間，而非租賃；這個地區現在已經是寸土寸金。香港的Retail Development Consultants合夥人Steve Chen表示，與日本的情況類似，中國的房地產成本下降意味著某些零售商可以在未來兩個季度中購買更多項目，搶佔有利地段。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CORRECTING and REPLACING Coke Zero and Coca-Cola to Debut New Ads During Telecast of Super Bowl XLIII Monday January 26&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ninth graph, first sentence of release should read: The 30-second “Avatar” shows how people in today’s busy world use technology to stay virtually linked, creating a lack of real connection (sted The 30-second “Avatar” shows how people in today’s busy use technology to stay virtually linked, creating a lack of real connection). This Sunday, Pittsburgh Steeler Troy Polamalu, one of football’s most electrifying players, takes on the starring role in “Mean Troy,” a new Coke Zero ad that puts an unexpected twist on the iconic Coca-Cola “Mean Joe Greene” commercial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On February 1, nearly 100 million fans watching NBC’s broadcast of Super Bowl XLIII will see Polamalu shine on the field, but one of the Pro Bowl safety’s biggest hits of the day may come in the first Coke Zero ad ever to air during the Super Bowl telecast. In the 30-second spot, Polamalu reprises the part made famous by Pittsburgh Steelers legend “Mean” Joe Greene, but in true Coke Zero style, he takes the role in an entirely different direction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first 12 seconds of the new Coke Zero spot are certain to cause double-takes as they mimic the look of the original ad. The scene opens with Polamalu limping down a tunnel to the locker room, followed closely by a young fan who offers an ice-cold Coke Zero to his battered hero. All similarities end there as the action takes a surprising turn to humorously reinforce that with Coke Zero, it’s possible to have “Real Coke Taste and Zero Calories.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The Coca-Cola ‘Mean Joe Greene’ ad is one of the most famous commercials of all time, so I was blown away when they asked me to be in this new spot,” said Polamalu. “Following Joe’s performance is tough, but because my Coke Zero ad has a totally unpredictable twist, we got to put a new spin on it. We’re keeping the ending a surprise, but I think people will get a kick out of the intensity I display to get my hands on the real Coke taste of Coke Zero.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since its launch in 2005, growth for Coke Zero continues to accelerate. The brand grew by 35 percent in 2007 and maintained this level of performance through August 2008, reaching a 1.5 share in the Sparkling Soft Drink category (Neilsen - Q3 2008). For the third consecutive year, new commercials for Coca-Cola will also appear in the Super Bowl telecast with the introduction of two spots from the brand’s new global “Open Happiness” campaign. “Open Happiness,” which launched just last week, invites people to open a Coke and enjoy a simple moment of pleasure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Our brands are part of the fun and celebrations that friends and families experience when they gather to enjoy big events,” said Katie Bayne, chief marketing officer, Coca-Cola North America. “People watch the Super Bowl broadcast as much for the ads as the game itself, so it’s a great way to remind people of what Coca-Cola and Coke Zero share in common – great Coca-Cola taste.” A 60-second animated spot, entitled “Heist,” features a man dozing off in a park, unaware of a plot among the park’s smaller inhabitants to unite in an effort to abscond with his Coca-Cola.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 30-second “Avatar” shows how people in today’s busy world use technology to stay virtually linked, creating a lack of real connection. When two people in a diner unexpectedly share a Coca-Cola, the human connection breaks down digital walls and creates a moment of happiness. Following its debut, “Mean Troy” will continue to air in a variety of programming and an expanded 60-second version will run in movie theaters across the country. The Coca-Cola “Open Happiness” campaign made its debut on American Idol last week and additional spots are slated to launch in coming weeks. Crispin Porter + Bogusky created the new “Mean Troy” ad and the “Open Happiness” campaign was developed by Wieden + Kennedy in Portland.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;l 2009年01月26日鋼鐵公司欲大幅壓低鐵礦石協議價格&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;在這個所有大宗商品似乎都前景黯淡的一年，全球鋼鐵公司和礦業公司開始了秘密的09年度合約談判；鋼鐵公司希望鐵礦石價格至少下降10%，而礦業公司卻決意維持當前價格水準。一些觀察人士認為新的鐵礦石價格將比2008年下調30%此類年度合約談判的結果將影響到鋼鐵價格，並受到汽車廠商、設備製造商、建築公司以及其他主要鋼鐵消費產業的密切關注，它們都希望能在當前疲軟的經濟狀況下降低成本。一些行業觀察人士相信，鐵礦石價格可能會較2008年水準下降至多30%，從而給鋼鐵價格施加下行壓力。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;顯示談判艱苦程度的一個跡象是，&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;必和必拓 (BHP Billiton)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;、&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;力拓 (Rio Tinto)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; 和&lt;span style="color:#cc33cc;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;淡水河谷公司&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; (Companhia Vale Do Rio Doce) 目前並不急於開始談判，它們希望在4月份開始談判以獲得更好的議價地位。淡水河谷公司和必和必拓沒有參加上周與中國鋼鐵企業既定的一些初步會談，它們認定價格終將回升，因此認為推遲談判符合自身的最佳利益。一家礦業公司表示，我們希望盡可能拖延談判。礦業公司普遍希望維持目前每噸90美元的鐵礦石價格，這也是鋼鐵公司2008年支付的價格。與此同時，鋼鐵公司則致力於儘早達成協定，希望鎖定當前現貨市場每噸80美元的價格，它們擔心鐵礦石價格會隨著全球經濟回暖而迅速上揚。這些公司曾希望改變沿襲數年的截至每年4月份的協議期限，改為按正常年度確定協議期限，但最終沒有獲得成功。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;不管怎樣，當前的鐵礦石價格都遠遠低於去年年初現貨市場一度達到的歷史最高價每噸200美元。去年年底的時候，現貨市場的鐵礦石價格已經回落到了每噸60美元左右，但此後又攀升至每噸80美元附近的水準。推動價格回升的主要原因是礦業公司普遍關停礦山，導致市場供應大幅減少。全球最大的鐵礦石供應商淡水河谷公司表示，去年第四季度鐵礦石產量較上年同期減少了21%。全球第二大鐵礦石供應商力拓也表示，當季鐵礦石產量下滑了18%。但考慮到全球經濟的暗淡前景，即便礦業公司削減產量，目前也無法確定鐵礦石是會繼續攀升還是會陷入停滯。滙豐 (HSBC) 分析師齊默曼 (Thorsten Zimmermann) 認為，2009年鐵礦石價格會下跌30%，令鋼鐵公司處於絕佳的壓價地位。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;全球鐵礦石協議價格可能會由取決於中國鋼鐵行業的談判結果，以寶山鋼鐵股份有限公司和中國鋼鐵工業協會為首的中國鋼鐵行業近年來一直是最先與主要鐵礦石企業進行談判的。雙方可能在3月前達成最終協定，協定價格一般會為全球鋼鐵公司所普遍接受。為了應對當前的經濟困難時期，鋼鐵公司曾試圖團結起來，在與向它們供應原材料的大型礦業公司談判時獲得一些優勢。但總的來說，鋼鐵公司在這方面收效甚微。中國鋼鐵工業協會本月早些時候曾支援國內企業團結起來統一鐵礦石進口價格。但這一同盟宣告破裂，因為一些中國鋼鐵公司發現它們可以按照與礦業公司的協議價格購買礦石，然後在現貨市場上以更高的價格出售獲利。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20090128: 投機買賣？&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;對中國和美國政府來說，今年的鐵礦石談判結果有著特殊的意義。兩國政府都推出了經濟刺激計畫，其中包括了修建橋樑、道路和公共工程等大規模基礎設施投資專案，這些都需要大量消耗鋼鐵。即便鐵礦石維持當前價格，但由於鋼鐵需求正在萎縮，鋼鐵產品價格也可能會持續受壓。滙豐分析師齊默曼預計，由於經濟疲軟會重創鋼鐵銷量，今年鋼鐵產品需求或將下滑7.2%。國際鋼鐵協會 (World Steel Association)上周公佈，2008年全球鋼鐵產量6年來首次出現下滑。&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;20090128: 鋼鐵公司必須和礦產公司談原料價格.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kass: Is This the End of Warren Buffett？01/27/09&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"All good things must come to an end, but all bad things can continue forever."&lt;br /&gt;-- Unknown&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last week, I suggested that Warren Buffett's star was crashing back to earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Barron's Senior Editor Andrew Bary penned a similar piece over the weekend.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Armed with some additional information, I have made tentative conclusions regarding the intrinsic value of Berkshire Hathaway's (BRK.A Quote - Cramer on BRK.A - Stock Picks) common shares.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At year-end 2007, Berkshire's investment portfolio had a cost of $39.2 billion and a market value of $75 billion. Since the end of third quarter 2008, the value of Berkshire's investment portfolio has experienced a pronounced drop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Berkshire's six investments listed below have fallen by over $16 billion in value; this is more than just a bump in the road:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Wells Fargo (WFC Quote - Cramer on WFC - Stock Picks) closed at $37.53 on Sept. 30, 2008. Last week, it closed at $15.
