red to my distaste for holding small positions and sold the 7 million shares we owned。
只不过当我们开始买进不到700万股时,该公司股价就开始上涨,失望之余,我立刻停止买进(事后回想还好我没有在买进可口可乐时犯下相同的错误),更有甚者,我觉得区区700万股对我们来说实在是没有太大的意义,所以之后又把持有的700万股全部卖掉。
I wish I could give you a halfway rational explanation for my amateurish behavior vis…a…vis Fannie Mae。 But there isn't one。 What I can give you is an estimate as of yearend 1991 of the approximate gain that Berkshire didn't make because of your Chairman's mistake: about 1。4 billion。
我期盼对于我这样不具职业水准的投资行为可以给各位一个稍微合理一点的解释,不过我实在是编不出来,不过我倒是可以跟各位报告因为本人的这项错误,大概使得Berkshire在1991年少赚了14亿美元。
Fixed…Ine Securities固定收益证券
We made several significant changes in our fixed…ine portfolio during 1991。 As I noted earlier; our Gillette preferred was called for redemption; which forced us to convert to mon stock; we eliminated our holdings of an RJR Nabisco issue that was subject to an exchange offer and subsequent call; and we purchased fixed…ine securities of American Express and First Empire State Corp。; a Buffalo…based bank holding pany。 We also added to a small position in ACF Industries that we had established in late 1990。 Our largest holdings at yearend were:
1991年我们在固定收益证券这方面的投资有很大的变动,如同先前曾提到的我们的吉列可转换特别股被强制赎回,使得我们必须将之转换为普通股,另外我们也出清了RJR Nabisco的债券,因为它在被转换后赎回,在另一方面我们也买进美国运通与第一帝国…一家水牛城的银行控股公司的固定收益证券,此外还在1990年底买进了一些ACF工业的债券,以下是截至年底我们持有的主要部位:

Our 40 million of First Empire State preferred carries a 9% coupon; is non…callable until 1996 and is convertible at 78。91 per share。 Normally I would think a purchase of this size too small for Berkshire; but I have enormous respect for Bob Wilmers; CEO of First Empire; and like being his partner on any scale。
我们在第一帝国9%收益率的特别股投资了4;000万美元,在1996年前公司无法赎回,每股转换价格订为78。91美元,通常我会认为这样的规模对于Berkshire来说实在是太小了,但由于我们对于该公司总裁Bob Wilmers实在是过于崇敬,所以不管金额大小,还是希望有机会能与他一起合伙共事。
Our American Express preferred is not a normal fixed…ine security。 Rather it is a 〃Perc;〃 which carries a fixed dividend of 8。85% on our 300 million cost。 Absent one exception mentioned later; our preferred must be converted three years after issuance; into a maximum of 12;244;898 shares。 If necessary; a downward adjustment in the conversion ratio will be made in order to limit to 414 million the total value of the mon we receive。 Though there is thus a ceiling on the value of the mon stock that we will receive upon conversion; there is no floor。 The terms of the preferred; however; include a provision allowing us to extend the conversion date by one year if the mon stock is below 24。50 on the third anniversary of our purchase。
至于美国运通的投资则不是一般的固定收益证券,它算是一种Perc…每年可以为我们3亿美元的投资贡献8。85%的股利收入,除了接下来会提到的一个特点,那就是我们的特别股在发行后的三年可以转换成最多12;244;898股的普通股,若有必要我们可转换的股份可能会向下调整,以确定我们所收到的股份总值不能够超过4。14亿美元,虽然对于可能取得的普通股价值有其上限,但相对地却没有下限,不过这样的特别条款还包含若是三年期限到时公司股价低于24。5美元时,可以有权请求延长转换期限一年。
Overall; our fixed…ine investments have treated us well; both over the long term and recently。 We have realized large capital gains from these holdings; including about 152 million in 1991。 Additionally; our after…tax yields have considerably exceeded those earned by most fixed…ine portfolios。
总的来说,不管最近或是是长期而言,我们在固定收益证券上的投资表现还算不错,靠着这样的投资我们赚取大量的资本利得,在1991年这个数字大约在1。52亿美元左右,此外我们的税后投资报酬率也远高于一般的固定收益证券。
Nevertheless; we have had some surprises; none greater than the need for me to involve myself personally and intensely in the Salomon situation。 As I write this letter; I am also writing a letter for inclusion in Salomon's annual report and I refer you to that report for an update on the pany。 (Write to: Corporate Secretary; Salomon Inc; Seven World Trade Center; New York; NY 10048) Despite the pany's travails; Charlie and I believe our Salomon preferred stock increased slightly in value during 1991。 Lower interest rates and a higher price for Salomon's mon produced this result。
不过在这期间也发生一些小意外,当然没有像所罗门事件那样让我本人都跳进去,当我在撰写这封信时,我也同时写了一封信要放在所罗门的年度报告之内,我顺便提出来算是对于该公司近况的一份报告,(写给纽约第七世贸大楼所罗门公司),虽然公司遭逢不幸,但查理跟我都相信,目前低利率的环境加上所罗门普通股的股价回升,使我们在所罗门的特别股价值已略见增加。
Last year I told you that our USAir investment 〃should work out all right unless the industry is decimated during the next few years。〃 Unfortunately 1991 was a decimating period for the industry; as Midway; Pan Am and America West all entered bankruptcy。 (Stretch the period to 14 months and you can add Continental and TWA。)
去年我曾告诉各位除非航空业的经营环境在未来几年内加速恶化,否则我们在美国航空的投资应该可以有不错的结果,不过很不幸的随着中美、泛美与美西航空相继倒闭,1991年正是航空业加速恶化的一年,(若是把时间延长为14个月,则还要包括大陆航空与TWA两家航空公司)。
The low valuation that we have given USAir in our table reflects the risk that the industry will remain unprofitable for virtually all participants in it; a risk that is far from negligible。 The risk is heightened by the fact that the courts ha
