  2024年巴菲特股东大会问答要点一览:

  谈减持苹果

  5月4日,2024年巴菲特股东大会直播中,巴菲特回应了减持苹果股票问题。他表示,我们还是有很多苹果的股票。在今年年底的时候,苹果是我们有史以来最大的普通股的持有方。查理和我都会去看这些普通股的权益,我们把它认为是业务,不单单只是股票。我们也有冰雪皇后的股票,我们也把它看为业务,看成是公司。我们可以去买下非常棒的公司,但是买不了他们所有的或者80%以上的股份。

  当我们去审视苹果、运通、可口可乐的时候,我们把它们看成是公司,当然有一些税务、管理等等因素的不同,但当我们配置资金的时候,我们会看每一个公司,而不只是把他们当成股票的投资。我们不会想去预测市场,不会单单选股。

  当被问及伯克希尔为何削减其对苹果的投资时,巴菲特表示,这是出于税收原因,因为这项投资获得了可观的收益,而不是出于他对该股的长期判断。他还表示,这可能与他个人观点有关,他认为美国税率会提高,以资助不断膨胀的美国财政赤字。

  谈现金储备

  巴菲特表示,Q1季度结束时,伯克希尔的现金和国库券总额超过1800亿美元,他认为在本季度末,公司的现金和国库券将达2000亿美元,这是一个合理的假设。他们很想花这笔钱,但除非他们认为正在做的事情风险很小,而且能带来很大回报,否则不会花钱。

  巴菲特解释了为何他并不急于动用公司逾1800亿美元的庞大现金储备。巴菲特表示,不会在5newdragontiger.4%这么高利率的情况下使用这笔钱,只在正确的时候挥杆一击。

  谈继任计划

  在被问及当阿贝尔接手伯克希尔后,他与两名投资副手托德和泰德的权责分配时,巴菲特表示,这个决定将交给伯克希尔的董事会来做出,等到他不在了后,可能会尝试“回来看看他们是否有不同的做法”。

  但巴菲特强调,如果他在那时的董事会里,可能会根据对阿贝尔的了解,将资本配置的责任留给阿贝尔,因为他非常了解业务。巴菲特表示,如果你了解企业,你就会了解股票,如果你真的知道企业是如何运作的,你就是一个投资经理。巴菲特表示,现在由他承担的责任,应完全由下一任CEO,也就是阿贝尔承担。

  谈人工智能

  巴菲特坦言,“我对AI一无所知”,但不意味着这个技术不重要。去年我提到,让精灵从瓶子跳出来。让它跳了出来,精灵对很多人很有作用,但我希望这种精灵在未来可以做好事。

  我没法对它评估。二战时有了核技术,我们当时觉得终止战争是必要的。AI的发展让我紧张,特别是最近的进展,我目睹的一些现象有些吓人。AI会引发欺诈问题,比如一张图片难以辨别真假,欺诈市场增长会很快。当然AI也可能做好事。

  谈海外投资

  关于是否之后有机会投资中国的机票,巴菲特称,我们主要投资会在美国,我们投资的一些公司比如运通、可口可乐都有全球业务,是全球消费者都会优先考虑的饮料或是支付手段,全球难以找到这样与之相当的投资标的,他们的业务很强。

  比亚迪的投资与5年前在日本的投资相似,这是美国之外很少有的大笔投资。对于投资日本公司的立场还是很满意的。全世界还有其他不少国家不够理解,所以还是以美国为主。不能容忍一些可能赔钱的状况。

  巴菲特还透露,伯克希尔的下一笔大交易可能不会是对美国之外的企业的投资。

  谈印度投资

  巴菲特还回答是否可能投资印度,他表示我们在关注印度,我相信印度有大把的机会,但我的问题是我们在印度到底在见解上面有没有任何的优势,我们的投资有没有可能是印度真的想要我们参与的。

  谈加拿大投资

  在回应加拿大投资者的问题时,巴菲特透露,伯克希尔正在评估一项可能的投资机会,地点在“(美国)边境以北”。巴菲特表示:我们对在加拿大投资感到非常舒适,实际上,我们现在正在考察一项投资。

  谈可再生能源

Buffett said renewable energy is interesting, but it takes time to develop. "some things take some time. Let me give an example that my daughter hates to illustrate this. It takes a woman to conceive in October to have a child, but you can't let ten women create one child in a month. "

But Buffett also said solar energy may never be the only source of electricity. Greg Abel, Buffett's successor and chairman of Berkshire's energy business, also said reliability and affordability are important factors to keep in mind.

On American debt

Asked if he was worried that rising debt levels would damage the status of US Treasuries, Mr Buffett said his "most optimistic guess is that Treasuries are acceptable for a long time because there are not many alternatives." 'The question is not quantity, but whether inflation threatens the global economic structure in some way, 'Mr. Buffett said. He also said that there is no real currency to replace the dollar.

Talking about autopilot

Buffett: autopilot may reduce the number of car accidents or reduce costs. Some people are starting to use it, and future data will show what the future will be like. People have been talking about it a lot in the past few years. In the insurance industry, there was also discussion when Uber began to rise. For some things, past estimates are wrong. You think insurance is an easy business, but it's not. The insurance business is very interesting because you get the money in the first place, and then you will find that you have done something stupid. But when someone gives you the money and you hand them a small piece of paper, it's a very attractive business. "

If traffic accidents can be reduced by 50%, that sounds good. We are looking for opportunities. Even though some people drive many miles, they are still killed in car accidents. This is not an easy figure to estimate.

Talking about Real Estate Investment

On the question of whether Berkshire broker will be considered in buying a house, Buffett said that he does not buy a house so often, and the possibility of investing in real estate after that should be very low.
