01 美国股市最早的价值，主要是给企业融资和促进资源优化配置， 19世纪初，美国处于快速发展阶段，但交通不便制约了经济的进一步发展，修建运河成为当时的迫切需求。 纽约州州长决定成立伊利运河公司，并通过债券的方式向公众募集资金100万美元，使得运河能够顺利建设，在1825年全程通航，降低了运输成本，提高了 运输效率。 这两天巴菲特清仓比亚迪的新闻，上了很多热搜。 其实对于巴菲特清仓比亚迪，我并不觉得奇怪，2022年巴菲特就开始逐步减持比亚迪的股票。 当时，我写过几篇分析文章，有市场疯狂估值太高的原因，有巴菲特需要买石油对冲人民币贬值的原因，也有可能是巴菲特接班人风格调整的原因。 但是，我想从另外一个角度看待这个事情。 我们经常说：不忘初心！ 那股市的初心是什么？价值投资者的初心是什么？ 02 这种公开募集的方式也为美国股市的发展奠定了重要基础。 中国股市诞生于20世纪80年代末至90年代初，是计划经济向市场经济转型的产物，推动了中国经济体制改革的进程。 像融资困难的科技企业就是通过资本市场募资得到了高速发展，2004年腾讯在香港上市募资15亿港币，2005年百度美国上市募资1.09亿美元，2007年阿里巴 巴在 ...

Core Viewpoint - The article emphasizes the importance of arbitrage as a key strategy in value investing, highlighting how value investors, including Buffett, leverage risk-return asymmetry to identify investment opportunities [1][2]. Summary by Sections Introduction - The article introduces arbitrage as a crucial yet often overlooked tool in value investing, linking it to Buffett's investment philosophy and risk aversion [1]. Historical Context - Buffett and his mentor Graham have engaged in arbitrage for nearly 60 years, achieving an average return of 20%. Graham referred to it as "Special Situation" in his 1951 book "Security Analysis" [2]. Graham's Definition of Special Situations - Graham defined "Special Situations" as specific events in publicly traded companies that can yield satisfactory returns even in a stagnant market. He categorized these situations and provided a formula to estimate expected returns [4][5]. Categories of Special Situations - Graham identified seven categories of "Special Situations," including mergers, capital restructuring, and litigation, each with its own case studies [6]. Buffett's Arbitrage Strategy - In his 1957 letter, Buffett categorized his investments into general stocks, arbitrage stocks, and control stocks, emphasizing the importance of capital preservation and risk aversion in arbitrage [10][14]. Arbitrage Stocks - Arbitrage stocks, or "Workout" stocks, are linked to specific corporate actions like acquisitions and restructurings. The returns from these investments are less dependent on market fluctuations and more on the successful execution of corporate plans [14][15]. Predictability and Risk Management - Arbitrage investments are characterized by their predictability and relatively stable returns, with annualized returns typically ranging from 10% to 20%. Buffett believes that understanding the main risks associated with arbitrage makes them manageable [16][17]. Case Study: Aracate Investment - The article details a complex arbitrage case involving Aracate, where Buffett navigated various challenges to achieve a satisfactory return, demonstrating the practical application of his arbitrage principles [20][24]. Conclusion - The article concludes that successful arbitrage investing requires a nuanced understanding of risks and returns, emphasizing the need for careful analysis of each unique situation [25][26].

"查理坚持要买比亚迪，他一次又一次地向我描述王传福的非凡之处。"巴菲特在2017年的一次访谈中坦言，"最终我意识到， 这不仅仅是对一家公司的投资，更是对一个愿景和其缔造者的信任。" 于是，在2008年那个充满不确定性的秋天，伯克希尔通过旗下中美能源公司完成了这笔标志性交易。以每股8港元的价格购入 2.25亿股比亚迪H股，占据当时公司10%的股份。这笔投资在当时的估值水平下显得尤为谨慎——市盈率仅10.2倍，市净率1.53 倍，完全符合巴菲特一贯的价值投资标准。 9月21日晚间，据外媒报道，沃伦・巴菲特旗下的伯克希尔・哈撒韦已完全退出其在比亚迪的投资，为这段横跨十七载的投资 传奇画上了休止符。这则消息的背后，是一段令人惊叹的数字之旅——自巴菲特2008年以每股8港元购入比亚迪股份以来，这 家中国新能源汽车制造商的股价累计上涨约3890%，将18亿港元的初始投资变成了超过600亿港元的丰厚回报。 颇具意味的是，这笔投资的起点恰恰在国际金融危机的漩涡之中。 2008年9月，当雷曼兄弟倒闭引发全球市场恐慌之际，巴菲特却逆流而上，完成了这笔后来被证明是神来之笔的投资。而如 今，当比亚迪在全球电动车市场占据举足轻重地位之 ...
