其實這兩個星期太多花生,823供股,BRK減持TSM,Munger炎上,誤了業績正事,但花生不食又對唔住自己。希望呢篇講完Munger點評BABA ,就回歸正途。
新聞大賣headline說BABA是一個biggest mistakes,當然又會不少KOLssss拿花生,講punch line。可是,我們更應該了解的,不是為何Munger說BABA是biggest mistakes?
我們又看看原文:
主持問:「He (提問者) says, according to company filings,
it appeared that Alibaba shares were purchased with leverage. And when the
stock price fell last year, he was seemingly forced to sell. 」
Munger答:「Yes, it’s true. I operated with no leverage for long stretches of my old age and Warren is the same way. And recently, I did use a little bit of leverage here in another place because the opportunities were so ridiculously good. I thought it was desirable to do that.」
這句回答,小薯不太清楚是否確認BABA爆margin所以要賣,但可以肯定的是BABA是用margin/leverage買的。隨後Munger討論leverage的應用,就很值得學習,有機會再同大家分享。
之後被問到中美關系及近日的spy balloon 如何影響BABA這項投資。Munger就立刻炮轟阿里巴巴創辦人馬雲2020年10元發表演說時,大力批評大陸監管機構和銀行,認為這行為已經越界,相當愚蠢,就像用鋒利的棍子戳一頭熊的鼻子,十分不明智,且也傷害BABA。
最後說出被演釋為BABA is biggest mistake的回答:「But I regard Alibaba as one of the worst mistakes I ever made in thinking about Alibaba, I got charmed with the idea of their position on the Chinese ever did. didn’t stop to realise it’s still a goddamn retailer. It’s gonna be a competitive business, the internet, it’s not gonna be a cakewalk for everybody. 」
坦言投資BABA是他犯過最嚴重的錯誤之一,因為他當時太過著迷於阿里巴巴在大陸互聯網的地位,沒有意識到其仍是一家零售商,依然是一個競爭激烈的行業。
最後在另外一條問題再回答:「When the internet came in, I got overcharged by the people who were leading in the online retailing. And I didn’t realise it’s still retailing, you know, it may be online retailing. But it’s also still retailing and I just, I got a little out of focus. And that had me overestimate the future returns from Alibaba. 」
進一步確定他高估了BABA,忘記了BABA本質上是在零售業。
大家看到這裡,明白Munger認為BABA is biggest mistake的原因嗎?
- 可能leverage處理不當要被迫賣貨。
- 忘記了電商本質是零售業。
小薯自己都有投資AMZN、BABA等電商公司,但投資的想法或者方向則可能跟Munger的想法有些出入,而那些方向也在以前不同的文章分享過。可是,Munger所說的理由,就是小薯不太喜歡PDD、JD的原因。小薯會不會有錯?可能會,所以投資時,基本上每間公司的倉位都不會太高,以免一子錯,滿盤皆落索。
最後想引用Munger說的一句話:「And, and so I have never gotten twice, eliminate mistakes. 」其實認錯沒有好羞恥,反而不肯去認錯,才是最大的錯誤。
