Buffett’s Letters To Berkshire Shareholders 1995
巴菲特致股东的信1995年
Our gain in net worth during 1995 was $5.3 billion, or 45.0%. Per-share book value grew by a little less, 43.1%, because we paid stock for two acquisitions, increasing our shares outstanding by 1.3%. Over the last 31 years (that is, since present management took over) per-share book value has grown from $19 to $14,426, or at a rate of 23.6% compounded annually.
1995年本公司的净值成长了45 %约53亿美元，但由于去年以发行股份的方式并购了两家公司，使得发行在外股份增加了1.3%，所以每股净值仅成长了43.1%，而总计过去31年以来，也就是自从现有经营阶层接手之后，每股净值由当初的19元成长到现在的14,426美元，年复合成长率约为23.6%。

There's no reason to do handsprings over 1995's gains. This was a year in which any fool could make a bundle in the stock market. And we did. To paraphrase President Kennedy, a rising tide lifts all yachts.
对于1995年能够有这样的成果并没有什么值得好高兴的，因为在去年那样的股票市场状况，任何一个笨蛋都可以很轻易在市场上有所斩获，我们当然也不例外，套句甘乃迪总统说过的一句话，只要一波大浪来就可以撑起所有的船只。
