巴 菲 特 思 想 网 www. B ． ． ． ． ． ． To the Shareholders of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.: 致伯克希尔·哈撒韦公司股东： The per-share book value of both our Class A and Class B stock increased by 4.6% in 2011. Over thelast 47 years (that is, since present management took over), book value has grown from $19 to $99,860, a rate 1 of 19.8% compounded annually.* 2011 年，我们公司的A股和B股的每股账面净值都增长了 4.6%。过去 47 年期间（也 就是说从现在的管理层接管公司开始至今），每股账面净值从 19美元增长到了 99,860 美元，每年复合增长率为 19.8%。* Charlie Munger, Berkshire’s Vice Chairman and my partner, and I feel good about the company’s progress during 2011.

Both of these men have outstanding investment skills and a deep commitment to Berkshire. Each will be handling a few billion dollars in 2012, but they have the brains, judgment and character to manage our entire portfolio when Charlie and I are no longer running Berkshire. 2011年初，托德·康布斯（Todd Combs ）作为投资经理人加入我们公司，2012年初泰德随时韦 斯切勒（Ted Weschler ）也加入公司。他们两位都具有杰出的投资技巧， 而且愿意全心全意 为伯克希尔公司服务。2012年他们俩人将会管理几十亿美元的投资，但是，当我和芒格不同 管理伯克希尔公司的时候，他们俩人具备的头脑、判断和性格完全能够管理伯克希尔公司的 整个投资组合。 Your Board is equally enthusiastic about my s
