4、将运用全部的既有资讯,以确保适当的价格。投资者能经年累月地击败市场,纯粹是运气使然。“如果价格完全反应既有的资讯,则这类的投资技巧将不存在。”一位现今教科书的作者如此与写道。Well,maybe.ButIwanttopresenttoyouagroupofinvestorswhohave,yearinandyearout,beatentheStandard&Poors500stockindex.Thehypothesisthattheydothisbypurechanceisatleastworthexamining.Crucialtothisexaminationisthefactthatt

7、之久。缺少这项条件换言之,如果我最近才从成千上万的记录中挑选几个名字,并且在今天早上提供给各位我建议各位立即停止阅读本文。我必须说明,所有的这些记录都经过稽核。我必须再说明,我认识许多上述经理人的客户,他们长年以来所收取的支票确实符合既有的记录。Beforewebeginthisexamination,Iwouldlikeyoutoimagineanationalcoin-flippingcontest.Letsassumeweget225millionAmericansuptomorrowmorningandweaskthemalltowageradollar.Theygooutinthem

9、tenflipsinarow.Theyeachwillhavewonalittleover$1,000.在进行审查之前,我要各位设想场全国性的掷铜板大赛。让我们假定,全美国225亿的人口在明天早晨起床时都掷出一枚一美元的铜板。早晨太阳升起时,他们都走到门外掷铜板,并猜铜板出现的正面或反面。如果猜对了,他们将从猜错者的手中赢得一美元。每大都有输家遭到淘汰,奖金则不断地累积。经过十个早晨的十次投掷之后,全美国约有22万人连续十次猜对掷铜板的结果。每人所赢得的资金约超过1000美元。Nowthisgroupwillprobablystartgettingalittlepuffedupaboutthi

12、二十次猜对掷铜板的结果,每个人并赢得大约100万美元的奖金。输家总共付出225亿美元,赢家则得到225亿美元。Bythen,thisgroupwillreallylosetheirheads.TheywillprobablywritebooksonHowIturnedaDollarintoaMillioninTwentyDaysWorkingThirtySecondsaMorning.Worseyet,theyllprobablystartjettingaroundthecountryattendingseminarsonefficientcoin-flippingandtacklingske
13、pticalprofessorswith,Ifitcantbedone,whyarethere215ofus?这时候,这群人可能完全沉迷在自己的成就中:他们可能开始著书立说:“我如何每天早晨工作30秒,而在二十天之内将美元变成100万美元。”更糟的是,他们会在全国各地参加讲习会,宣扬如何有效地投掷铜板,并且反驳持怀疑态度的教授说,“如果这是不可能的事,为什么会有我们这215个人呢?”Bythensomebusinessschoolprofessorwillprobablyberudeenoughtobringupthefactthatif225millionorangutanshadengag
14、edinasimilarexercise,theresultswouldbemuchthesame-215egotisticalorangutanswith20straightwinningflips.但是,某商学院的教授可能会粗鲁地提出项事实,如果225亿只猩猩参加这场大赛,结果大致上也是如此有215只自大的猩猩将连续赢得20次的投掷。Iwouldargue,however,thattherearesomeimportantdifferencesintheexamplesIamgoingtopresent.Foronething,if(a)youhadtaken225millionorang
