「股神」巴菲特，以其睿智的投資匯集了龐大的資產，近期「富比士」雜誌(Forbes)披露了他二十五歲初入職場的轉折與抉擇，究竟當年的他都在想什麼，又做了什麼關鍵決定？本文引述自他最新自述，看完後，也許能勾起你和巴菲特一樣的那份執著和熱情！閱讀本文前，請先想想以下財經詞彙的英文怎麼說：(1)避險基金 (2)複利 (3)清償公司債務
Benjamin Graham had been my idol ever since I read his book The Intelligent Investor. I had wanted to go to Columbia Business School because he was a professor there, and after I got out of Columbia, returned to Omaha, and started selling securities, I didn’t forget about him. Between 1951 and 1954, I made a pest of myself, sending him frequent securities ideas. Then I got a letter back: “Next time you’re in New York, come and see me.”
So there I went, and he offered me a job at Graham-Newman Corp., which he ran with Jerry Newman. Everyone says that A.W. Jones started the hedge fundindustry, but Graham-Newman’s sister partnership, Newman and Graham, was actually an earlier fund.
青少年時期讀了班傑明葛拉漢(Benjamin Graham)的書後，他就成了我的偶像。這也是我後來讀哥倫比亞大學商學院的原因：葛拉漢就在那兒任教職。完成商學院學業後，我回到老家奧瑪哈賣保險，卻始終無法忘懷為偶像工作的夢想。於是我頻繁寫信給葛拉漢，大聊我的保險經。終於，對方親自回信，甚至要我去紐約為他的避險基金(hedge fund)公司工作。
