霍华德·马克斯:最重要的事·第7则
霍华德·马克斯《《最重要的事》》· The Most Important Thing · 财富 · 投资 · 认知 · 行动
At Oaktree we try to sit on our hands. We don’t go out with a “buy list”; rather, we wait for the phone to ring (while we do our research and analysis). If we call the owner and say, “You own x and we want to buy it,” the price will go up. But if the owner calls us and says, “We’re stuck with x and we’re looking for an exit,” the price will go down. Thus, rather than initiating transactions, we react opportunistically. One of our mottos is “we don’t look for our investments; they find us.” In general, that means investing from the bottom up, not from the top down – from the list of things that are available cheap, not in things we think it’d be great to have a position in.

白话
马克斯讲橡树的习惯:不主动出击,而是等电话响。他们不列“想买清单”去追项目,而是先做好研究,然后等卖方找上门。因为主动打电话求购,价格会被抬高;对方急着脱手来找你,价格才会压低。所以他们的做法是反应式地抓机会,而不是主动发起交易,一句口号是“我们不找投资,让投资来找我们”。落到操作上,就是从下往上选:先看市面上哪些东西便宜,而不是先想自己最想要什么。

你最近一次买入,是别人急着卖给你,还是你追着买?
