Benjamin Graham-「證券分析」的作者,在其另一本名著「智慧型股票投資人」開宗明義地表明:"An investment operation is one which, upon through analysis promises safety of principal and an adequate return. Operations not meeting these requirements are speculative."
“ An investment operation in my view is one where you look at the asset itself to determine your decision to lay out some money now to get some more money back later on."
" You are basically committing some funds now to get more funds later on through the operation of the asset.”- Warren Buffet
依我的看法,投資行動是當一個人利用資產本身來決定他要放多少的錢來換未來更多的錢回來。
基本上來說就是你現在投入一些資金期待未來透過資產的運作能夠拿回更多的錢。
"Speculation, I would define, as much more focused on the price action of the stock, particularly that you buy the indexed future or something of the sort. Because you are you are counting on, for whatever factors, could be quarterly earnings, could be up or it's going to split or whatever it may be or increase the dividend, but you are not looking to the asset itself." - Warren Buffet
