第1749期:巴菲特的早餐



再过一个星期(Aug 30),巴菲特就93岁了。他几十年如一日地吃汉堡喝可乐(据说每天喝至少三罐可口可乐),If you tell me Coke is junk food, well, ok, so be it.  
巴菲特的车上有三个杯子,他老婆在里面分别放了$2,61, $2.95, $3.17零钱。这就是他每天的早点钱。

巴菲特开车出门,到家附近的一个麦当劳drive-through窗口,买早餐。如果他当天感觉不在状态,就买$2.61的套餐。如果当天市场行情不太好,他就买$2.95的套餐。看起来最贵的$3.17套餐是要等到市场看涨的早晨才会打牙祭的。

"I
tell my wife, as I shave in the morning, I say, 'Either $2.61, $2.95 or
$3.17.' And she puts that amount in the little cup by me here [in the
car]," he said on camera. "When I’m not feeling quite so prosperous, I
might go with the $2.61, which is two sausage patties, and then I put
them together and pour myself a Coke. $3.17 is a bacon, egg and cheese
biscuit, but the market’s down this morning, so I’ll pass up the $3.17
and go with the $2.95.” - HBO documentary “Becoming Warren Buffett”
昨天早上我在火车站候车厅的麦当劳门前忽然想起了巴菲特的早餐,默默地算了算,$3.17在上海连一个猪柳蛋麦满分早餐基础款套餐都买不到。(*按照2023年8月22日外汇牌价,¥1=$0.1373,麦当劳猪柳蛋麦满分套餐售价¥24,合$3.2952.)
