Buffett has likened the benefits of derivative wagers to the perks of his insurance operations. Berkshire received a total of $4.2 billion in premiums upfront on the options that it has put to work for more than 10 years, just as the “float” generated by insurance premiums can be invested before any claims must be paid.
The derivative bets have created volatility in quarterly earnings, swings that Buffett said “neither cheer nor bother” him and his business partner, Charles Munger. Berkshire’s vice chairman, Munger defended the derivatives after a shareholder at the 2009 annual meeting questioned the deals.
“There’s some limit to the amount of those things we should do, but I think we stayed well short of the limit,” Munger said.作者: sec2100 時間: 2020-9-21 10:09
