????《財(cái)富》（Fortune）雜志最早于1966年開始和沃倫?巴菲特打交道。當(dāng)時(shí)筆者正在寫一篇關(guān)于阿爾弗雷德?溫斯洛?瓊斯的投資文章,。那時(shí)瓊斯還沒什么名氣,，但即將由于這篇文章而名滿天下。瓊斯正在經(jīng)營被稱為“對沖基金”的業(yè)務(wù),，《財(cái)富》雜志對這一業(yè)務(wù)以及瓊斯如何經(jīng)營這項(xiàng)業(yè)務(wù)的描述揭開了對沖基金業(yè)的一個(gè)小繁榮期,。這篇文章中有一句話提到了巴菲特的公司Buffett Partnership Ltd.,，差不多是瓊斯基金的競爭對手。讓我慚愧至今的是,，我把巴菲特（Buffett）的名字拼錯(cuò)了,，少了一個(gè)“t”,。

????隨后不久，我的丈夫約翰?盧米斯見到了巴菲特,，回到家里說：“我覺得,，我遇到了全美國最聰明的投資人?！蔽铱隙?，當(dāng)時(shí)我是不屑一顧的,。 后來,，我自己也認(rèn)識了巴菲特（以及他已逝的第一任妻子蘇茜，一個(gè)極好的人）,，意識到這個(gè)當(dāng)時(shí)基本上默默無聞的家伙是多么了不起,。盧米斯家族買了巴菲特那家小公司伯克希爾－哈撒韋公司（Berkshire Hathaway ）的股票,；我們也成為了巴菲特一家的好友；后來,，我還成為了他名聲大噪的年度致股東公開信的無償編輯,。

????與此同時(shí)，《財(cái)富》雜志也開始長期報(bào)道巴菲特,。1970年，《財(cái)富》雜志一篇《對沖基金遭遇艱難歲月》（Hard Times Come to the Hedge Funds）的報(bào)道中,，巴菲特有了兩段話和一張照片——他的基金是個(gè)特例,，連續(xù)13年盈利——到了1977年，我們刊登了巴菲特撰寫的一篇7,000字的文章《通脹如何騙取股票投資者錢財(cái)》（How Inflation Swindles the Equity Investor）,。

????如今，在《財(cái)富》雜志首次邂逅巴菲特46年后,，我們搜羅了這些年來撰寫的所有有關(guān)巴菲特的重要文章（以及一些不那么重要的文章）,，加上我的點(diǎn)評，出了一本書《跳著踢踏舞去上班》（Tap Dancing to Work）,。上面提到的所有文章，從寫阿爾弗雷德?溫斯洛?瓊斯的那篇投資文章開始,，全部都收錄在內(nèi)——而這僅僅是個(gè)開始,。總而言之,，這本書是一場巴菲特報(bào)道盛宴。

????書后附上了在巴菲特逐步成長為一位偉大的投資人/管理者/慈善家的過程中,，這些報(bào)道的一些精彩摘錄和記錄下那些時(shí)刻的精選照片,。可以確定的一件事是：我們非常高興能夠參與其中,。

????尾聲：1966年,，當(dāng)《財(cái)富》雜志首次邂逅沃倫?巴菲特時(shí),，伯克希爾（如今的A類股）股價(jià)為22美元,。今年11月初，該股股價(jià)約為130,000美元,。

????Fortune met Warren Buffett by accident in 1966. I was writing an investing article about another man, Alfred Winslow Jones, who wasn't famous at that moment, but was about to be because of the article. Jones was running something called a hedge fund, and Fortune's description of what that was and how Jones operated started a miniboom in the hedge fund business. Buffett Partnership Ltd. -- a sort of competitor of Jones's fund -- got a single line in the article. To my everlasting dismay, I misspelled Buffett, giving it only one "t."

????A bit later, my husband, John Loomis, met Buffett and came home saying, "I think I have just met the smartest investor in the country." I'm sure my eyes rolled. But then I, too, got to know Warren (and his wonderful late first wife, Susie) and realized how impressive this largely unknown fellow was. The Loomises bought stock in his small company, Berkshire Hathaway (BRKA); we became good friends of the Buffetts; and ultimately I became the pro bono editor of his increasingly famous annual letter to shareholders.

????Meanwhile, Fortune set off on a long-term course of covering Buffett. He got two paragraphs and a picture in a 1970 Fortune story called "Hard Times Come to the Hedge Funds" -- his fund was a rarity, having 13 straight years of profits -- and by 1977 we were running a 7,000-word piece by Buffett on "How Inflation Swindles the Equity Investor."

????Now, 46 years after Fortune first met the man, we have a book, Tap Dancing to Work, that collects everything important we've done about him (and some lighter stuff too), with commentary written by me. All the articles mentioned above, from the A.W. Jones story on, are in it -- and that's just the start. In total, the book is a Buffett banquet.

????What follows are some choice quotes from its pages and a selection of photographs that mark the passing of time, as Buffett grew into an investor/manager/philanthropist whose place in history is assured. One thing is certain: We are awfully glad to have been there as it happened.

????A coda: In 1966, when Fortune first met Warren Buffett, Berkshire's stock (today's Class A) was $22. In early November, it was about $130,000.

20世紀(jì)70年代

????這一年他正在著手關(guān)閉他的對沖基金,。

????1970年1月：《對沖基金遭遇艱難歲月》

????“巴菲特的投資記錄極其出色。在投資經(jīng)營的13年里……他給投資者帶來了24%的復(fù)合年均回報(bào)率……（如今）巴菲特正在退出對沖基金業(yè),?！?/p>

????1977年5月：《通脹如何騙取股票投資者錢財(cái)》

????“大多數(shù)政府官員都堅(jiān)決反對通脹，同時(shí)卻又堅(jiān)定支持產(chǎn)生通脹的政策,，這一點(diǎn)完全可以理解，”巴菲特寫道,。
