股票大作手回憶錄原文第124段
原文(124):
Anyhow,I made up my mind that I would see what trading advantages of this firm offered over what you might call the legitimate brokers.I didn’t have much money to put up as margin,and firms that bucketed orders were naturally much more liberal in that respect,so that a few hundred dollars went much further in their offices.
I went down to their place and had a talk with the manager himself.When he found out that I was an old trader and had formerly had accounts in New York with Stock Exchange houses and that I had lost all I took with me he stopped promising to make a million a minute for me if I let them invest my savings.He figured that I was a permanent sucker,the ticker-hound kind that always plays and always loses;a steady-income provider for brokers,whether they were the kind that bucket your orders or modestly content themselves with the commissions.
I just told the manager that what I was looking for was decent execution,because I always traded at the market and I didn’t want to get reports that showed a difference of a half or a whole point from the ticker price.
其他版本譯文(124):
不管怎樣,我打定主意要去探訪這家對賭行,看他們到底有哪些比正規公司更誘人的條件。因為沒多少錢,這樣的公司又比較隨便些,我就可以用幾百美元去試水,一探究竟。
我來到這家公司后,找到了經理。他知道我是個老手,曾經在紐約交易所會員公司開過戶,而且把帶去的錢全部虧光之后,就理所當然覺得我是個只會賠本的頑固分子,是經紀商穩定的衣食父母——不管他們是在你單子上作假的經紀商,還是樂于只賺手續費的經紀商。
我對這個經理說,我想找的是執行力最強的公司,我一直在市場中玩,不想看到那種比實際股價滯后1個點的情形。
我的譯文(124):
不管怎樣,我得看看這家公司,相對于合法券商,是否更利于我交易。我拿不出多少錢做保證金,一般來說,這種接受對賭訂單的機構,對于資金方面是十分寬松的,如果是這樣,我拿出個幾百美元,在他們那里就能折騰好長時間了。
我去他們那里直接找到經理,當他知道我在紐約證券交易所的會員機構有過戶頭,并且輸光了全部身家,他明白我是個老股民了,所以不再對我吹噓可以讓我一夜暴富的神話了。
他把我當成了那種不信邪的賭徒,盯著行情追漲殺跌,仿佛能夠從中聞到獵物的氣息,屢戰屢敗,還不信邪,屢敗屢戰。
像他們這樣的對賭機構,還有那些謹小慎微只靠傭金生存的經紀商,都喜歡這樣的賭徒,因為他們是這些機構穩定的經濟來源。
于是我就對他說,我對訂單的執行效率有要求,因為我就是那種盯著市場行情,追漲殺跌的人,所以我的要求是:我成交報告上的價格,與行情紙帶上的價格,不能有半個點或一個點的差距。
我的評注(124):
同樣是盯著行情追漲殺跌,利弗莫爾顯然不認為自己是那種不信邪的賭徒,所以對于經理的蔑視,非但不生氣,反而將計就計,提出了自己的要求。
自信與不信邪,這兩者之間的區別是什么呢?
