回首一九二九,巴菲特说

我相当喜欢1929年,因为那是我的一切开始的时候
那时爸爸是个股票承销人。在那个秋天,崩盘发生后,
他不敢给任何人打电话 —— 所有那些破了产的人。
他只好每天下午都呆在家里。那时还没有电视。

于是……我就在1929年11月30日或者那两天左右被开始孕育。
所以我对大崩盘总有种温暖的感觉。
 
I'm quite fond of 1929, since that's when it all began for me. My dad was a stock salesman at the time, and after the Crash came, in the fall, he was afraid to call anyone--all those people who'd been burned. So he just stayed home in the afternoons. And there wasn't television then. Soooo... I was conceived on or about Nov. 30, 1929 (and born nine months later, on Aug. 30, 1930), and I've forever had a kind of warm feeling about the Crash.
