我在麦哲伦基金养成了一个习惯：每个月至少走访两三家我持有的公司，和一线员工聊天而不是坐在会议室听高管演讲。

I made it a habit to visit at least two or three companies I owned each month, talking to frontline employees rather than sitting in conference rooms listening to executives.

闲聊调研——和供应商、客户、前员工聊天——是获取投资真相最有效的方式。

The scuttlebutt method — talking to suppliers, customers, and former employees — is the most effective way to get the truth about an investment.

投资你了解的东西。如果你无法用一支蜡笔在一张纸上解释清楚这家公司如何赚钱，就不要买它的股票。

Invest in what you know. If you can't explain in one sentence what a company does, don't buy it.
