geico

Warren Buffett , probably the best investor in the history of man , follows a similar philosophy - sticking to U.S. businesses he understands like Coca-Cola and GEICO .

堪称史上最佳投资者的沃伦o巴菲特也遵循类似的投资哲学，即只投资自己看得懂的美国公司，比如可口可乐和美国政府雇员保险公司。

The housing prediction proved painful for Berkshire Hathaway . It owns more than 80 subsidiaries , including the Geico insurance company and See 's Candy , and five of them depend on construction activity .

巴菲特去年的楼市误判让伯克希尔-哈撒韦公司很受伤，该公司拥有超过80家子公司，其中包括政府雇员保险公司和喜诗糖果公司。旗下有五家公司主要经营建筑业务。

在Geico任职31年后，他于2010年底退休。

Would they have been a competitive species , or would we have lived alongside them like in the Geico commercials ?

他们会成为人类的竞争物种吗？或者我们会像盖寇广告里那样共同生存下去？

GEICO 's growth has generated an ever-larger amount of funds for investment that have an effective cost of considerably less than zero .

而如果这一成本显著低于其他来源的资金成本，这个保险业务够得上是一个非常有价值的资产。

Once again , Buffett reckoned that GEICO would thrive if its new management restored its low-cost , low-risk strategy .

巴菲特再次发现良机，他认为只要政府雇员保险公司的新管理层恢复低成本、低风险战略，它就能重现辉煌。

Nevertheless , our float was costless in2005 because of the superb results we had in our other insurance activities , particularly at GEICO .

尽管如此我们的浮存金仍然无需支付任何成本，这主要是由于我们其它保险业务尤其是GEICO的杰出经营所创造的超级成果。

I reasoned that GEICO policyholders were likely to be good credit risks and , assuming we offered an attractive card , would likely favor us with their business .

我推测GEICO的投保人极有可能拥有良好的信誉，假如我们发行了具有吸引力的信用卡，他们可能会更青睐我们的业务。

Thus , as well as insurers such as Geico , Berkshire owns railways , leasing companies , housebuilders , auto dealerships and many other solid , mundane , steady operations .

于是，除了Geico等保险商以外，伯克希尔还拥有铁路、租赁公司、建筑商、汽车经销商以及其它很多坚实、平凡、稳定的企业。

Mr Buffett has also heaped praise on Tony Nicely , the head of Geico for 18 years during which he has transformed the property and casualty insurance business into a powerhouse with almost a 10th of the US market .

巴菲特对托尼奈斯利（TonyNicely）也不吝溢美之词。在奈斯利掌管Geico公司的18年时间里，他把这家财产及意外险保险公司，转变成了占美国市场近10%份额的大型企业。
