"Microsoft's outperformed just about every other asset I could have owned," he stated, adding, "It's a little hard to say that it hasn't worked out."Steve Ballmer, the former Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) CEO has placed more than 80% of his investment portfolio in one stock, and his approach has paid off handsomely.
史蒂夫·巴爾默，前微軟-T (納斯達克: MSFT) 首席執行官已將超過80%的投資組合投入到一隻股票中，他的做法獲得了豐厚的回報。
What Happened: In a Q&A with The Wall Street Journal that was published on Sunday, Ballmer shared that over 80% of his holdings are tied to his former company, Microsoft, with the remainder invested in stock index funds.
發生了什麼：在《華爾街日報》週日發佈的問答中，巴爾默表示超過80%的持股與他以前的公司微軟有關，其餘則投資於股票指數基金。
He attributes his financial success to Microsoft's strong performance, particularly after the AI boom sparked by Microsoft-backed OpenAI's ChatGPT in November 2022.
他將自己的財務成功歸功於微軟的強勁表現，特別是在2022年11月由微軟支持的OpenAI的ChatGPT引發的人工智能熱潮之後。
"Microsoft's outperformed just about every other asset I could have owned," he stated, adding, "It's a little hard to say that it hasn't worked out."
他表示：「微軟的表現超過我所能擁有的幾乎每一個其他資產。」並補充道，「這有點難以說它沒有成功。」
Ballmer holds a 4.5% stake in Microsoft. Since 2020 till now, Microsoft has returned an average of 28.37% annually, significantly outperforming the S&P 500's average return of around 11.08%.
巴爾默持有微軟4.5%的股份。從2020年到現在，微軟的年平均回報率爲28.37%，顯著超過了標普500指數大約11.08%的平均回報。
When Ballmer was asked if his strategy applies to everyday investors, he said, "I'd suggest keeping it simple—unless you're truly committed to becoming an expert."
當巴爾默被問及他的策略是否適用於普通投資者時，他說：「我建議保持簡單——除非你真的致力於成爲一個專家。」
