Warren Buffett, the chairman and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway Opens a New Window. , may have lost billions during Apple』s sudden plunge on Wednesday, but don』t be surprised if he』s gearing up to buy more shares of the iPhone maker.

伯克希爾?哈撒韋公司的董事長兼首席執行官沃倫?巴菲特開啟了一扇新的窗口。在周三蘋果公司的突然暴跌中，該公司可能損失了數十億美元，但如果他準備增持這家iPhone製造商的股票，也不要感到意外。

In May, the billionaire investor told shareholders at the annual meeting in Omaha, Nebraska that he 「very much approved」 of Apple repurchasing shares.

今年5月，這位億萬富翁投資者在內布拉斯加州奧馬哈召開的年度股東大會上告訴股東們，他「非常贊成」蘋果回購股票。

「From our standpoint,」 he said, 「We would love to see Apple go down in price.」

他說：「從我們的立場來看，我們希望看到蘋果股價下跌。」

Buffett is the second-largest holder of Apple shares with a stake of 240 million shares, or about 5 percent, that was once worth about $56 billion. That leaves Vanguard as the only institutional investor with a larger ownership stake in Apple, according to Morningstar.

巴菲特是蘋果的第二大股東，持有2.4億股份，約佔5%，曾經價值560億美元。據晨星公司的數據顯示，這使得先鋒集團成為唯一一家持有蘋果更多股權的機構投資者。

But on Wednesday, after Apple CEO Tim Cook warned that quarterly revenue for the critical holiday season sales would be lower than originally expected, shares of the Cupertino-based company plummeted. Cook blamed the decline in sales largely on a nearly year-long trade war between the U.S. and China that』s rattled both countries』 economies.

但周三，在蘋果首席執行官蒂姆?庫克警告稱，關鍵假日銷售季度收入將低於最初預期後，這家總部位於庫比蒂諾的公司股價暴跌。庫克將銷售額下降的主要原因歸咎於中美之間長達近一年的貿易戰，這場戰爭擾亂了兩國的經濟。

The Oracle of Omaha previously touted the iPhone as 「maybe the greatest consumer product ever developed」 during a May interview with Liz Claman on FOX Business. He said at the time that one of Berkshire』s managers talked to him about investing more in Apple, but that he』d already developed his own perspective on the company.

這位「奧馬哈先知」曾在今年5月接受福克斯商業頻道利茲?克拉曼採訪時，吹噓iPhone「可能是有史以來最偉大的消費產品」。他當時表示，伯克希爾-哈撒韋公司的一位經理曾跟他談過加大對蘋果的投資，但他那時已經對蘋果形成了自己的看法。

「I』ve been familiar with the company,」 he said, noting that he knew Apple co-founder Steve Jobs. Buffett is known for his loyalty to the brands that he invests in, including his affinity for Coca-Cola and his confidence in Wells Fargo Opens a New Window. (which has been plagued by several scandals in the past year).

「我對蘋果很熟悉，」他說，並指出自己認識蘋果聯合創始人史蒂夫?喬布斯。巴菲特以對他所投資的品牌的忠誠而聞名，包括他對可口可樂的喜愛以及他對富國銀行的信心，這也為他打開了一個新的窗口。儘管在過去的一年裡，富國銀行受到了幾起醜聞的困擾。
