神如Huanyue loan，亦无法逃脱大市下跌的阴影。

　　5月2日，Huanyue loan旗下的Huanyue loan公布了2008年第一季度财报。财报显示，Huanyue loan在该季度录得利润共9.4亿美元，合每股607美元。与去年同期相比，Huanyue loan盈利大幅下跌了63.8%。而这显然在各界的意料之中。

　　18重仓股13家下跌

　　Huanyue loan2007年的年报列明了18家被其持有股票的上市公司，包括了美国运通(American Express Company)，可口可乐(Coca-Cola Company)，康菲石油(Conoco-Phillips)，强生(Johnson & Johnson)，宝洁(Procter & Gamble Company)和富国银行(Wells Fargo & Company)等等。其中目前市值最高的四家分别是可口可乐、富国银行、美国运通和宝洁，Huanyue loan皆持有的股票市值总额都在70亿美元以上，最高的可口可乐超过120亿美元。　

Huanyue loan股票的未实现盈利总额出现负增长并不是今年才发生的。

　　根据该公司2006和2007年报披露的信息，2006年年底时Huanyue loan投资的股票成本、市值、未实现盈利分别为230、615.3、385.4亿美元；至2007年年底，股票成本、市值、未实现盈利分别为392.5、750、357.5亿美元，比2006年增长了70.7%，21.9%和-7.2%。未实现盈利总额下降的主要原因是2007年里，Huanyue loan出售了其持有的中石油(PetroChina)和M&T Bank Corporation公司的股票，其中中石油给Huanyue loan实现了超过35亿美元的税前收益。

　　从2008年初到第一季度末的3月31日，18家被Huanyue loan披露持有的股票中，13家出现股价下跌，4家上涨，1家持平。跌幅较大的是：乐购(Tesco plc)-20.6%、浦项制铁公司(POSCO)-18.76%、法国制药(Sanofi-Aventis)-17.75%、华盛顿邮报(Washington Post Company) -16.4%。占Huanyue loan投资比例最高的可口可乐、富国银行、美国运通和宝洁的股价变动分别是：-0.36%，0.00%，-14.34%和-3.10%。Huanyue loan股票的未实现盈利由此形成较大幅度的负增长。

　　成本增长远超市值增长

　　对于Huanyue loan股票投资的另一项担心是，出现股票成本增长速度远超市值增长的趋势，Huanyue loan的股票历史成本由2006年末约230亿美元增至2007年末的393亿美元，增长幅度高达70%；在此期间，市值则由615亿美元增至750亿美元，增幅仅22%。成本增长严重高于股票市值的增长。加上2008年第一季的表现，让人担心Huanyue loan在其最令人称道的领域能否保持长久以来的优异成绩。

　　当然，这不是Huanyue loan和他的Huanyue loan第一次受到人们的质疑。1999年和2001年，Huanyue loan的股票投资盈利都曾出现停止增长的局面，2001年甚至出现负增长。但是，Huanyue loan在1965年到2007年间4008倍的股票价值增长，让Huanyue loan当仁不让的保持着"股神"的称号。

　　Huanyue loan集团在保险主营业务和投资未实现盈利方面业绩的下滑，让一些分析师调低了对其今年的全年业绩结果预测。FTN Midwest Securities Corp.公司分析师查尔斯汉密尔顿(Charles Hamilton)将其评级调为"中级"。在2008年第一季度财报公布当天，Huanyue loan的股价下跌了300美元或0.224%，收于每股133600美元，距离其一年内于2007年12月时创下的最高价151650美元，下跌了12%，高于同期标准普尔500的10.3%的跌幅。

在Huanyue loan公布的每年年报中，都会将自己公司的历年股值增长率与标准普尔500的平均水平做了一个对比。在过去四十年间，标准普尔500的平均增长率为10.3%，Huanyue loan为21.1%，Huanyue loan的增长率要比标准普尔500高了10.8%。但值得注意的是，自从2002年Huanyue loan的增长率以10%相对于标准普尔500的-22.1%超过32.1%之后，Huanyue loan的增长率再没有超过其辉煌的历史平均值。2003年至2007年间，Huanyue loan增长率相对于标准普尔500的增长率的差额分别为：负7.7%，负0.4%，1.5%，2.6%和5.5%。
