Bus/Financial - Investment / Securities / Eddie Lampert
English term or phrase: do okay
How Eddie Lampert picks his stocks
In its 18-year history, his hedge fund has averaged nearly 30 percent returns. What makes Lampert so good?
Like Warren Buffett, Eddie Lampert calls himself a "value investor," meaning he buys into companies whose assets he calculates are worth more than the current trading price.
"The idea is that I'm going to pay this price and great things may happen, but they don't have to happen for me to do okay," he says.
兰伯特如何挑选股票？
兰伯特旗下的对冲基金在成立18年来平均回报率近30%。兰伯特取得如此不菲的成绩到底有何秘诀？
就像沃伦•巴菲特一样，埃迪•兰伯特称自己是“价值投资者”，也就是说，他估算自己买进股票的公司拥有的资产其价值高于当前的交易价。
他说：“思路就是，我会支付这个价钱，可能会出现好的事情，但不是一定要发生这种事情我才会投资（？？？）。”

... 決定投資 (付这个价格)


Explanation:
... 決定投資 (付这个价格)

我想 do okay 是蠻口語化的說法。

"... 我會付這個價錢並可能出現很棒的事情，但這些很棒的事情不必因為我決定投資而發生。"

換言之，他評估一家公司擁有的資産價值若高於當前的交易價，便有可能獲取高報酬率，所以值得投資，而且該公司並不需要因為他的投資才能成長獲利。
