华尔街日记:夏威夷来信
始发于华尔街的金融危机犹如一场大地震,其破坏力不仅殃及纽约,连远隔太平洋被人称为“天堂”的夏威夷也遭到波及。年过五旬的安妮塔是夏威夷大学艺术和人文学院的教授,在与记者最近的一次通信中,她谈起来这场危机给她个人以及夏威夷带来的影响。
“动荡的股市以及原油价格改变了夏威夷,也改变了夏威夷大学。与以往这个时候不同,大家都不再谈论什么时候去拉斯维加斯度假、夏威夷大学的橄榄球队表现如何,每个人更关心的是自己的退休金、退休计划以及个人的理财组合。因为随着股市的暴跌,大家的财富严重缩水,没有人知道市场会怎样,很多教职员工已经要求推迟退休的时间。”
安妮塔在信中告诉我,由于美国本土和日本的经济都呈现下滑势头,以旅游业为主的夏威夷的经济遭到了严重冲击,因为没人想在这个时候到夏威夷度假。由于游客太少以及信贷市场紧缩,夏威夷的两家航空公司相继宣布破产。从今年2月份开始,游轮公司将原来运营豪华海上旅游线路的轮船数量从3艘削减为1艘。
游客减少意味着旅馆的空房率高企,大量服务人员失业,政府税收减少,对于包括夏威夷大学在内各类教育机构的经费也被大量削减。夏威夷大学已经接到通知,在政府的财政支出中,学校经费可能被削减一到两成。
安妮塔还说,她和她丈夫比尔的生活并没有受到特别严重的影响,因为两人在股市里的投入并不是很多。比尔是一名商业飞行员,他在2006年12月年满60岁退休。他很遗憾没有赶上航空公司的新政策,2008年1月开始航空公司已经把飞行员的退休年龄推迟到了62岁。幸好,社会保障计划可以使比尔从62岁起就能获得固定的退休金。
不过,安妮塔告诉我,股市暴跌还是让她过去两三年投入退休金的资金全部付之东流。“如果早知道这样,我还不如把这些钱全部消费掉!”。
“幸运的是,我和比尔今年3月份把自己的投资组合进行了调整,我们的投资策略变得更为保守。从去年10月份以来,股市主要指数下跌了40%,我们投资组合的损失为15%,上帝保佑!在市场动荡的时候,我们听取了投资顾问的建议,在市场暴跌中保持了冷静。”
安妮塔在信末这样写道:“希望中国读者能够了解美国的情况,尤其是夏威夷的情况,希望他们有机会到夏威夷旅游。”
