Management’s Discussion and Analysis

Market Environment

During the year ended December 31, 2006, the stock market, as measured by the Standard & Poor’s 500^® Index¹, increased by 15.79%. U.S. economic activity, as measured by the gross domestic product (“GDP”), increased between 2.0% and 5.6% over the four calendar quarters of 2006. Interest rates, as measured by the 10-year Treasury bond, began 2006 a little above 4.4%, peaked in June at about 5.1%, and ended the year just below 4.6%.

Selected American Shares

Performance Overview

Selected American Shares’ Class S shares returned 15.19% for the year ended December 31, 2006², compared to its benchmark, the Standard & Poor’s 500^® Index¹, which returned 15.79%. The Fund’s Class D shares returned 15.59% over the same period.

The Fund’s largest investments were in diversified financial companies, and they were also the most important contributors³ to the Fund’s performance over the year. The Fund benefited from its substantial investment in this sector, which out-performed the S&P 500^® Index. JPMorgan Chase⁴, Julius Baer, and American Express were among the top contributors to performance.

Consumer discretionary and consumer staple companies also made important contributions to performance. The Fund benefited from careful stock selection in the consumer discretionary sector as the Fund’s companies included in this sector out-performed the Index. Two consumer discretionary companies, Comcast and Harley-Davidson, and one consumer staples company, Altria, were among the top contributors to performance. Two consumer discretionary companies, Apollo Group and H&R Block, and one consumer staples company, Hershey, were among the top detractors from performance.

The Fund also has a large investment in insurance companies. While insurance companies made a positive contribution to performance, they under-performed the Index. Berkshire Hathaway and Loews were among the top contributors to performance. Progressive, Transatlantic Holdings, and Marsh & McLennan were among the top detractors from performance. The Fund no longer owns Marsh & McLennan.

The Fund’s investments in telecommunication service and energy companies also contributed to the Fund under-performing the Index over the year. Telecommunication service companies were the strongest performing sector of the Index, but the telecommunication service companies owned by the Fund did not perform as well. While energy companies made positive contributions to the Fund’s performance, they under-performed the Index. One energy company, ConocoPhillips, was among the top contributors to performance. Sprint Nextel, a telecommunication services company, and EOG Resources, an energy company, were among the top detractors from performance.

Another individual company making important contributions to performance included Golden West Financial, a banking company. Other individual companies detracting from performance included Cardinal Health, a health care company, and Dell, an information technology company. Golden West Financial was acquired by Wachovia in October 2006.

The Fund had approximately 10% of its assets invested in foreign companies at December 31, 2006. As a group, the foreign companies owned by the Fund out-performed the S&P 500^® Index over the year.

Selected Special Shares

Performance Overview

Selected Special Shares’ Class S shares returned 17.74% for the year ended December 31, 2006², compared to its benchmark, the Russell 3000^® Index¹, which returned 15.72%. In early 2006, the Board of Directors approved a change in benchmarks from the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Index¹, which returned 15.88%. Experience has demonstrated that Selected Special Shares does not often invest in companies with small market capitalizations. Thus, the Board determined that the Russell 3000^® Index more closely approximates the companies which the Fund invests in. The Fund’s Class D shares returned 18.19% over the same period.

Consumer discretionary companies were the most important contributors³ to performance and the Fund had more invested in consumer discretionary companies than in any other single sector. The Fund benefited from its substantial investment in this sector, as the consumer discretionary companies included in the Russell 3000^® Index out-performed the overall Russell 3000^® Index. Garmin⁴, Hunter Douglas, Harley-Davidson, and DIRECTV were among the top contributors to performance. Advance Auto Parts, Apollo Group, Lear, Blount International, and Mohawk Industries were among the top detractors from performance. The Fund no longer owns Lear and DIRECTV.

Diversified financial and insurance companies also made important contributions to performance. The Fund holds significant investments in these companies and the diversified financial sector out-performed the Russell 3000^® Index while the insurance sector under-performed the Russell 3000^®Index. Two diversified financial companies, First Marblehead and Pargesa, and one insurance company, Markel, were among the top contributors to performance. One insurance company, Brown & Brown, was among the top detractors from performance. The Fund no longer owns First Marblehead.

The Fund also has significant holdings in information technology companies and overall this sector under-performed the Russell 3000^® Index. Microsoft was among the top contributors while Convera and Texas Instruments were among the top detractors from performance.

Other individual companies making important contributions to performance included Level 3 Communications, a telecommunication services company, and Zimmer Holdings, a health care company. Another individual company detracting from performance included Sprint Nextel, a telecommunication services company.

The Fund had approximately 19% of its assets invested in foreign companies at December 31, 2006. As a group, the foreign companies owned by the Fund out-performed the Russell 3000^® Index over the year.

*Expenses are equal to the Class’s annualized expense ratio (1.18%), multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 184/365 (to reflect the one-half year period). See Notes to Performance on page 17 for a description of the “Expense Example”.

$10,000 invested over ten years. Let’s say you invested $10,000 in Selected Special Shares, Class S on December 31, 1996. As the chart shows, by December 31, 2006, the value of your investment would have grown to $25,878 - a 158.78% increase on your initial investment. For comparison, the Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Stock Index and the Russell 3000^® Stock Index are also presented on the chart below.

The Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 Stock Index measures the performance of all U.S. headquartered equity securities with readily available price data. Over 5,000 capitalization weighted security returns are used to adjust the Index. The Dow Jones Wilshire 5000 is a broad measure of the entire U.S. stock market.

The Russell 3000^® Stock Index measures the performance of the 3,000 largest companies based on total market capitalization, which represents approximately 98% of the investable U.S. equity market.

The performance data for Selected Special Shares, contained in this report, represents past performance and assumes that all distributions were reinvested, and should not be considered as an indication of future performance from an investment in the Fund today. The investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that shares may be worth more or less than their original cost when redeemed. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares.

NOTES TO PERFORMANCE

The following disclosure provides important information regarding the Funds’ Expense Example, which appears in each Class’s Fund Performance section in this Annual Report. Please refer to this information when reviewing the Expense Example for each Class.

Example

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs only, including advisory and administrative fees, distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees, and other Fund expenses. The Expense Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds. The Expense Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period indicated, which for each class is from 07/01/06 to 12/31/06. Please note that the Expense Example is general and does not reflect certain account specific costs, which may increase your total costs of investing in the Fund. If these account specific costs were included in the Expense Example, the expenses would have been higher.

Actual Expenses

The information represented in the row entitled “Actual” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this row, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number under the heading “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid for on your account during this period.

Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes

The information represented in the row entitled “Hypothetical” provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the information in the row entitled “Hypothetical” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

December 31, 2006

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Selected Funds (“Funds”) consist of Selected American Shares, Inc. (a Maryland corporation) (“Selected American Shares”), Selected Special Shares, Inc. (a Maryland corporation) (“Selected Special Shares”), and the Selected Capital Preservation Trust (a Ohio corporation) (“Trust”). The Trust consists of the Selected Daily Government Fund. The Funds and Trust are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as diversified, open-end management investment companies. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in the preparation of financial statements.

Selected American Shares and Selected Special Shares are diversified, professionally managed stock-oriented funds.

Selected Daily Government Fund seeks to provide a high level of current income from short-term money market securities consistent with prudent investment management, preservation of capital and maintenance of liquidity. It invests in U.S. Government Securities and repurchase agreements in respect thereto.

An investment in any of the Funds, as with any mutual fund, includes risks that vary depending upon the fund's investment objectives and policies. There is no assurance that the investment objective of any fund will be achieved. A fund's return and net asset value will fluctuate, although Selected Daily Government Fund seeks to maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share.

The Class S and Class D shares are sold at net asset value. Income, expenses (other than those attributable to a specific class) and gains and losses are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets represented by each class. Operating expenses directly attributable to a specific class are charged against the operations of that class. All classes have identical rights with respect to voting (exclusive of each Class’ distribution arrangement), liquidation and distributions.

A. VALUATION OF SECURITIES - The Funds calculate the net asset value of their shares as of the close of the New York Stock Exchange (“Exchange”), normally 4:00 P.M. Eastern time, on each day the Exchange is open for business. Securities listed on the Exchange (and other national exchanges) are valued at the last reported sales price on the day of valuation. Securities traded in the over-the-counter market (e.g. NASDAQ) and listed securities for which no sale was reported on that date are stated at the last quoted bid price. Securities traded on foreign exchanges are valued based upon the last sales price on the principal exchange on which the security is traded prior to the time when the Funds’ assets are valued. Securities (including restricted securities) for which market quotations are not readily available are valued at their fair value. Foreign and domestic securities whose values have been materially affected by what the Adviser identifies as a significant event occurring before the Funds’ assets are valued but after the close of their respective exchanges will be fair valued. Fair value is determined in good faith using consistently applied procedures under the supervision of the Board of Directors/Trustees. Short-term securities purchased within 60 days to maturity are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. For Selected Daily Government Fund, in compliance with Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act, securities are valued at amortized cost, which approximates market value. These valuation procedures are reviewed and subject to approval by the Board of Directors/Trustees.

B. MASTER REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS - The Funds, along with other affiliated funds, may transfer uninvested cash balances into one or more master repurchase agreement accounts. These balances are invested in one or more repurchase agreements, secured by U.S. Government securities. A custodian bank holds securities pledged as collateral for repurchase agreements until the agreements mature. Each agreement requires that the market value of the collateral be sufficient to cover payments of interest and principal; however, in the event of default by the other party to the agreement, retention of the collateral may be subject to legal proceedings.

December 31, 2006

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (Continued)

C. CURRENCY TRANSLATION - The market values of all assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recorded in the financial statements after translation to the U.S. Dollar based upon the mean between the bid and offered quotations of the currencies against U.S. Dollars on the date of valuation. The cost basis of such assets and liabilities is determined based upon historical exchange rates. Income and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect as accrued or incurred.

D. FOREIGN CURRENCY - The Funds may enter into forward purchases or sales of foreign currencies to hedge certain foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities against declines in market value relative to the U.S. Dollar. Forward currency contracts are marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Funds as an unrealized gain or loss. When the forward currency contract is closed, the Funds record a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the forward currency contract at the time it was opened and value at the time it was closed. Investments in forward currency contracts may expose the Funds to risks resulting from unanticipated movements in foreign currency exchange rates or failure of the counter-party to the agreement to perform in accordance with the terms of the contract.

Reported net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from the sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded on the Funds’ books, and the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the amounts actually received or paid. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities at fiscal year end, resulting from changes in the exchange rate. The Funds include foreign currency gains and losses realized on the sale of investments together with market gains and losses on such investments in the statement of operations.

E. FEDERAL INCOME TAXES - It is each Fund's policy to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute substantially all of its taxable income, including any net realized gains on investments not offset by loss carryovers, to shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income or excise tax is required. At December 31, 2006, Selected American Shares had available for federal income tax purposes unused capital loss carryforwards as follows:

December 31, 2006

NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES – (Continued)

F. USE OF ESTIMATES IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - In preparing financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

G. INDEMNIFICATION - Under the Funds’ organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. In addition, some of the Funds’ contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. The Funds’ maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against the Funds cannot be determined and the Funds have no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.

H. SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS AND RELATED INVESTMENT INCOME - Securities transactions are accounted for on the trade date (date the order to buy or sell is executed) with realized gain or loss on the sale of securities being determined based upon identified cost. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Dividend income from REIT securities may include returns of capital. Upon notification from the issuer, the amount of the return of capital is reclassified to adjust dividend income, reduce the cost basis, and/or adjust realized gain. Interest income, which includes accretion of discount and amortization of premium, is accrued as earned.

I. DIRECTORS/TRUSTEES FEES AND EXPENSES - The Funds set up a Rabbi Trust to provide for the deferred compensation plan for independent Directors/Trustees that enables them to elect to defer receipt of all or a portion of annual fees they are entitled to receive. The value of an eligible Director’s/Trustee’s account is based upon years of service and fees paid to each Director/Trustee during the years of service. The amount paid to the Director/Trustee under the plan will be determined based upon the performance of the Selected Funds.

J. DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS - Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Net investment income (loss), net realized gains (losses), and net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments may differ for financial statement and tax purposes primarily due to differing treatments of wash sales, foreign currency transactions, passive foreign investment company shares, distributions from real estate investment trusts, and distributions in connection with redemption of Fund shares. The character of dividends and distributions made during the fiscal year from net investment income and net realized securities gains may differ from their ultimate characterization for Federal Income Tax purposes. Also, due to the timing of dividends and distributions, the fiscal year in which amounts are distributed may differ from the fiscal year in which income or realized gain was recorded by the Funds. The Funds adjust the classification of distributions to shareholders to reflect the differences between financial statement amounts and distributions determined in accordance with income tax regulations. Accordingly, during the year ended December 31, 2006, for Selected American Shares, amounts have been reclassified to reflect an increase in overdistributed net investment income of $142,633 and a corresponding decrease in accumulated net realized loss; for Selected Special Shares, amounts have been reclassified to reflect a decrease in overdistributed net investment income of $1,966,141 and a corresponding decrease in accumulated net realized gain.

Total	$	4,067,956,613		$	41,693,939

K. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT - In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Interpretation 48 (“FIN 48”), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes. This standard defines the threshold for recognizing the benefits of tax-return positions in the financial statements as “more-likely-than-not” to be sustained by the taxing authority and requires measurement of a tax position meeting the more-likely-than-not criterion, based on the largest benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized. FIN 48 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2006. The Funds are required to record any change in NAV related to the implementation of FIN 48 no later than the last business day of the semi-annual reporting period, and the effects of FIN 48 would be reflected in the Funds’ Semi-Annual Report. The Funds do not believe the impact from adopting FIN 48 will materially impact the financial statement amounts.

In September 2006, FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157, Fair Value Measurements. This standard establishes a single authoritative definition of fair value, sets out a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 applies to fair value measurements already required or permitted by existing standards. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal periods. As of December 31, 2006, the Manager does not believe the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will materially impact the financial statement amounts; however, additional disclosures may be required about the inputs used to develop the measurements and the effect of certain measurements on changes in net assets for the period.

NOTE 6 - EXPENSES PAID INDIRECTLY

Under an agreement with the custodian bank, each Fund’s custodian fees are reduced for earnings on cash balances maintained at the custodian by the Funds.

NOTE 7 - SECURITIES LOANED

Selected American Shares (the “Fund”) has entered into a securities lending arrangement with UBS Securities LLC. Under the terms of the agreement, the Fund receives fee income from lending transactions; in exchange for such fees, UBS Securities LLC is authorized to loan securities on behalf of the Fund, against receipt of collateral at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. As of December 31, 2006, the Fund did not have any securities on loan. The Fund bears the risk of any deficiency in the amount of the collateral available for return to a borrower due to a loss in an approved investment.

NOTE 8 - OPTION ACTIVITY

Each Fund may purchase or sell options (including “put options”) to pursue its investment objective or for hedging purposes. When selling a put option, the purchaser receives the right to sell, and the writer (the Fund) the obligation to buy, the underlying investment at the exercise price during the option period.

When writing a put option on a security, to secure its obligation to pay for the underlying security, each Fund will deposit, in escrow, liquid assets with a value equal to or greater than the exercise price of the underlying securities. Each Fund therefore foregoes the opportunity of investing the segregated assets. The premium each Fund receives from writing a put option represents a profit, as long as the price of the underlying investment remains equal to or above the exercise price of the put. However, each Fund also assumes the obligation, during the option period, to buy the underlying investment from the buyer of the put at the exercise price, even if the value of the investment falls below the exercise price. See the Statement of Additional Information for more information concerning the Funds’ use of options.

Options are valued daily based upon the Funds’ valuation procedures (Note 1) and unrealized appreciation or depreciation is recorded. The Funds will realize a gain or loss upon the expiration or closing of the option transaction. Put options written are reported as a liability in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Realized and unrealized gains and losses are reported in the Statements of Operations.

There was no written put option activity for the year ended December 31, 2006.

NOTE 9 - BANK BORROWINGS

Each Fund may borrow up to 5% of its assets from a bank to purchase portfolio securities, or for temporary and emergency purposes. The purchase of securities with borrowed funds creates leverage in the Fund. Each Fund has entered into an agreement, which enables it to participate with certain other funds managed by the Adviser in an unsecured line of credit with a bank, which permits borrowings up to $50 million, collectively. Interest is charged based on its borrowings, at a rate equal to the overnight Federal Funds Rate plus 0.75%. The Funds had no borrowings outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2006.

NOTE 10 - LITIGATION MATTERS

On June 2, 2004, a proposed class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of investors in certain mutual funds (“Funds”) managed by Davis Selected Advisers L.P. (“Davis Advisors”) including the Selected Funds. The plaintiffs claim that Davis Advisors and its affiliates, and the individual directors of the Funds (collectively the “Defendants”) used Fund assets to pay brokers to market the Funds and that the Defendants disguised such payments as brokerage commissions and further failed to disclose such payments in public filings or elsewhere. The lawsuit seeks damages of unspecified amounts. Three substantially identical proposed class action lawsuits were filed against the Defendants later in June and July 2004 in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. All four suits were consolidated into a single action. In October 2005, the District Court issued an order dismissing the consolidated amended class action complaint. The plaintiffs subsequently sought a motion for reconsideration, which was denied in November 2005. In December 2005, the plaintiffs filed an appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. The Appeal was withdrawn in March 2006.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors/Trustees

of Selected American Shares, Inc., Selected Special Shares, Inc., and Selected Capital Preservation Trust:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Selected American Shares, Inc., Selected Special Shares, Inc., and Selected Daily Government Fund (a series of Selected Capital Preservation Trust), including the schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2006, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2006, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Selected American Shares, Inc., Selected Special Shares, Inc., and Selected Daily Government Fund as of December 31, 2006, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

(b)

Audit-Related Fees. The aggregate Audit-Related Fees billed by KPMG for services rendered for assurance and related services that are not reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of the fund financial statements, but not reported as Audit Fees fore fiscal year ends December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005 were $0 and $0, respectively.

Prior to the commencement of any audit or non-audit services to a fund, the Audit Committee reviews the services to determine whether they are appropriate and permissible under applicable law.

The Fund’s Audit Committee has adopted a policy whereby audit and non-audit services performed by the fund independent accountant require pre-approval in advance at regularly scheduled Audit Committee meetings.

(h)

The registrant’s audit committee of the board of trustees has considered whether the provision of non-audit services that were rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant that not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
