Subject: Re: brk, increasing demand for the common
In regards to possible tax law changes I think you're definitely skating to where the puck is going. If the Democrats were to win the Presidency and take control of the House and Senate (they are already close to doing that) we should all be prepared for significant tax law changes to be passed. They could even increase the tax on companies buying back stock. In any case BRK initiating a small dividend would not even put a dent in the yearly cash flow. Has Warren ever turned down a dividend payment from a company that he owns stock in?
