" 1% dividend is not "nominal"
$0.50 dividend on a $2000 stock (the price in 1985) is insignificantly small.

$0.50 on today's BRK-B is 0.11%. That is still insignificantly small."

Not much changes in brkville. I NEVER suggested a 1 % div 40 years ago. After the 2006 donation letter I suggested moves that could be made to help adsorb the billions of dollars of net selling by the foundations, for decades. No reasonable person would deny that the 50/1 split provided the liquidity required to be eligible to be added to several indexes. This isn't really debatable or complicated.
