" Yes.

Do you want the numbers? Not that they would ever change your mind--the heart wants what the heart wants--but I'm happy to provide them.

Thanks Jim but to claim you can prove that nvda, msft, google, aapl, etc are all run by poor cap allocators and that their shareholders would have higher net worths today, if they never paid a div is insulting to those companies.

I admit I no longer waste time listening to calls, even brk.

Has anyone ever asked Buffett why those companies pay a small div what does he think?

Has anyone on the nvda,msft,googl, etc calls ever asked why they don't just payback stock and cancel the div?

Are there funds, institutions, high net worth investors who cannot or will not buy a non div paying stock?

Thank you for your attention to these issues. :) I don't need a paper written by a professor explaining that Americans pay taxes on div income, I know. googl, aapl, etc have been great holds despite that terrible div income, however, if you would like to start a gofundme for me, I would be very grateful. your pal, H in LV.
