The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

“ Same way many retirees don't like RMDs.

Taxable income we don't want and paying taxes we would rather not pay, at a time and an amount chosen by others.“ I feel very lucky and blessed to have to pay the tax on my rmds at 75 years old. Some of us are anal about tax avoidance, others might understand I’d rather have increased demand for my common and pay the tax on my small dividend. I still have no idea why the “ rubes “ at Apple, MSFT, google, ko, khc, oxy, etc pay a div or why Buffett refused to buyback brkb in 2007 and beyond near bv, and bought div paying stocks instead?
