RW, good morning, I know the div issue is something you have given much thought to the past 20 years. For old times' sake, give some thought to sharing your current thoughts on the small div debate right here. You can ignore all the ignorant responses regardless of your opinion. Now that so many great tech companies offer a very small div yield, Imo, to help increase demand from institutions that will only buy div paying stocks, do you think a small div in 2008 would have increased demand for brkb over and above the tax consequences for partners in a taxable account? Should brkb declare a div by year end? We both know the consequences of questioning Buffet on these boards, lol, so if you prefer to answer privately, I hear ya. Thanks, and be well. hc
