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.

IF brk declared a 1$$ a B share quarterly dividend to yield a bit below 1 percent brk would be a compelling alternative to the very high risk SPY, based on its current concentration and valuation.

I'd like to think my response will surprise you: you are probably right.

What would float my boat would be if the tax law changed so that those who reinvest dividends programatically could opt to accumulate the dividend payouts on their cost basis instead of paying current taxes on them.

Then both sides of the argument could have their dividend and tax deferral as well.

I'm all about the solutions baby. I have a million dollar idea AT LEAST once per week.
