The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" 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.

Exactly. M.A.K.E Y.O.U.R O.W.N D.I.V

But it appears there’s some severe mental hang up with those attached to divided paying names. Take GE as the poster child of this. The fixation with receiving a dividend brought in blindness to the dividend paying ability. According to reports, GE was borrowing money to do this and share buybacks.

Buffett has alluded to this as the difficulty in stopping dividend once started.

Irrational behavior is rampant. Please keep Berkshire away from there. I’ll vote it down should it come up again.
