For 25 years it's been very rare that anyone posted a single idea that conflicted with Buffett's position at the time on any issue, but me.

I pounded the table to, authorize, a buyback 20 years ago, no one vigorously agreed.

Once he finally goosed the stock with that phony 1.1 xs BV limit buyback, I pounded the table to authorize buybacks at, material discounts to IV, no one on the boards supported the idea. It took a few years but finally Buffett agreed.

I suggested why we needed a 50 for 1 split to increase liquidity so that brkb could be included in several indexes, to increase demand for the common, most of the responses on the message boards were comical, to be kind.

How do I know that in view of the current circumstances brk should declare a one dollar a B share quarterly dividend? Because not one poster here agrees, that's how I know it's the correct move at this time.

We shall see. Off to the park, have a grand day all.
