Subject: Re: Brk, it's time to declare a 1$ quarterly
" Let's assume that BRK management decided they did need to issue some dividends to consume cash flow. What if they made the dividends only apply to B shares?"
Brk couldn't do that but again, any A long could refuse the div if given an option which brk probable wouldn't do. Buffett could refuse the div on his A shares which would allow the foundations to enjoy higher proceeds from the sale of his donated shares annually.
Buffett has successfully made many of you anal with respect to a small taxable event to enjoy the benefit of greater demand for your common, going forward.
