Subject: Re: RW, will brk pay a div ?
A dividend at your ordinary income tax rate is much less tax efficient than selling at the LT cap gain rate of 0-20%.

Sure, but why do you think a BRK dividend wouldn't be qualified? If it is, it's taxed at the exact same rate and brackets as LTCGs.

There are reasons to prefer LTCGs over qualified dividends, but tax rates (at least in the US) isn't one of them.
