Subject: Re: Dear Mr Buffett, and your letter next week.
" You've put your money into something that is spectacularly famous for not paying a dividend, and you now desperately want a dividend."
I bought a stock that didn't have an authorized buyback in place too, right? In 2006 the appropriate time had come to authorize buybacks at material discounts to IV, period. Better late than never.
In 2006 I suggested that brkb acquire the, right of first refusal on ALL Foundations sales, brkb still has not acquired that right, a huge error.
Last year I asked Buffett to spin out the apple to shareholders or reduce our exposure to the name by selling half, he agreed.
Can someone tell us WHY we have no certainty with respect to WHO bought the googl? I believe it was T and or T, not Buffett. Will Buffett call Becky Monday and clarify WHO bought the googl?
To repeat, look at brks top ten holdings, which Buffett buys do not pay a dividend, this is complicated?
Next year brkb will declare a quarterly 1$$ a share dividend, that's my prediction.
I still think we should acquire the right of first refusal on all Foundation sales.
Happy Holidays to our BODS, partners, and even the trolls.
