Subject: Re: Brk, it's time to declare a 1$ quarterly
As someone who has only been able to buy B shares (I first came into some money in 1996), I would prefer no dividend no way no how. When I need money --or sense that my cash reserves could go a bit lower than comfortable -- I sell when the price is favorable to me. I see no reason why others can't go the same.
I don't want the tax consequences that come with a dividend. I'm sure plenty of BRK.B holders craft their selling to be under what the limits are for ACA help and/or SS tax penalties.
I suppose if us B shareholders were allowed a one-time conversion to A shares to mitigate an upcoming B share dividend that *might* work out.
