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."

Good morning, bud, I also bought a stock that didn't have an authorized buyback in place either right? Do you still oppose a buyback at material discounts to IV? Was the buyback ten years late? We aren't talking the ten commandments here, we are talking educated responses to market conditions.

Next year brkb will authorize a quarterly dividend and the regulars here will be proven wrong, again, watch. PLUS, the silence will be deafening.

Happy Holidays to you and yours old friend. hc
