Good morning old bud, congratulations, when you are lost and confused you are still alert enough to come to me to hold your hand. ::}}

"As you have appointed yourself as the resident expert on the subject of firms introducing dividends, I presume you have read the paper by Sanjay Sharma at MIT? Do Dividend Initiations Signal Firm Prosperity?"

I'm very impressed, you went from quoting Buffett's letter written in 1999 to Sharma's paper done in 2001, in the United States it's 2026, bro, update your files.

During the past 25 years plus have you learned anything new about wall street and investing or were you all knowing 40 years ago?

You continue to insist the BODS or nvda, meta, googl, etc are ignorant and uninformed capital allocators, we disagree.

20 years ago the usual suspects here, aka, experts, assured me brk didn't need an authorized buyback because Buffett could do much better than invest a dollar in brk, how'd that work out?

I asked years ago, why do you suppose firms pay for order flow both common and options, you never explained it to me, thank you.

In the 30 plus years of following brk buying an odd lot of NYT has to be the most bizarre buy in decades. The Ochs- Sulzberger family controls NYT via the B shares. Have you foreigners heard about the Epstein files? Do you believe the NYT, headquartered in NEW YORK, did a great journalistic job covering that case? Was Epstein connected to the control people at NYT in any way? Was he ever offered a job at NYT? How unaware can brk be? brk should sell the NYT, today, into the uptick.

It's raining and windy today, hence you have access to the brilliance of my thoughts all morning, no pickleball today! As always, I'm here for you.
