The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

And Buffett, an actual INVESTOR last I checked, can deploy the cash on our behalf in the best available INVESTMENTS as the cash becomes available. Or he can time the deployment of that cash for us when he sees fit. At a very attractive entry point….

Sure. But we are (or at least, I am) not talking about a significant dividend. Just a very small dividend so that BRK is paying some dividend, and it's not a no-dividend stock.
Not to be returning cash to the investors.
There would still be about $42 Billion cash on hand, and $33B free cash flow.

Heck, it could start at $0.50 a year and increase it by $0.01 each year, and then BRK would then be a Dividend Champion stock.
If it had began in 1980 it would be up to $0.94 now. And it would be a Super Duper Dividend Aristocrat Champion stock now, having increase the annual dividend for 44 consecutive years.
I am laughing out of my chair at the thought.

$0.94 dividend on a $685,320.00 stock.

Just a thought experiment. Musings on a boring day. Not gonna happen as long as WB is around.
