WHY eliminate that potential demand for your security, because you want to avoid a small taxable event?

There are people who think alcohol is bad for them. Some of them won't drink any and its not as bad as it used to be, but will resist the social pressure to have a drink in various situations. It must be tough on people who have to socialize for a living, which seems to be sort of what some kinds of sales people have to do.

There are others who will put the cup out in front of them and hold it to their lips when a toast is called.

The dividends paid by the tech companies seem to be in the 0.2% to 0.5% per year range? Can you think of ANYTHING more symbolic instead of substantial than that? Try leaving a 0.5% tip next time you eat out if you don't understand what I am talking about.

In clearer language. The mag 7 etc I think agree with not paying a dividend. So they pay their 0.2% to 0.5% carrying fee on their stock to get everybody to just shut up about it. BRK doesn't give a firetruck whether you shut up about stupid s#i% or not so they won't bend the knee. There's a lot of other stupid stuff they won't do, too. You might even say, not doing stupid $h!t is their brand.

And constantly trolling about it is your brand. And pretending I am somehow outside of and above the system so I'm not really being trolled is my brand. And being actually smarter than everybody else while actually being most genteel in his communication style is Mungofitch's brand. And believing in Free Will is Ben Shapiro's brand.

But I digress, which I like to think is part of my brand also.
