I just came across an old article by Terry Smith on the topic of dividends. Since he makes his point using Berkshire as an example, I decided to post it here. He compares the current performance of Berkshire with the (fictional) performance of Berkshire with a 50% dividend payout after tax. Really astonishing! The performance gap is, of course, even larger if, like me (Swiss), you don't have to pay any capital gains tax (while dividends are taxed in Switzerland).

That's strange - I don't have a subscription and was able to read it for free. Alternatively, there is this link: Hard to read, but the chart in the middle says it all: Blue is the actual performance, yellow is the version with dividends:

Annual compound return 19% versus 14%.

I'm trying to read Peggy Noonan today, " We Are Starting to Enjoy Hatred", I'm doing something wrong? Thanks.

Nope. WSJ is just ahead of the game in blocking access
