Exactly. M.A.K.E Y.O.U.R O.W.N D.I.V

But it appears there’s some severe mental hang up with those attached to divided paying names. Take GE as the poster child of this. The fixation with receiving a dividend brought in blindness to the dividend paying ability. According to reports, GE was borrowing money to do this and share buybacks.

Buffett has alluded to this as the difficulty in stopping dividend once started.

Irrational behavior is rampant. Please keep Berkshire away from there. I’ll vote it down should it come up again.
