Post #9945 by mungofitch on the Berkshire Hathaway board

If someone appears to be repeatedly personal, lean towards patience as they might not mean offense. If you are sure, however, then do not deepen the problem by being negative; instead, simply place them on ignore by clicking the unhappy yellow face to the right of their name.

Can someone run this filter on a database they have access to and produce a list?

My database doesn't make it easy to see the share count shrinkage rage, and I don't feel like writing a little program for that...

But FWIW I get 208 firms meeting the other criteria, or 182 if you require a US domicile.
That excludes those with positive earnings but negative book value, which in a business sense equates to an infinitely high ROE rather than an arithmetically negative one. Good investments, on average.
