I'm pretty much with Buffett on this. IMHO, dividends don't matter. I continue to believe, as the excerpt demonstrates, that Buffett thinks dividends matter a lot. I guess we are talking about two different things. Maybe they are not different to you, but they are different to me. In investment decision, dividends don't matter to Buffett and you have not demonstrated that they do. He has a strong opinion how and when dividends should be paid, so they do matter in that kind of sense and he forces his wholly owned businesses to adhere to his philosophy. I have seen no evidence that he ever pushed any of his passive investments to adhere to the philosophy. I have also not seen that he made investment buy/sell/not-buy decision based on it.
