Darffot, Re: BRKa / QCOM and, “look at a 4-year chart of BRK.A vs. QCOM. QCOM down a bit more than 50%; BRK.A up about 125%.”

Interesting choice of time frame. Let’s look longer term and throw in a dividend comparison.

...................Dec 96..............Curr............... % inc........Div/Sh......Yield on 12/96 Price
QCOM.......$..........3.97...... $......63.02.....1475%........$.40...........10%
BRKa..........$34,100............$92,150............170%..........0...............0

BRKa’s increase probably doesn’t even keep pace with insurance premium increases over that period.

Qualcomm pioneered CDMA which revolutionized wireless communications and will better the life of billions of the world’s population by enabling them to communicate with each other and access the internet and high speed data services.

WB enables folks to acquire insurance coverage, pay ever increasing premiums for such and hassle agents / claims adjusters, and chow down at Dairy Queen / Sees Candies.

WB who feels its okay to raise everyone else’s taxes, to my knowledge has never sold a share of BRKa , and therefore never paid a dime of capital gains / dividend taxes on such.
