ATLANTA, March 29 (Reuters) - Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. (NYSE:CCE - news), the No. 1 bottler of Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE:KO - news) soft drinks, on Thursday said it will miss first-quarter financial forecasts because of soft North American volume and price competition. BRK does not own any "CCE", only KO. Further, BRK has had it's KO so long (not bought at 50 to 60 PE as you incorrectly ascert), that it's dividend yield on cost is 10%! So, BRK receives almost 2X the current bond rate on its KO investment annually! Of course, this is in addition to the almost 1000% unrealized cap-gain BRK is sitting on with KO. Perhaps that's why "Muppett" is number two on Forbes 400, just a couple notches above you Haim :-)
