You make the point I made in the post prior to the one you responded to Message 20200082 As for BRKA, I believe WEB has hurt his stock price by keeping it too expensive. Of course, he ONLY wants shareholders who are educated and interested in the long term. He correctly believes that too many companies manage for the short term rather than the long term success of their companies. On the flip side, BRKA is more tax efficient than index funds and might be the perfect investment if you have taxable money you want to set asside to educate your children. Buy one share a kid today and it should appreciate tax free until you sell it to pay for college. That is the sort of investor WEB is looking for and it might make up for losing those who don't want to buy an $89,200 stock. Kirk
