Hi Jim, BRK not paying a divvy was one of the attractions, back when I was making a salary and did not need any extra income. I've owned it for a long time, and it's appreciated nicely, with zero tax consequences so far. Now I can sell chunks for living expenses, and add to positions that do pay a divvy, in a hopefully tax-efficient way. As for Buffet not paying a divvy, despite his fondness for owning stocks that do, I think the conventional wisdom is that he prefers to use the cash internally, and he is generally a better capital allocator than us shareholders.
