It's just human nature -- once someone starts >calculating, "external" considerations creep in. You make a good point here. THere is so much questionable stuff in valuation it is tough to make those decisions. On BRKA it is a little easier for me. I live in NYC. FED+STATE+CITY capital gains taxes equals a severe bear market. I bought in 88-90. And I have nowhere to put the money that will generate a greater amount of future proceeds with the after tax proceeds. Getting a lower than usual rate of return on on BRKA going forward is better than a slightly better rate of return with the after tax proceeds.
