However, Buffett is 91 years old, and thus will eventually be replaced as CEO of Berkshire, potentially in the not-too-distant future. There’s a chance Buffett institutes a dividend even before he leaves Berkshire. Here’s another quote from Buffett (the 5-year test below is referencing whether to retain earnings or pay dividends):

“The five-year test should be:
(1) during the period did our book-value gain exceed the performance of the S&P; and
(2) did our stock consistently sell at a premium to book, meaning that every $1 of retained earnings was always worth more than $1? If these tests are met, retaining earnings has made sense.”

According to Berkshire, from 1965-2021 the company grew its per-share market value by 20.1% compounded annually, compared with 10.5% compound annual returns (including dividends) for the S&P 500.

This is why Buffett believes he can always find a better use for cash than to simply pay it out to shareholders.

my own take:
1) dun buy in anticipation of dividends. buy if u think Berkshire is a good company with or without Buffett.
2) BRK with Buffett and Munger grow 20% compounded annually. any guru can claim to do >20% pa over long term better show their P/L statements. otherwise i call them outright misleading ads and scums.

Will there ever be a repeat of the penny stock crash? It’s possible – as long as markets are a place where greed and fear thrive and where big money can be made, there will always be those who will try to exploit these emotions and manipulate prices for their own benefit.

However, given the regulatory steps which have been taken post-2013 and as long as everyone does their homework before investing, there is good reason to believe that repeats will be few and far between.

The best protection for a retail investor is investing with knowledge. There is no excuse for any retail investor to be ignorant, given the wealth of investor education available in Singapore.

All should also learn to recognise the signals that regulators send to alert the market.

Buffett has long recommended that investors put their money in low-cost index funds, which hold every stock in an index, making them automatically diversified. The S&P 500, for example, includes big-name companies like Apple, Coca-Cola and Amazon.

Buffett previously told CNBC that for people looking to build their retirement savings, diversified index funds make “the most sense practically all of the time.”

“Consistently buy an S&P 500 low-cost index fund,” Buffett said in 2017. “Keep buying it through thick and thin, and especially through thin.”

https://medium.com/the-money-plot/why-warren-buffett-really-cut-off-his-granddaughters-c72c1f34d7a2Dec 9, 2020

the mega-billionaire mailed Nicole a letter in which he cautioned her about the pitfalls of the Buffett name: “People will react to you based on that ‘fact’ rather than who you are or what you have accomplished.”

He punctuated the letter by declaring, “I have not emotionally or legally adopted you as a grandchild, nor have the rest of my family adopted you as a niece or a cousin.” Nicole was devastated. “He signed the letter ‘Warren,’” she says. “I have a card from him just a year earlier that’s signed ‘Grandpa.”

Warren Buffett distanced himself frm Nicole, who is the biologically daughter of Mary the leech, but legally adopted by Peter Buffett.
therefore, it is my entitlement to test by hypothesis dat WB definitely did not pass down his investing knowledge or his way of management skills to anyone else.

i dun think Nicole is a leech, or dat she goes ard telling ppl she is the disciple of WB, but be very careful when some1 tell u to listen to nicole becoz she is "grand daughter" of WB.

I read one of her books and shes basically a scam at this point. There's some interesting Information in there, but from a valuation stand point she has little idea of what she's talking about. There's much better info from Buffett and Munger quotes.

Why would Warren Buffett's daughter in-law be sitting in on sessions at Berkshire Hathaway? She mentions something about it in the book but I can't bring myself to believe it. It's just bizarre.

But yes, using that name is blatantly idiotic.

Clearly, the current environment is hostile towards any stock associated with technology. In the case of Amazon though, we see a dominant retailer whose capital needs are supplemented by an equally dominant cloud computing business, both of which remain in the early innings of their overall penetration rates across the U.S. and global economies. As the effects of rising inflation and interest rates eventually impact the credit-challenged retail industry (bricks and mortar retail), we believe Amazon can accelerate its growth through market share gains in the years to come.

Lastly, we are constantly reminded that good performance is usually dependent on your behavior in a bear market and not your behavior in a bull market. It is time to brush off your wish lists!

Before you do anything- do your own reading. Go online. Talk to people outside the circle. Think for yourself!

Don’t fall for scams.
Worse don’t from one scam fall into another
