You think black folk should stop paying their taxes or sue the state to prevent the use of their taxes for for those schools. Forty something years ago when I went to a state university, any student who had to have a minimum of a "C" avg. could be admitted. Not all graduated, but the student had a chance. I was thinking of the California system. That proposition 209 extended beyond Berkeley or Davis.

It should be 5.7% for Berkshire. This is based on a Reuters' analysis of the ten year % Return on Investment. It is on page 3 of the Reuters report on Berkshire (BRKA). www.permanent-value.com/Research/BRKreports/BRK.a%20RCR.pdf However, I think you get the point that one could invest the salary of Ford's CEO and help the workers. Strange you would read an essay just for one number and not the point. Actually, I mistyped the number. It should be 5.7% for Berkshire.

Unfortunately, that is not true--Berkshire does not pay a dividend and thus has no dividend yield. Total return on Berkshire stock would be based solely on its price change during the time period owned. However, there are plenty of other solid dividend-paying companies into which you could invest your money.
