Buffett has talked at length about it. BRK never paid a dividend to shareholders but absolutely did do buybacks instead and largely because WB knew his talent as a capital manager would result in better return on equity for shareholders than a cash dividend, but his KO holdings did a lot of heavy dividend lifting for the past 40 years. AI did some napkin math but if you put 10k into gold, 10k in KO stock set to DRIP and 10k in nice uncirculated 1909 SVDB Lincoln Cents in 1986, here's the outcome. Quote: Final Tally (all three $10k investments from 1986, with dividends/positions reinvested): Gold $10,000 $120,413 12x Coca-Cola (DRIP) $10,000 $330,000-$410,000 33-41x 1909-S VDB coins $10,000 $19,200-$24,500 1.9-2.5x Coca-Cola crushes both by 10-20x. Gold beats coins 5-6x. Rare coins are a terrible pure capital appreciation play vs equities—they're hobbyist holdings with numismatic, not financial, payoff. That's not cherry-picking timelines or examples. Report this Post to the Staff
NumisEd Pillar of the Community United States 5273 Posts	Posted Today 1H 31M ago Just make sure the dividends are "qualified" (i.e., from stocks you are holding a long time). That triggers the long-term capital gains tax instead of the short-term capital gains tax.
