How important is BRK-B not having a dividend in terms of capital appreciation without getting taxed?


The more I look into BRK-B (forget A given the price) , the more I appreciate the high quality businesses invested private/public, international exposure, and a few high growth buys like NU Holdings.

Doing full S&P with getting taxed on the dividends can chip away over time I suppose. BRK does fairly routine buy backs and sitting on a ton of cash. My thoughts are if BRK drops after Warren or Charlie's passing, the probable sell off is going to be met with what I imagine STRONG buy backs at discounted deep value prices with that cash hoard they're sitting on.

BRK.B over 20+ years with DRIP beats S&P, but not QQQ. Although I do like BRK's Apple exposure, along with AMEX, banks, etc.

Overall I think it is a great play (at least in my taxable individual account) given NO dividends, ability for buybacks at deep value. My 401k and 457b account are all VTI, and my Roth IRA is preferred stock funds with DRIP for example so feel confident. Thoughts?
