>I heard (welcome to rumor central< bg >) that the reason the cost per share is so high is that he refuses to issue stock splits to bring it down. He doesn't want speculators owning any part of the company.

Indeed. I quite agree with him. He has the notion of being responsible to his shareholders more than just making more money - imagine that. <g> He also refused to invest in high tech stocks as their PE ratios were out of whack. He was correct in his assessment it appears.

I read a good book about him a couple years back. His essential philosophy is to answer one question - By investing in this company would I be willing to own the whole thing? That causes him to look at the real numbers, culture, etc and it's served him very well.
