I have just voted on the questions for friedcat. Now I'm offering my opinion out loud - while we all love the high dividends, and have no doubt that the management team have excelled themselves so far, I think it's time that AM increased its transparency. Things like a quarterly earnings report, annual balance sheets and so forth.
Berkshire Hathaway is a good example of a successful company with a no-frills website that contains all the information an investor needs:
http://www.berkshirehathaway.com
I think offering the same level of information to shareholders is a worthwhile and realistic goal for AM.

Berkshire Hathaway has been around for decades and is worth nearly $192 billion dollars - it isn't a one-man show. They could've hired a web dev and they didn't. Why should Friedcat?
When making a website is the highest priority, he'll get around to it.
Have you looked at the Berkshire website? You could pay a college student $10/hour to hand-code HTML to come up with that. This isn't about anything fancy, it's about disseminating relevant financial information.
