I'm rewarding the companies that have not cut their
dividend by putting new money in their shares. A few
come to mind that will reward investors over many years.

I would also agree that China is another long term play because it's
in the early stages on it's development the same way the US was in
the last century. The US is in deep debt, and can't affort it's health
care, and pension committments in the future. Unless it exports
more goods than it imports, ( not likely ) then the tax rate will
have to rise to fund these programs. The point is that you have to
look at other areas beside the US market. ]]>

eventually you pay capital gains, but they are paid only once. So all that money you paid in taxes could have compounded inside the share price over the period that you own the shares.
Warren beleaves that compounding is the secret to the highest after tax
rate of return. Owning a company is alot more about fundamentals, then what they pay out as dividends.
