The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Friday, I bought back most of the calls I was short when brkb broke 480. The calls lost 85-90 % of their value so quickly I would rather be free to sell them again IF the stock trades back to 500ish. I hope up 20 to 500 is a big favorite over down 20 to 460, but so many unforced errors have been made the past year it's very hard to be confident.

In Beckys two hour special I did hear one comment that was worth the two-hour waste of time, BUT I still have no idea how Abel thinks about several critical issues. We all know how posts questioning Buffett have been treated the past 30 years, so I won't go there.

How pathetic and embarrassing is it that the article shared by MD got one rec, just me? That says it all, stay safe if you live in the states getting blasted!

An issue I've raised for 15 years,

"
This is where the legend of Buffett’s genius rightly springs. What is less well known, however, and even less discussed, is that these first five decades account for more than 100% of Buffett’s career outperformance. While he beat the S&P by a factor of almost 500 in his first fifty years, he has underperformed it in the eighteen years since. As the chart below shows, a million dollars invested in the S&P from the end of 2007 through mid-December 2025 would today be worth $6.6 million, almost 25% more than the $5.3 million you would have earned in Berkshire’s stock."
