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.

The highest I remember it went was 2.6 BV back in 2007

Not quite...highest since Feb 2004 has been 1.93 times known book, using daily close.

Yeah, I remember that 2007 spike. It lasted for about ten minutes, right after people thought "we should move to safety" but right before they though "oh poop I need cash NOW".
(the ten minutes is figurative, it closed above 1.9 times book for 5 trading days in early December 2007)

The current move is shaping up to be somewhat memorable.
