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.

If anybody remembers discussions of Seagate on the old boards, one famous post quoted Jim Chanos from a May 2013 investor's conference saying that if there were one stock he'd short, it would be Seagate, citing the PC business having peaked and a glut of storage capacity. I disagreed and was long for a long time.

The stock price was trading in the low $40s at that time.
Having been out of the name for a while, I just looked at a recent chart to see how things have been doing...current price $913.76. Yowza. The melt-up started about 16 months ago when it was in the $80-100 range.

So....NOW I think it might make a good short! Though I'd wait for the rocket to stumble.

Jim
