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.

Years ago I joined on an OT stock touted as a diversification from BRK in the energy sector, Oil & gas some kind of way, and for me it was indeed a "frigging disaster". My own doing to invest in it, not blaming anyone, but I do see some similarity with DG in maybe a quickness to discredit arguments of those not on board even as disaster unfolded.

I am in on DG, initial lot of 30 shares at 155.62 on 8/24 and a second lot of 25 shares at 132.50 a week later on 8/31, waiting to add $2,300 more and I'm fine with giving it a few years. The issue bothering me most is the evident policy of competitively underpaying DG workers which appears to me to be counter-productive with few staff per store.
