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.

... for posting on Sep29 your precious major bottom indicator which was so incredibly spot on, calling the very lowest day!

I second that. I'm surprised how little attention that got given the epistemology:
1. He only made made one call (in the context of prominence / conviction). In other words, we are not data-mining too much over many other random suggestions.
2. The date selected was within one day from the actual very lowest quote.
3. Three months have passed, and the published date remained the market bottom each day of those 3 months.

Jim will be the first to highlight that the lowest quote can be revisited, and far deeper lows might be found (let's say, in the medium term, though unlikely very extreme-short-term nor in the long-term), but the point was after all to find a major bottom, not the lowest value in all future history.

So I congratulation mungofitch furthermore.
