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 it could be resurrected, there were a few posts from a guy in the middle of the 99-2000 bubble on the ancient Fool message board that humble-bragged about investing his entire portfolio in one high-momentum screen (RSIBD if memory serves) for 4 months and turned $100+K into over $1m or something.

He confidently predicted / planned on early retirement, traveling the world, turning the $1m into $5m or something in the next year...

...and despite our warnings...

basically lost it all in the tech bubble burst over the next year. Never heard from again.

one who has recently shied away from the more-frequent-than-expected big one month drops.
