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.

I tried some Hershey's and it grew on me and now I like it, acquired taste perhaps? Some prefer Coke some prefer Pepsi, some prefer the McDonald's Burger, some the BK. I prefer Wendy's.

When it comes to Meta I deleted my FB account many years ago as I can't stand it (all the annoying posts and adverts) I prefer LinkedIn. However like Hershey's people love FB, WhatsApp and Instagram be it to connect, show off, whatever they do 🧐. I like to use LinkedIn as a black book of contacts for business as people seem to move round all the time and I cannot keep track of them!

If you look at the numbers HSY and Meta are good moat like businesses with customer retention, just because "I or you" don't like it doesn't mean others don't. The numbers don't lie. At the right price I'd hold both, I already have Meta.
