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 agree. I was there as well for the long weekend. I thought attendance within the CHI Center may have been 2/3 compared to the last couple years. Shopping on Friday there were certainly a lot less folks (?2/3) within the exhibition Hall and it was easier and less expensive to get Uber rides over the weekend. I had a blast with old and new friends and loved the conferences within the weekend-Gabelli, VALUE X, Larry Cunningham’s panel on Corporate Governance (with folks like ex-Board director Ron Olson & Mark Miller new Constellation Software CEO who was Very impressive & Paul Johnson), Gabelli/Columbia Dinner, Chris Bloomstran was a panel guest on multiple events,& Vitaliy K.’s brunch on Sunday. Wonderful weekend overall, despite being less in awe and entertained than previous years when Warren was on stage.

Greg is the right guy at the right time and I appreciated the Canadian hockey player stick passes and honest assessments he delivered. Not selling a single share & actually, i bought some shares for my teenagers today @ $465. Patience has paid off in the past with BRK & I think it will deliver again.
