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.

Funny... my father received a phD in physics from Stanford in 1973. A few of his colleagues in the department went on to join Intel in the early 1970's when it was only several years old. They became wealthy because of that decision. I remember that sometime before the huge 2000-1 bubble ,they told my father they were selling out of the company because they did not believe in its future. That sell price must have been less than $10 per share and there was probably only one, maybe two, more 2:1 splits were left in its future. Seeing the current share price, it seems they were right, and there were substantially far better investments for the next 25 years.
