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.

Summary: As we would expect, all the BearCatchers and most intermediate term signals are full Bull, after the strong market bullish move starting immediately after the October selloff. However, there’s evidence of a short term top warning; the source is two big reversal days in the last 2 weeks with flips in the advances/declines. It could be a (very) short term bearish trade opportunity, or it could be yet another piece of untradeable computer-driven market ephemera.

US SmallCaps and Real Estate have exploded upward in the last 8 weeks with the flattening interest rate forecasts. As a result, a GTAA-4 approach would newly focus on US small caps, US smallcap growth, US REITs and ex-US REITs for the upcoming month. A GTAA-6 (moderate) approach would include US Large Caps (of course) and Emerging Markets (also newly strong since early November).
