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.

From a market commentator & FA that I follow:

"We got the CPI number everyone wanted and not only did the S&P 500 (SPY), $529.78 closing market price, make a new all-time high yesterday, it blew right through the previous intraday high of $524.61 from March 28th."

...

"But how do you reconcile the fact that most Americans feel so downbeat about the economy and their future? Does that make any sense when the markets are at all-time highs?

Well, we know that inflation is impacting consumers ... "

...

"I continue to take a more cautionary outlook for the equity markets now and will continue to add to hedges on legs up while continuing to shift assets over to bonds and other fixed-income investments. "

Last night my timing signal was:
Potential recession, obey SMA sell signal.
Timing: IN stocks (+12.0% vs. SMA) (# 29 consecutive weeks) possibly in recession
