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.

Pam Bondi wouldn't answer questions about the Epstein files in a hearing a few weeks ago claiming that the DOW was at "$50,000" so why were they bothering her.

US stocks surged on Monday, shaking off earlier losses as President Trump eased fears of an escalation in the Middle East war by postponing threatened strikes on Iran's power plants.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) rose 2%, or around 900 points The S&P 500 (^GSPC) and tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) both jumped around 1.9% and 2.1%, respectively.

Markets became upbeat after Trump said he gave instructions to postpone military strikes on Iran's energy infrastructure, thanks to "very good and productive" talks between the US and Tehran that will continue throughout the week.
