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.

Many of us have owned brk for 25 years or longer. Obviously, we love Buffett, BUT, this is a perfect example of why brkb is worth more now. Buffett has a very non-confrontational personality.

Buffett stayed with and supported Ginny at IBM way too long.

He supported Vicky at oxy, too long.

He supported 3g, and Khc too long.

The Pilot- Flying J guys played him and abused his trust.

5 years ago a few of us pounded the table for Buffett to severe his relationship from Bill when Melinda did. He didn't act.

I doubt Greg has this type of problem. He will act when it's appropriate to do so, in real time.
