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.

Very excited about today's news on the investments in Google and the homebuilder.

Not me. I know nothing about homebuilding, but I know enough about AI to know there's virtually zero certainty as to who will end up profiting from it. If anyone. I don't think Google has any certainty about it either; they're spending massive amounts just out of fear they'll be left behind, which has a decent chance of happening anyway. Yes, there are some other, moat-ish aspects to GOOG, such as its positions in the ad market, youtube, and the android ecosystem. But these were all there a few years ago at 1/4 the price, when the Best Investor Ever continued to pass on the stock.

I see the GOOG investments as a huge red flag regarding Abel. He seems to be overconfident, and at one of the worst times in stock market history to be so. I want those tbills back.
