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.

The paradox is that while Buy & Hold and inactivity is an excellent investment strategy, it's not a good strategy to keep a discussion board going. Posts keep a board alive! Inactivity may be a good investment strategy, but posting inactivity will kill this board!


I love it! Similar paradox in the market. I remember looking at some price thrashing and thinking "why aren't these people LTBH?" But of course, it could be that 99% are LTBH, but on any given day the activity we see will still exist because the LTBH are doing nothing, the only people doing something are NOT LTBY no matter whether they are a majority or a pimple on the face of the market. So the paradox: the market will always LOOK like nobody is LTBH whether or not people are LTBH.
