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.

Red hot? Whatever. Today's another day and more data:

US PPI inflation came in better than the consensus forecasts with 0.2% month-on-month increase in producer prices, versus the consensus forecast of 0.3%, and 2.1% annually versus 2.2%.

Sorry, Armageddon averted.

Ya' know what it looks like? Looks kinda' like corporations are using inflation as cover to raise prices and rake in record profits at the expense of middle-class American families.

Oh, and weekly jobless claims came in at 211,000, lower than the consensus forecast.
