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.

I almost put in "We will fight them in the parking lot, we will fight them in the toy aisle". Too many good quote sources.
Your last bit is presumably Aragorn, but to keep with the desperation rather than encouragement, it also sounds like something from Silo...

For whatever it's worth (not much), Value Line's price target 3-5 years out is $135-200. They're guessing net margins will recover moderately to 4.4%. For scale, average and lowest years 2014-2021 were 6.2% and 5.2%, but the recent low year was around 3.2%.
