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.

No mention of the CFO leaving on the call today. Did she see something she didn't like? The one positive I took from the conference call is that Tom didn't crow about buying stock in the market for himself in the past 8 quarters.

The press release is very complex. Berkshire has had difficulties with GEICO this past few years, difficulties come and go, I think Tom is a very good spokesman, and stock investor, I think the jury is still out about him running the company.

Berkshire bought and sold MKL stock fairly quickly.

I'm holding.
