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.

"That's good as a starting point, but you'd probably want to work in the net equity sales (sales and purchases) and their timing during 2025."

Yikes! Thanks. I knew that I mis-typed the equation. Thankfully in the calculation I did include purchases of equity securities and sales of equity securities. However I did not put in the timing of the purchases or sales, which would have improved the calculation. Fortunately when the purchases and sales are small in comparison to the total portfolio value, the timing is not critical.
