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.

Unintended consequences I’d agree. But unforeseen consequences? I don’t think so, even among proponents.

I recall Musk saying a few weeks before election “there could be pain before we get the benefit”. I think even Musk & probably Trump saw near term dislocations that could be quite impactful. We can debate how long or permanent those “dislocations” may be…that’s another issue.

Buffett’s raising cash was a risk/reward decision on the high valuations and lack of specific opportunities. Period. And before he knew outcome of elections. He has NEVER invested on politics and never will.

If prices were 30% lower Buffett would have $50 Billion in cash.
