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.

My point is, buying a stinker and watching it go to zero hurts far less than watching a winner run after you were too smart by half. The dollar difference between those two mistakes isn’t even close.

The coffee can approach is genius.


I had a girlfriend who would buy a few thousand $s of every tech darling she ever heard of.

But she would never sell anything! I was sure she was smarter than me, so why would she do that. "You've got to get rid of these dogs" I would say.

She has owned NVIDIA for years. I dabbled in it years ago but didn't keep much.

Remebering also when I bought Apple in the 1980s and sold it when it went down a little. Yay me!

Yeah that coffee can is looking pretty good.
