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.

From Barrons,

" he S&P 500 continues to struggle with its round-number challenge, having failed to close north of the 7000 point mark since first testing that historic threshold in late October.


For a $62 trillion market to trade virtually sideways over the next three and a half months, while rival indexes in Europe, the UK, and Japan continue to test new highs, is unusual. But not unsurprising. The vast majority of the S&P 500’s gains since the launch of OpenAI’s ChatGPT in late November 2022, which fired the starter’s pistol on the artificial intelligence investment boom, have been powered by a handful of stocks inexorably tied to the new technology. "

SPY is liquid, Buffett knows how hard it is to beat SPY, why bother to try to beat it 12 years ago with T and T? Why not take his own advice?

Yo Jim, please name the last three significant buy and holds from Buffett that do not pay a dividend.

Thank you.
