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.

As far as gold goes I purchase it last January when it was obvious to me that the new administration wanted a weaker dollar. I bought gold and moved a lot of my money into international ETFs. So far that has worked out quite well. Now I'm looking for some quality international stocks I can buy. I don't buy a lot of individual stocks (currently own less than 10) but I wouldn't mind adding a few international stocks.

I did cash in a gold coin I bought 25+ years ago. It had no meaning to me. I picked it up during a work trip to the mideast.

I was just cleaning my hard drive and stumbled upon Jim's post and with all of the current gold talk, it seemed appropriate to post.
