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.

FWIW, one of my subscriptions behind a paywall just now came out with this:

----------
"I think this is getting over-done, though I'm not willing to put new money to work just yet. But I am going to sell some of the hedge I put on from July 3rd, when I said to buy the ProShares UltraShort -2X S&P 500 (SDS), $24.20 real time market price, +3.7%, when it was at $22.72."

"as I write this (pre-market), the markets have taken ANOTHER leg down on the weak non-farm payrolls number that just came out. So if you were looking for an opportunity to buy, I think this is a good moment, especially if this now virtually guarantees a rate cut in September by the Fed based on the rally in bonds.

I will be back with some buy ideas, but this is clearly the shake out we have been waiting for.

----------

Who knows? Buy? Sell? Hold? Stick with your plan?
