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.

True for one stocks, true for all stocks: high starting valuation multiples are a bad omen for forward returns.

💯

There were also some tough stretches for Berkshire where starting valuation was quite reasonable (mid 2000's) and the market return after 7-8 years was close 0% due to GFC in the middle. I was more comfortable with Berkshire during that time than anything else in my portfolio (ex-cash).
