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.

"I don't have any specific comments about Legal & General, or Lego.

But if you want a UK investing idea, look at the Financial Times tongue-in-cheek "XFT" index.
They take the FTSE firms, and find the 9 which have been mentioned least in the prior five years.
Currently they are
Sage
Spirax-Sarco
Croda
Halma
Rentokil Initial
Experian
Relx
Compass
Bunzl"

This is interesting because several of these are holdings in Nick Train's funds and/or are recommendations of services like the Motley Fool. I would never have pegged these as being the least mentioned over the last 5 years.
