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 note that float, unusually, hasn't gone up. Same as three quarters earlier in nominal terms.

Float growth has definitely slowed but the data point from three quarters earlier was also sort of abnormal.
                float   growth  trailing 4 quarters growth
