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.

Since March 31st I've plunked down quite a lot on B's. I've made 8 transactions, Highest purchase price $477.95, lowest purchasing price $472.87

I purchased a few more shares on Friday at $477.20 (my highest purchase price ever). I am still convinced of the thesis that there is a "floor" of sorts on the share price now that buybacks have officially resumed.

I'm trying to find ways of reducing interest received in 2027, and this money would normally have gone into a T-bill or a CD maturing sometime in early/mid 2027. Instead I figure I'll put it into Berkshire ... if 2027 comes along, and I need cash, I can sell a few shares on or after April 19th, 2027 and it'll count as long-term gains (or somewhat unlikely as long-term losses). I will probably be doing this repeatedly this year. I may also sell close-to-the-money puts to accomplish the same thing.
