The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" 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.

Same here. Except, I bought Google in the 80s and sold in the 100s, twice in a row.

My mistake of selling too soon with Google was a result of trying out options (with the equivalent balance in cash).

It added a feeling of time pressure I've not felt before in investing. So I do not use options any more.

Separately, I was surprised by this bubble happening as it did, a strong rally beginning from such high levels.

The 'lows' of the last two 'crashes' of 2020 and 2022 are still higher than the Shiller CAPE of all but a few years in the last century.

Look at the graph and compare 1905, 1937, 1955, 1965, 2004, 2007, 2014 peaks for example against 2020 and 2022 lows.
