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.

@carsdude,

Sorry to hear about your health issues and wish you all the best in getting treatment for them.

If you are worried about single stock/ management transition (more important than Warren->Greg is Ajit->new guy transition IMO), then option 1 is best. The federal cap gains taxes have been as low as ever have been in my life time, and you say that you live in a zero tax state. Moreover, I think the tax rates rate likely to go up in the future.

You could keep the proceeds in ST T-bills and slowly diversify over a period of time into a broader market index. The S&P is clearly overvalued IMO at these levels, so an equal weighted index like RSP may make more sense.
