Re: What are we missing?

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 think some of it goes back to this great quote from Peter Lynch......

"Far more money has been lost by investors in preparing for corrections, or anticipating corrections, than has been lost in the corrections themselves.”

Like Charlie once said: "Timing the market is difficult. You have to be right twice - when to get out and when to get back in - in a game where it's difficult to be right once."

For me, it has always come back to just hold the damn stock!
