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.

It's my first post, I usually don't spend time chatting on BRK. I'm a bit surprised of the post and I think the answer is already "inside" the question: way too many thoughts..
Too much cash: "What the hell is wrong with that?" (Charlie's answer is still valid).It's BRK's "problem" since many years. Did cash create damages of any kind so far? Only in the minds of the short-term over-thinkers.
Keep the faith, and be patient. Time will come to deploy and the clouds will be nullified by new clarity.
If you are selling because of the high price or because of too much cash or whatever you're wrong.
Price was high in 1996 candidly admitted by Warren and Charlie at the GM. But me and Charlie "we are not going to sell".
I'm a long time shareholder, I never sold one.
I don't know if I'm posting again something but I understand that if you read the last 10Q and all the previous reports accurately and know most of the bouquet of businesses owned by BRK, well, there's not much of a novel in our world, damn right and happily so!
So I understand it's human to post something to gossip about! Have fun! Respectfully..
