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.

Hold a broad-based index of non-U.S. equities...


On the subject of the relationship between those shamelessly context free snippets:

One thing that is quite interesting about current conditions compared to previous cycles is the extent to which ex-US investors are "all in" on US equities. 70% of all money raised by the global asset management industries has been going into the US. We (the "foreigners") collectively own about $22tn worth of US shares, triple the level a decade ago. This time around, should there be a market "accident" in the US, it will smack people (and retirement funds, and governments) worldwide very much more than in past episodes.

I don't know where the top will be, but there have been many interesting developments in markets lately. It seems that, rather than narrowing as it typical at a market top, the fun has been spreading in places. The latest 20% pop in essentially all big Nasdaq stocks in the last 3 months is quite remarkable. The equal-weight S&P hit an all time high on Thursday, and the equal weight Nasdaq 100 hit a new all time high Tuesday last week, both much more recently than their kinda-cap-weight equivalents. So, though I don't know what will happen, what seems most likely is that the party will not end very soon, but when it ends it will be one for the ages.
