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.

You got this one backwards.
It was negative last time. This time it is positive.
It just came out so you probably grabbed the previous one. I downloaded it on "Mar 6 17:11"
RRSFS is + 2026/01/01,224606 vs. 2025/01/01,222941 +1.0074683436

In the excel file download it says "Data Updated: 2026-03-06"

RRSFS omits Oct 2025. The date is there but the value is missing. That's going to mess up things for a while. Caused my script to abort when it tried to do math with a NULL value.

My script checks them every weekday and downloads it if it has changed. I currently have 145 months as they were first published. In case people don't know, sometimes the most recent file has changes in older values when they are revised afterwards.
