The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" 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.

This result does not seem 100% certain to be because of a revealed preference for US equities. Other things to consider are the rise in prices (which obviously increases the allocation to equities, measured at market value in US dollars) and any selling of US bills and bonds to fund investments elsewhere.

e.g., at flat equity prices with no trading and no change in bond prices, that 30% would have been 27-28%.

And of course from a global point of view, one's allocation to US equities is down 6% even at flat USD prices because of the YTD fall in the US dollar.
