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.

You're not alone in deciding to sit on your hands for a while and see what happens, but that means a lot of potential economic activity is on hold for a while.

Are cargo ships that were headed for the US now turning around in mid-ocean?


Think more about investment decisions, M&A, hiring plans, that sort of thing. Buyer interest in very expensive houses has apparently fallen off a cliff, according to a friend in that business. If I were thinking about starting a business, I'd certainly be holding off to see how the cards land. When the big money sits on its hands, the regular folks feel it.
