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.

Any investor in BRK this century is as likely to underperform the indexes as not.

portfoliovisualizer.com - Backtest portfolio

2000-2023 (this century):
SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust Initial $10,000 Final $43,410 CAGR 6.49%
Berkshire Hathaway Inc. Initial $10,000 Final $89,768 CAGR 9.86%

An investor "this century" has 2x by being in Berkshire vs SPY.

Going forward, who knows? One appears to be more expensive than the other, but that's what makes a market.
