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.

Certainly possible that some of these more exotic answers are correct or at least influential. I tend to ride with Occam: the Apple position is just too damn big and maybe a bit wobbly. It’s *twice* the size of GenRe, for example. Bigger than BNSF. And yet it’s not a company over which Berkshire has any control, in a field where it has no special expertise. (And with the AI hobgoblin jumping up and down demanding attention, perhaps an area ready for disruption.)

At least that’s better than what Occam told me yesterday: that Warren’s iPhone stopped working and he’s pissed.

The BoA sales are coincidental, probably.
