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.

If I was holding I’d be wondering how much longer the lines can get.

It's not the lines, it's the membership fees, the new warehouses, and the internet sales.

The 2023 AR says:

861 warehouses worldwide as of Sept 2023

26 opened in 2023 (I think 23 net new and 3 relocations)

28 projected in 2024. (Their international segment continues to grow nicely)

Plus, a 24% increase in e-commerce revenues 2023 over 2021.

I don't see any reason not to expect steady growth along these lines for the foreseeable (ten year?) future.

owner off and on since ca. 2000. (It always seems so overpriced that I sell it when I need to pay college tuition or home improvements. Then, a year later, I find myself buying it back)
