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.

Hi HC, I dont think I will get 292 but one never knows in this hyper irrational market, barring some real scare... I see nothing but sector rotation by talking heads and meme-ery. Reminded me of the markets can remain irrational..etc etc.. still, good for longs and shorts (short term holdings)taking "little flyers" for a quick circuit round the runway.like me.:-)

what I find most interesting has little to do with BRK... Playing the dollar/euro moves has been quite nice since last year, and has moved into quite nice territory again.

so.. catalysts ? for BRK ? fear, both 1)large market fears and 2) the WEB moves into tech stocks , AAPL has an ecosystem, all my youger relatives are there, nothing else will do...but for us older folks, we have seen techs come and go 3) longevity of WEB and Charlie.. 4) other oportunity, eg currency, hot tech, and china opening.

Me ? I think we will stay "undervalued" as usual for some years to come. BRK is a pensioners stock , trouble is most pensioners dont know it, and most brokers dont earn on it, so there's very little tailwind, until one believes its a "cant lose ever" purchase... I'm good with that, as I'm now officially a pensioner :-))

Probably not the answer you're hoping for , but all these sharp pencil estimates, to me anyway, are useful for high and low guardrails , but not much else. Someone posted the "BRK as an income stock" a couple of days ago , I recall the original article being posted on the old "bored" years back , and took it "on board"...I have my BRK table ready to go when I need to , and meanwhile try to add at "low valuations" and goose with some sectors I know,

anyway, good luck to you ! and as we say in Brexshit land "dont let the Bastards get you down " :-)))
