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.

I did not get the impression that the OP was primarily concerned about US inflation, rather the national tremors that are causing many of us to question the over concentration of investments in the US, and is looking to diversify his holdings to other nations that, among other things, won't cause his assets to evaporate from rampant inflation. Rampant inflation is not the primary risk I see in the US.

Slight clarification, I am moving to the EU and looking for a place to put uninvested cash (in Euros) that will keep with Euro-zone inflation, much as my uninvested cash here has been primarily in SPTS / VUSXX. The diversification is not due to inflation fears as such, but due to much broader concerns about holding all my assets in what is now an unsafe and unstable place.

Best of luck in your emigration journey. I will just offer that 2026 is a long way away and IMO the risk of not being able to exit is rising by the day - and receptiveness to American immigrants is likely to drop rapidly in many countries that were allies a month ago and are now being mocked and excluded. I know people who are trying and failing to get their passports renewed right now, and there are many other parts of emigration that require a functioning federal government bureaucracy.
