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.

Many years ago I read The Davis Dynasty :Fifty Years of Successful Investing
On Wall Street. The author was John Rothchild who co-wrote the Peter Lynch books
Learn to Earn and One Up on Wall Street. The Davis Dynasty is 320 pages long as
opposed to the Davis Discipline is 154 pages long. Both books were written by
John Rothchild and carry the same subtitle Fifty Years of Successful Investing.
I have not read the The Davis Discipline so I cannot compare or contrast the
two books but the stories that Texirish quoted were familiar to me.

I remember the hot dog story because I often bring it up when I mention
the Munger quote "Most Of Our Shareholders Drive 10 Year Old Buicks."

Chris Davis manages the Clipper Fund which many years ago was managed by
well known value manager James Gipson. Munger's friend Franklin Otis Booth Jr.
was a Director of Clipper and had to find a replacement when Gipson left
Clipper. Booth owned 18,000 shares of BRKA putting him slightly behind
Munger in percentage ownership of Berkshire.
