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.

The top ten holdings are now 91 percent, as of NOV 30th. 37 percent brk, 7.6 percent cash. If, IF, the controlling family wanted to sell the entire fund to Buffett at say a 5-8 percent discount, Buffett could do it from the petty cash account, 1.8 billion to 2 billion or so. Clearly Buffett would love the portfolio and the control poppa is friends with Buffett. Meanwhile the 4 percent
distribution in my IRA covers my RMD, required minimum distributions, for our foreign friends. TO REPEAT, don't look at historical return comparisons, the fund had a 2.5 % expense ratio for over a decade, those days are gone. Disclosure, I have no contact with anyone at STEW or any of the control family members. Just sharing the best case scenario. Happy healthy New Year to all.
