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.

Good Q4 results.

Combined ratio solid during Q4 and full 2025. Portfolio and Ventures cranking out acceptable returns as well.

My gut suggesting MKL has turned a corner for the time being and hitting on all cylinders. Not crazy expensive either.

To me, its a buy it and forget it investment.

For the many, many years I've accumulated and sat on my shares, I don't ever remember feeling as secure going forward another year as i do presently.
