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 found him to be a thin-skinned narcissist who enjoyed a bunch of loyal sycophants on his board telling him how great he was. He thoroughly enjoyed his privilege controlling posting and banning people. He created drama personally and nurtured it in others. I found him unlikable and his board to be toxic.

His investing style was momentum and his timing was excellent in that regard. The best I can say is that he really took off during the inflow into SaaS but he dropped them without missing a beat. Some of his followers weren't that lucky. And, it's really their fault, because he takes pains to say to not follow his investing (even though he posted regularly and updated his portfolio monthly, and banned people for disagreeing with him!)

I think Saul was significantly responsible for the downfall in the quality of the boards over there.
