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'm not Jim and the below doesn't replicate his signals. That said: my hack "extreme short term bottom" has thrown a 2 out of 3 signal the last 3 days in a row - on percent above moving averages.

When these extreme levels happen it's *usually* before a short term bounce - as Jim's mentioned. We have no way of predicting whether it's the final bottom (the first is unlikely to be the last) or the last.

FWIW I have put a mere 6% back in hoping for that bounce this week.
