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.

Counter argument - AI isn't a winner takes all market?

Seems plausible.

I was planning on getting a paid tier of ChatGPT quite soon, to really learn and understand what it can and can't do.
But I recently decided to do the same with Gemini 3 instead.
One might speculate that I am not the first person to have this type of change of direction, nor the last. Maybe it will shift in another direction next year.

For the longer term, a better test might be, who has the data? Alphabet does spring to mind.
And who has the obscene profits to keep going full speed? Alphabet springs to mind again.

I've sold maybe 5/6 of my position in the latest price spike, but it's still meaningful and I plan to load up again on the next dip in apparent valuation levels. Presumably, with margin pressure from capex, entry points around 5-6 times sales will again work better than entry points above 10 times sales.

Been a great little while, that's for sure. Bought a boat load of ITM $90 calls in April for $75 and recently sold them for $236.
