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.

"do others here think this a good time for a new position of BRKB?"

In a word, no. Not particularly.

It's probably an OK time for a hold of over 10 years, since any entry price now will seem good compared to the ending price. But the valuation levels right now are noticeably above the usual, so I'd expect a flattish year or two at some point. You'll almost certainly see better times to buy.


This sounds like a backhanded way to say that BRK is a "hold" (i.e., do not buy, i.e. do not own, i.e. weak "sell").

But be warned: when things are cheap, the investing world looks bad. It's emotionally difficult to be a buyer when things look bad,

Zeelotes once said, "There is no such thing as a BUY signal that doesn't look insane at the time."
