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 was just watching a talk about stock market trend of US vs Global stocks. Recorded Feb 20, 2026, so before the Iran hoo-hah.
What he said is that US market spills over to non-US market.

So I went to yahoo and pulled up the chart of VTI & VEA -- Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI) and Vanguard FTSE Developed Markets ETF (VEA).
Then added BRK-B to the chart. Oof.

Then did some googling, and came up with "The correlation between VEA and VTI is 0.83, which is considered to be high. That indicates a strong relationship between their price movements."
