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.

At the end of the day, Berkshire just has an unusual ability to avoid interrupting the compounding process over multiple decades. That makes all the difference.

💯 Well said. You appear to be channeling the great Robert Frost in The Road Not Taken: "I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference."

I would also wager that Berkshire is likely to outperform the broader index slightly over the next decade just because the index valuation has become so egregious.
