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.

Wendy,

Something which you didn't mention which is also at an all-time high is Bitcoin when you were discussing assets which could be used with margin to keep the balloon inflated. I'm thinking that the "average Bitcoin owner is far more likely to us financial leverage from his/her ever-growing wealth to acquire other assets - despite the apparent risk.

This may go a long way towards explaining where the excess liquidity is coming from.

If the balloon pops (pick whichever one suits you), do you think this pours accelerant onto the fire.
