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'm afraid that if you intend to leave a lot of posts it may run the risk (only on this board) of not speaking to the audience, because - the audience isn't here.

So the first goal, I repeat, is to wait for questions to appear by investor beginners, or more importantly to send the board url to anyone you know who is already wanting to get started but needs practical assistent, so then the audience will exist only after that as the starting point.

When I wrote 'paid promotion' I was talking really about running Google ads to invite people here as TMF would have done. Because we don't have that, the only avenue is for the community to invite people they know. And they have no obligation to, but that is the only possibility I know about to bring new investors to this board.

The opportunity to have this board function is immediately in front, but it will not come from posting no matter how perfect the post is, but from inviting beginners and then answering their questions.
