The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" 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.

Isn't that a typical case for Warren's "Only invest in companies that are so great that they survive it when managed by idiots --- because at some point in time that will happen"?

I guess there is a corollary: should one not avoid, or put into the "too hard" pile, those organizations that might not survive a destabilizing leader?

I found much to ponder in the article "The Trump 50 Percent Doctrine" at the FT.
Probably paywalled, but this link Financial Times: Content 8632f1ba 7156 4bf7 8b80 20d3c0e5f365
