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 feel like PFE is less of a R&D pharma at this point than a LBO shop pretending to be one, similarly to how Broadcom/AVGO pretends to be a technology company. Their "competency" is harvesting cash flow from acquisitions towards future acquisitions. Unlike AVGO, they have a ticking patent clock before Mylan / Teva / Reddy et al are nipping at their heels. They fill a niche in the economic ecosystem, but I'd rather do basket plays on development stage companies (things like X (Twitter): Adam Feuerstein ✡️ (@adamfeuerstein) / X discusses much better than myself).. and I avoid those, too. The Buffett "too hard pile" principle.
