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 remain rather perplexed that this crew, of all groups in the world, has concluded that an investment is a total bust and was obviously a stupid idea primarily because the price is down after a year. Do folks give up that easily?

I'd hesitate to draw conclusions based on what the most vocal minority post in a situation like this.

Such situations seem to bring out two main groups:

1) The "I told ya so's" group, ready to let the world know, and

2) The invested group, disheartened and licking wounds, who perhaps haven't fully passed judgment yet but have had their faith shaken about their investment choice.

The former have every incentive to be crow as they chest thump, but the latter not so much.
