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 have been fortunate enough to have used information gleaned from METAR and other selected boards to make a significant amount of money over the years.

There are a number of new members to the board who are filling it with political rhetoric. While it might have been tolerated on TMF, this board has been relatively "clean" until the past few weeks. Yes, it is appropriate to post about political activity which upsets you - but on the Political Asylum or US Policy boards. While it is true that many government policies have macroeconomic implications, if you look at the recent posts, many add little to our ability to use the information to make money.
