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 3 investments that make up the vast majority of my portfolio: 1)BRK.B, 2) VXUS/VSS, and 3) IJR.

Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund ETF (VXUS) would probably be fine but I personally prefer Vanguard FTSE All-World ex-US Small-Cap Index ETF (VSS) for the same reasons many on this board prefer RSP over SPY right now. Less top heavy/more diversified and better valuation. I own some of both. However, the EPS growth hasn't been there for the international indices as revenue (in USD at least) has been essentially flat for the past 17 years. yardeni.com - All country world ex US

Domestically, I am currently gobbling up as many iShares Core S&P Small-Cap ETF (IJR) [S&P 600 basically] shares as I can on this dip @ approx 16x P/E, 1.6x P/BV, 1x P/S which to me is a very fair price for an asset which has and should continue to produce 6-8% EPS growth long-term.
