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.

VT greatly underperforms.

You can add to or modify the testfolio link I posted (VT is too short, so use VTSIM).

Portfolio Visualizer shows the same thing. portfoliovisualizer.com - Backtest asset class allocation

Thanks for mentioning VT. I've had VT as a low key thing to consider maybe someday, but never looked closely at it.
Now that I have run backtest comparisons with VT, it's now in my "never" basket. **shudder**
