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.

In what I think is an interesting and also amusing article:

https://archive.ph/HkWhX

...Surges in Googling do a much better job than valuations at forecasting an imminent fall ... In each case the price of the stock, basket, fund or cryptocurrency dropped considerably over the 12 months following the peak*** in internet searches. Moreover, for the ARKK fund, bitcoin, GameStop and SPACs, prices spiked at almost exactly the same time as Googling did.
...
...
Google searches for “AI stocks” have since fallen so dramatically in recent months, just as the stocks themselves are having a wobble ... The Philadelphia semiconductor index, which tracks companies in that industry globally, dropped by 13% in the first three weeks of November, though it has since bounced back.

***Too bad that one only knows long afterwards whether a peak was THE peak or just a new high (eventually followed by a correction before it continued it´s march upward).
