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.

Though not the superinvestors of Graham & Doddsville, today's VisualCapitalist graphic compares current portfolios & Q1 perf of 5 "Superinvestors" including Jim Simons.
I have recently read "The Man Who Solved The Market", the untold story of Jim Simons & Renaissance Technologies, a long detailed history that ,as a reviewer commented, gave no hint of The Secret Sauce or Parting Of The Kimono.

I liked this quote By Robert Mercer, early partner in Renaissance Technologies,

'We're right 50.75% percent of the time...but we're 100% right 50.75% of the time. You can make billions like that.' - Robert Mercer, one of the key figures and former co-CEO of Renaissance Technologies

interesting that this graphic shows Renaissance holding over 3,900 positions & the largest at 2%.
