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.

He gets results:

Depends on your frame of reference.

Your next door neighbour sets fire to your house, and his house, and says that if you lend him your lawnmower he won't block some of the fire trucks. He doesn't guarantee how many, but says it will be some. Is it a big win for him if you then lend him your lawnmower? He did, admittedly, get results.

On the exotic subject of Berkshire, has anybody noticed that it's one of only a hand full of S&P 500 companies to be lower in price in the last month? The rally relative-to-market started Feb 21 and ended around the first week of April. The advantage (representing all of the relative-to-market advantage in the last three years) has now half unwound.
