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.

This is definitely one for Berkshire Hathaway long term investors.

I posted about Constellation software on the Falling Knives board today:

Manlobbi replies on Constellation Software - CNSWF

We don’t have our founder allocating capital at neither Berkshire nor Constellation, however the latter have distribued the process through many capable people many years ago who have proved to be able to continue their 20-30% return on invested capital even in the most recent years.

You can get this humble, disciplined and deliberately inconspicuous firm for 20 x free cash flow today, below where it usually trades.

That would not normally be super special howevee where almost everything - of quality - is now trading at above average multiples, this could be a good deal relative to what else is around. It is the kind firm you want to hold for 20+ years. They compounded at around 30% the previous 20.

My post above goes through some of the indiosyncratic aspects.
