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.

Hi Rich,

You are probably aware of this board (non-us stocks):
Shrewd'm: Non-US Stocks board at Shrewd'm
Recent discussions there have been about British REITs.
I'm a fan of the ETF WIP, which holds non-US inflation-protected bonds. As the dollar weakens this tends to go up. Not a high-flyer.
I have been surprised at the number of countries that have Circle-K stores in them (e.g. Sweden). The parent (Alimentation Couche-Tard) is Canadian and I haven't checked to see what fraction of the business is US-related and what is not. I do not currently own this. They took a hit when they tried to merge with (Carrefour?).

OrmontUS has been coat-tailing Berkshire in some Japanese stocks. I fear it might be late to get on that particular wagon.

This is hardly useful but may give you some ideas.

Rgds,
HH/Sean
