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.

Is ROE_Cash the same as what Jim calls LargeCapCash?

I always felt that YEY was rather hinky. Not a lot of holdings, and dividends are pretty much a nothingburger if you believe that dividends are not free money. But it was good while it lasted. ::sigh::

LargeCapCash or the LargeCapCashDividends version intuitively feel more robust. And 40 stocks has a better diversification. I'm not very confident that it will beat the S&P500 these days, since it doesn't include many of the top 7 companies that have been driving the S&P500 lately.

Decisions, decisions, decisions. I suspect that certain people would just say, "To heck with it, just buy BRK."
