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.

I would guess Warren chose him precisely because he’s not the type to take a flyer on some cockamamie fad, but continue the kind of stability and reliability that Berkshire is famous for.

Berk's largest single stock holding ever was Apple. Apple earnings and market cap grew at ~27% CAGR. Since then Berk is showing a lot of interest in Google which has had a Market Cap CAGR and annual earnings which have risen by more than 25% CAGR.

If AAPL and GOOGL are the kind of "stablity and reliability that Berkshire is famous for" I'm hoping Greg follows in Warren's footsteps.
