The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" 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.

The problem is that timing keeps you out of the market in the early stages of the bull market -- which is where the quickest upswing is.

Somehow I don't have the impression that we are in the early stages of a bull market 😉

And to repeat again what I see and say (on the brk forum) since weeks/months now: S&P and Nasdaq more and more resemble Jim's "rounded top", the slow agonising way he says secular bull markets die. Plus, my beloved CNN index looks ever more "interesting" (click on "Timeline"):

edition.cnn.com - Fear and greed

Plus (yes, I repeat myself from the brk board, sorry) again - as so often during the last weeks - good ol Berkshire, the "Alcatraz", behaves completely different than the indices, goes up while they are falling or at least like today not down while they are falling a full 2-3%. What about that for an "Flight to Safety" indicator?
