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 think he could hang it up this year but I doubt it considering how interesting the moment is. He might get one more swing of the bat, bottom of the 9th, bases loaded, 3-2 count... I'd say 90% he isn't going to step down at the meeting itself -- that could cause a scene on many fronts.

I don't think he will say anything to disadvantage Berkshire either.

That said, at these very fair to borderline high prices, and with the meeting at hand, and at his age and with everything else going on right now with China, Russia, Israel, tariffs, Trump, DOGE, slowing GDP ... I have lightened a great deal and have a lot more sitting in short-term T-Bills than ever before.
