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.

gotta admire a real investor much older than trump that believes he will outlive this...

martin sasnoff:
"There’s something ludacris about Trump pulling the strings on everyone’s net worth with his power to tax. Consider, I fought for my country while Trump tapped his doctor for a note saying he was medically unfit for service.
...
I still think about our President as an old draft evader who is now pounding my kidneys, making money managers look foolish. Don’t tell me I can sell out, go to cash but foot a huge tax bill. I don’t know anyone who quietly packs it in, settles his taxes, then lives happily ever after.
Is Trump, the wrecking ball, about to unhinge the western world and create a worldwide depression? An even money bet.
Was it Marcus Nadler, my old professor at NYU who used to say, “Politics leads economics” I’m down to 20% invested long. Maybe for as long as President Trump holds the Oval office."

(by the way, kudos to those paying the huge tax bill, know they have enough, and live a great life elsewhere)
