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.

We would if/when it is priced at an excellent price vs. valuation, although the index alternatives do seem reasonable long-term. We trust the predictability of BRK wrt growing normalized and diverse earnings ($54B/ year), it's leadership/ integrity/culture, capital allocation decisions and feel it will always keep its financial rock of Gibraltar status. Rule #1 has become an even higher priority with age and experience. We trust the chosen leadership beyond WEB and CTM but will be observing closely.

We are in our 50s and have just entered a slow draw down phase but feel sure we will purchase more BRK when it is really 'on sale.' FWIW, BRK is by far our largest equity and our BRK ownership has been 4x that of the index. Would not mind adding more RSP or QQQE if their valuations really fell(>25% or so) from here.

Eager to hear others weighing in on this thread as many of us are navigating in a similar boat.
