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.

Downsides to all this? Interest rates may fade, and Berkshire's stock price may rise without a dip. I miss getting the stock assigned and get a higher re-entry price when I ultimately cave in and plow back into Berkshire stock, but the "cash while you wait" benefit of interest in the mean time fades. Still, that isn't exactly a wipe-out, and I'll be happy making over 10% this year on that cash. It seems likely that some day there will come a time that things are once again on sale, and having cash and T-bills at hand will seem fortunate.


Aren't you losing the optionality value of the cash in the case of a market pullback?
