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.

Any ideas on how to handle my fear of going in just when market is so high and might drop a lot?


Yeah. Hold your nose and dive in.
Look at a long-term chart of the S&P500. Just about every place you put your finger, it was higher than it was in the past. And lower than it was in the future.

I passed up buying 1 share of BRK because it seemed stupid to pay $2000 for a single share of some company that was at its all-time high. That share would not be BRK-A and worth $625,700
