The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", mungofitch asked the members: "As for why the purchases stopped (for a while), perhaps the recent acquisition was seen to be somewhat counter to the capital allocation plans that Mr Buffett thought had been promised?" 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.

IP theft is obviously NOT a good business model with Spankee.

Look what happened when Spankee Blubber was hacked. NO SECURITY tells you how valuable they considered it to be.

The hackers may have to pay to have the information taken back.
