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.

Calculate using 10% CAGR, 15% tax, over 20 years.
Pay tax each year, $100 grows to $511
Pay tax at end, $100 grows to $672, minus 15% of the $572 gain = $587.


The relevant question is, what is the CAGR drag from completely giving up the ability ever to change investments for 20 years?
For the average dentist, trades would add no value on average and LTBH is likely the best approach. Like most people, I think I can make a few judicious changes from time to time.
