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.

The fund is only trying to double BRK.B's return for a single day. Investors who hold the ETF for more than one day may get a return that is more, or less, than double the return of the stock over the same period.
...
Hence the warning in the prospectus that "investors should not plan to hold shares of the Fund unmonitored for periods longer than a single trading day."
...
"designed to be utilized only by sophisticated investors, such as traders and active investors employing dynamic strategies."


Yet there is this: testfol.io: Portfolio Backtester for ETFs and Asset Allocation

Of course, it helps that this period was a long bull market.
