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 three bear catchers remain firmly in the grip of a bullish run...

Hard to believe when the market -- and all the high momentum Nasdaq 100 stocks -- have been going down and down and down.

Yet it is in agreement with the latest from Ken Fisher "Euphoric Market Tops Have This Telltale Sign" YouTube: Euphoric Market Tops Have This Telltale Sign (Fisher Investments)

John Templeton's famous line that, "Bull markets are born on pessimism,
grow on skepticism, mature on optimism and die on euphoria."

But when you get euphoria, you get something else that hasn't happened yet.
And that's a creation of entities going public that are specifically created to take advantage of the froth. The creation of securities and companies aimed to take advantage of the eagerness of investors to put money into something that's hot.

So what do you do? What you do is you look for that.
You don't look for the big companies that have been around a lot, whose names we'd already known. [Like SPACEX.] You look for the little ones going public you never heard of before that have a jazzy story, but haven't actually done very much. That's what euphoria is.
