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.

^^ So Buffett was willing to pay $15.8 billion in income taxes for the privilege of selling $97 billion of equities. I know we are dealing with very large numbers here, and managing them can cause very large results; but if you were to make a list of Buffett-like and Buffett-unlike activities – voluntarily entering into a transaction that would require cutting a $15.8 billion check to the taxing authorities would safely fit into the Buffett-unlike column. When someone has spoken before about tax paying efficiencies suddenly executes in a very tax inefficient manner, I think it means something. ^^

It is great to see you back EliasFardo. It seems everyone is at Shrewd'm now. I have really enjoyed your posts over the years.
