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.

Next time everything goes to hell, will you really have more faith in Greg than the collective wisdom in SPY?

Well, yes. I don't see much value in the collective wisdom of SPY. I remember how hard it drilled during the GFC.

I don't see a whole lot of difference:

Both SPY and BRK.b were down over 50% at some point during the GFC.

And we're being thrashed by SPY since 1/1/2008:

It's not up to Greg. The market does what the market does.
