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.

I could not agree more with everything you wrote, because it’s what Buffett and Munger have taught us. No one wants to believe what Buffett and Munger have repeatedly professed. But it’s exactly what you have shared.

I get such a strong yearning to sell when it got to the absurd price of 500. But today it hit 530.

I played a little mental game. What if I don't sell today, what might it be in 10 years?

Well, what was it 10 years ago?
$141
Oh, what was it today? 530?

What was it when I retired in 2006?
$64

So if we go by past history, what is it likely to be in 10 years, 2035?
Low end maybe $1165.
High end maybe $2000.

Yeah..... $2000 is what BRK (now BRK-A) was when I had $2000 in my IRA and passed it because it was crazy to buy one share of a stock with everything in the IRA.
