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.

More than 20 years ago I had a little money in NoLoadFundX and went to a seminar where Janet Brown talked about using a simple momentum method for investing. At the time I had a complex strategy that was doing better but only worked for a few years. Could have stayed with FundX and done almost as well as I’ve done and saved myself several thousand hours of effort.

But in all seriousness, you would not have had as much fun. If someone uses all these charts and is on his death bed and someone says, you did slightly worse than the S and P, as long as he had fun, it does not matter.
