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.

In 2006 I suggested that the Buffett donation agreement should be amended to include a provision that Brk would have the, right of first refusal, to buy all or a portion of Gates Foundation sales. Obviously Brk should have also authorized a buyback, at material discounts to IV in 2006 as well, as I suggested at that time. I wonder where brkb would be trading today if Brk had bought back all Gates foundation sales to date? Oh well, I do know those unforced errors cost me a lot of money. Some day someone might ask Buffett what he was thinking back then, we know Becky will never ask him.
