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.

Buffett offered Partnership shares in Berkshire in 1965 at $11.50 per share. Seabury Stanton famously sent Warren the paper work made out for 12.5 cents light.

Around 1971 the share price first hit $60.

1983 $600
1989 $6,000
1998 $60,000
2024 $600,000

It’s has never been too late to ride the Berkshire Hathaway train.

Next big milestone: $1 Trillion dollars market capitalisation only 13.6%, or $120 Billion away. In this market, that should be doable by the AGM!
