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.

Disagree with Jim's non-Berkshire suggestions is not disrespect, it is disagreeing and only that.

As far as suggestions, given the old board and this new one, I've been hyping the insurance brokers AJG and BRO for 25 plus years. Instead? We go to things like Amazon and Tesla, then to Dollar General and CarMax.

It is what it is, nothing more.

The board for the most part is excellent with Berkshire stock and Jim leads that charge with skills and success. Elsewhere? The stocks the board obssesses over are royal frigging disaters.

But not those insurance brokers. Life is great...if you can stand it.

Are we here to make money? Or is that just a sideline to subgroups forming to play sides?
