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.

These results included after-tax investment gains of $30.7 billion and $8.7 billion in after-tax impairment charges related to Kraft Heinz and Occidental Petroleum.

Just a side note - the OXY portion of that impairment was $4.5bn. The market value of the OXY common is up $3.7bn since the end of December valuation date for the impairment. Presumably the warrants (almost in the money now) have also risen in market value quite a bit.

It's always hard to tell when an impairment is "other than temporary".
