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.

I, for one, would like to have reasonable political discussion over there, but every post I make even slightly critical of the Democrats is shouted down by all the whataboutism. ~AdriaC

I would also love to have a sensible political discussion over there, but every post I make even slightly critical of Trump is met with Strawmen Attacks and Hasty Generalizations! (See above, LOL)
My apologies for another OT post, this will be my last!...

To bring it back around,
BRK is currently trading at 1.45X book

While S&P500 is currently trading at:
Shiller P/E 42,
Div Yield 1.03%,
Price/Sales 3.74,
P/E 32
Buffett Indicator = 235% In the classic 2001 Fortune interview, Buffett noted that when this ratio approaches the 200% threshold, investors are "playing with fire".

I know which one I'd rather hold going forward!
