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.

We are somewhat heavily concentrated in Berkshire...about 30% of net worth and 45% of investable assests. It's the only individual equity we own (to any significant degree, that is). Other stuff includes VTI and VXUS that I'm happy to keep our 403b which is invested in a target date fund.

Partly to make life a little more interesting and partly to diversify a bit, I would like to start building a position in one other equity (or maybe two). I would like for it to be Berkshire-esque. From reading this board and its predecessor, the names I keep coming back to are Brookfield (BN and BAM) and Markel. Would these be as good as any for what I want to do?
