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.

“To repeat, adverse storm events are slightly adverse in the short term and usually quite profitable in the long term for Berkshire.”

That’s my take as well from WEB’s commentary over the years. Short-term pain but long-term gain for the Strong.

We have no interest in owning a coastal house but love the Gulf & Atlantic beaches. My buddy in Clearwater,FL area moved 15 miles from Belair to right on the bay (sunsets are truly spectacular) and his rates on the new house are 3x what they were vs. his more inland house which he sold a year ago. He has chosen not to have flood insurance. My brother says his homeowners premium on his coastal GA home on the marsh is now over twice his Nashville primary residence.
