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.

Addendum: Sorry, but I want to add a few more words about the man himself, as with his near lifelong companion gone I am afraid .......

Warren for me is far more than the most successful (or not; what does it really matter) investor. I utterly love his moral compass.

Not just towards his "partners". Be it his stance towards family planning; towards investments in companies his moral compass forbids/abhors; towards his and his secretaries taxes and especially his extreme stance towards inheritance tax ("Gene Lottery").

I fully share all those views --- and find it incredible that he unwavering stood by them during his meteoric rise.


P.S.: Please, refrain from commenting on the issues I just mentioned. I know they are highly divisive in the US and the very last I want is to ignite a heated political debate (for that there is an own board). All I say above is just about expressing my very personal admiration for the man, and I am aware and respect that you may have a very different opinion regarding the mentioned issues.
