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 intend to (and already did) copy Jim a little who once said his CAGR with BRK since around 2000 is 24.x% (that's how I remember it: probably not too far off) by using leverage: Buying calls when PeakPB/Price is low, puts when it's high, based on his observation that the typical range is 1.2-1.55 (just once in 20 years much lower than 1.2).

As 1.2/1.55 is rare: Surely Jim did analyze that in depth and has numbers for the different intervals, kind of 'Since 2000 3% of the time it traded at 1.2-1.3, 5% at 1.3-1.5' or similar. Generous as he is Jim probably once posted such numbers. As after his 83 days holiday he should not be immediatedly overwhelmed with requests: Does anybody has his numbers (link to his old post or the numbers themselves)?
