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.

"again, as I've commented earlier: while Warren's capital allocation is of course superb/legendary, he's been a less than perfect judge of character in the past".

Given the 50+ years of business dealings, companies acquired, longevity of the CEO's staying aboard, the composition of board members, and office staff that make up the culture of Berkshire Hathaway, it is correct that he has been "less than perfect" but he has been a most spectacular judge of character nonetheless. For someone who built a business from the ground up, and experienced the shock of "how could he done that" too many times to count, I am in awe of his record.
