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.

Klarman is complaining about stretched valuations using the market's P/E ratio as a metric. This is a backward-looking figure that is useless for predicting forward year returns and its particularly useless for valuing the growth stocks that dominate the index.

Why time the market? People in their wealth-building years should keep dollar cost averaging into an index fund every month. Especially if they have a 401K. People who are retired should have a majority allocation in an index fund plus an amount in cash or bonds that covers their living expenses for a few years.
