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.

There was a comment on another thread that reminded me about something I wanted to post.

This comment - Lastly, Warren had the cult of personality and demonstrable track record to attract sellers of their businesses to Berkshire. from here - longtimebrk replies on Value of BHE

Now that WEB has announced his [partial] departure, I wonder if there are owners of medium sized businesses that he's been in touch with over the years (decades) who have always considered selling their businesses to Berkshire at some point. If so, I further wonder if he might want to close the deals over the next few months/years before he can't do it (or at least be part of doing it) himself anymore.

Maybe we will see an assortment of small to medium size acquisitions coming?
