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.

this seems pretty typical for when brookfield notches a win when having control stake.
first, they buy cheap, second they bring 'enough' operational improvements.
third, also like the westinghouse case, they buy into a secular trend during cyclical pessimism.


it's too difficult to predict what trump\MAGA may end up doing, especially if there is nothing in it for friends&family.
but more resilience is great.

on a sidenote: it was also impressive that brookfield recently abandoned pursuit of grifols, for anyone familiar with that company's long disastrous capital allocation history and current situation.
