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.

Did the peak Book change with the newest data, or is it still the one from Jan. 2022?
If I am not mistaken BV currently is around $227, so practically identical to that PeakBV of $230. With the current price of $323 Price/PeakBV is 1.42, return-wise in the lower middle range of Jim's table - - - to which I don't have a link, but below is a copy of his post:


First column is the average price-to-peak-book in that bucket. Each bucket is 1/20th of the observation start dates.
Second column is the average real one year return starting with a P/peakB in that bucket.
Third column is my smoothing of that data.
(I did a linear fit, and a cubic fit, and averaged those two results)
