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.

I wonder if Buffett’s healthy enough to handle this, I’m not sure I am? Dems don’t understand the risk to this news? For anyone who has had to deal with the SEC, Nasd, the states division of securities, etc, it’s off the charts insane that this isn’t in the major news. Imagine if Dems actually understood how dangerous and horrific this is? “ As of August 2025, Donald Trump's media company, Trump Media & Technology Group (which trades under the ticker DJT on the Nasdaq), has accumulated approximately $2 billion in Bitcoin and related securities. 
This investment is part of the company's Bitcoin treasury plan, announced in May, aiming to increase financial flexibility, protect against potential financial discrimination, and create synergies with a planned utility token for the Truth Social platform. The Bitcoin holdings represent about two-thirds of the company's liquid assets. 
This move marks a shift in approach from Trump, who previously expressed skepticism about cryptocurrencies. The company plans to continue acquiring Bitcoin and also has set aside $300 million for an options acquisition strategy for Bitcoin-related securities. In related news, a cryptocurrency mining company linked to the Trump family, American Bitcoin, is exploring acquisitions in Asia to further boost its Bitcoin holdings. 
“ The Teflon Don, aka, Don owns over 100 million shs of djt. Connections the dots.
