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.

For those with US retirement accounts that do not allow options trading, do you think a comparable strategy would be selling BRK shares at the current price levels and buying a money market fund (VSUXX currently has a 5.30% yield) until a future opportunity arises with lower BRK valuations?

From an analysis of average forward returns from current BRK price/book levels, I believe we might be at or near the point where a 5.30% yield would beat what one would expect BRK to do in the next year, based on averages (noting of course that averages can conceal a whole lot of variation.) And without the risk.
