The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", mungofitch asked the members: "As for why the purchases stopped (for a while), perhaps the recent acquisition was seen to be somewhat counter to the capital allocation plans that Mr Buffett thought had been promised?" 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.

my memory of the book wasn't good enough to catch the error.

I understand!

But, oh! Such an excellent time of year to begin a reread and freshen the memory, not to mention, discover things never previously considered on any prior read. I've been reading The Lord of the Rings, plus The Hobbit, plus The Silmarillion, roughly every 3 years since high school. So roughly 15 readings. And I usually start on Bilbo and Frodo's shared September 22 birthday. Great time to go "on an adventure," as Bilbo says in The Hobbit movie (but not in the book).

I love to read the greats multiple times. I tell people, "No man ever steps in the same book twice, for although it's the same book, he's not the same man."
