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.

Can someone explain to me why the market is going up like a rocket?

1st gratuitous snarky comment (sorry): Because there are more buyers than sellers.

Does the "why" matter?

Ken Fisher says that the market takes into account all known information. My guess is that the market sees the outcome of the Iran situation to be beneficial to the US. And to the world in general. There's a bunch of substacks where people go into this in depth.

People in general, and more specifically rich people, love making money more than they love hating some guy. IMHO

Just keep in mind: "Everything is a lie."

FWIW, I'm looking for a pullback so I can load up on SSO again.
