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.

"In a world facing rapid change from AI, it's the things that won't change that you want to build on and invest in.

Personally I'm more concerned about investment climate impacts than investment AI impacts.
Not hurricane losses, which insurers can price incrementally, but more indirect things.
Am I invested in any businesses that are at material risk of a very bad impact? Critical dependency on facilities at flood risk or water availability? Non obvious consequences of widespread migration and conflict?

A random example: Brookfield has a lot of assets in Manhattan and London at low elevations.
Much of the Isle of Dogs, home to Canary Wharf properties, is at an elevation of 2-4m AMSL.
The small true eponymous Canary Wharf area is higher.
A sea level rise of 10m is "already baked in", much of it from thermal expansion, though it will take a very long while. I'm a short term investor, in that context.
