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.

Just started scratching the surface of VRSN. Only a couple Perplexity queries. Far more interesting story than i was expecting.

Any VRSN experts hanging around with commentary on the BRK investment? According to Dataroma history we've done pretty darn well with this small-sized investment. Patiently and kinda stealthy.

Is it Todd or Ted? Kudos.

The company is a toll bridge...WEB's favorite model.

From Perplexity: <Verisign does indeed hold exclusive rights to the .com domain as the designated registry operator. This means that Verisign manages the authoritative database of all .com domain names and is responsible for maintaining the infrastructure that supports them.>

I would be interested in others opinion of our ownership. And....is it on anyone's personal radar? Price doesn't seem too outrageous. Priced like a internet utility, perhaps?

Potential Gov hands on a company with this much tollway feels kind of ominous.

Happy holidays.
