The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" 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.

They have a record since 1999 first with 10 year returns and then 7 year expected returns. So have have 20 years of returns which met their timelines and if you know how dramatically and they were wrong from 2019 even a bear market bottom would not help them much with their forecasts since.

They were spectacularly right for about 3 of those 20 in 1999, 2000, 2000. They got it right at the bottom in 2009 but were prematurely bearish afterwards. So they are something like 4 "wins" to "22" losses. The losses were not simple losses but spectacularly wrong in magnitude.

They are the definition of investment porn. If Kathie Woods is amateur porn, GMO is expensive studio quality porn.
