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.

Out of curiousity, does the timing of trades generally impact the logic of screens? I've meant to ask before, but it's the holding period that is more important, right? Trading for example, mid-month should not be inherently different than on the last day of the month, correct? (beyond any minor effects of certain timing periods that may or may not be signficant)
I ask as a reality check - is there an actual significant benefit to trading at the end of the month or is it just a convention to more easily be able to crunch data sets and talk about them?
