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.

People need the "interest rate" to come down.

They don't want to pay the high "interest rate"

So when rates go down, and prices - go up -- they'll strike themselves a bargain.

And their home insurance premium will be based on the higher purchase price, not the lower one.

But their "interest rate" will be better.

And as an aside, housing prices got a bit ahead of themselves for awhile there - -there's that too and finally, pope not in Club 401K Ville -- including some in Clubv 401K Ville ---are strapped for cash.

All of this plus "interest rate" savvy ---leads you to this. For now.
