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.

Berkshire Hathaway: 2025 News Menu I went back 20 years to try to find a comparable press release in tone to "False Social Media Reports" on Friday and couldn't. The current cash position and that press release are not SOP at Berkshire.

Warren Buffett has not traded minor swings in the market in size as long as I have been watching him, and I seriously doubt he is doing so now. The Dow was at 45k at the beginning of February, and right now futures are pointing to an opening of 37.5k or only a 16.7% pullback. Rebuilding positions at this level would barely cover the costs associated with exiting them.

If he thought this was only a short term dislocation, he would not have sold in the way he did.
