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.

I agree with you that it is great firm. I have not checked upon the proportion of their value that comes from their vast library of classic media, but arguably it will have a reduced value with so much attention upon Youtube and (genuinely high value) non-mainstream producers. Even as late as, say, 2005 you had no choice but to turn to the big publishers, so the value of their 'library' would have been higher at that time.

>P.S. I don't think BRK has ever owned DIS. Wonder why.

In 1969, Buffett purchased a large position (for him at that time) of Disney for $4 million. Then, just a year late he sold the entire stake for $6 million, however! He was clearly a fast gun in those days! :)
