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.

1978 I started as a Geologist/Geophysicist with a Tulsa based company called Cities Service. They trained me, sent me to Denver but didn't pay well, so I moved on. Those who stayed for job security were mostly laid off when Oxy took over. They closed the Denver office. I bounced around the industry but did fine.

A guy named Buffett told me not to invest in oil stocks. The price of the stock just tracks the price of oil. If you know where that is going, invest in commodity futures.

Now most of my nest egg is invested with the Buffett guy. It has done well so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. That, and I appreciate how much long term production is in the Permian Basin.
