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 don't have exact numbers and it would be complicated to get the details, but in general when I first purchased MSFT it was about 2% of my portfolio and then after the first set of purchases grew to about 10%, now it just over 15%

GOOG is now about the same level as MSFT.

BTW: I generally keep about 50% in index funds + BRK.

Also, my very first purchase of GOOG was in April of 2020, but it wasn't really a big holding until I loaded up as listed in this post. 15% is what I consider a concentrated position, and having 30% in both MSFT and GOOG is making me think about mixing things up a bit... I have held MSFT at that level for a while so who knows...

My portfolio can be summarized as

INDEX      : 35%
BRK : 15%
MSFT : 15%
GOOG : 15%
Other : 20%

Some of the other stuff : DG, AMZN, ADP, DIS, LULU, AAPL, ...

Hope that helps.
