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'm curious how this has performed recently. Last post I saw on it was from Nov-21

Pretty badly lately. Do you want details?

As always, it's a matter of trying to decide whether it's the cycle or the trend.
Zero-dividend medical stocks have NOT been the flavour of the day for a while.

Very quick check, don't hold me to this,
Jan 2020 through Aug 2023
S&P about 11%/year
No-div 15 stock version about 2%/year
With-div 15 stock version about 8.5%/year

Most of the bad returns May-Aug 2023. Maybe just random variation, maybe not.
