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.

People have given up on MI, gave up with the Fool site change, follow screens they like without posting any longer as a result, disappeared for unknown reason, died, and many screens simply ceased to beat an index fund (or with too much risk for many people).

Few (relative to the old days) new screens are posted or discussed but some are, and some of those have updates to results with lists of screens from a few people nice enough to do calculations or use Robbie's tester (or both) but I don't keep links so you can do a board search and find those postings. I didn't look up the relative dates of when you were active but a number of active issues ceased being active if you were here back in Keelix' times, Jim's, active WER crossover postings, some Robbie tester down periods, the "Ride the Wave" time period or others, and some moved on to their personal boards or other Fool boards for their discussions. Mostly I think many people got tired of MI in general, and those who liked it have found screens they like without the need for much new discussion about them.
