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.

“How far did these things drop in the dot-com bust, GFC and Covid?”

I see QQQE was not around yet in GFC times, but it dropped about 32% in 2021 for whatever reason and about 30% during Covid.

Looks like RSP dropped around 57% from highs in 2007 to 2009, and around 32% during Covid. Man, it’s been so long since the GFC I forgot about the pain of those 50% drops.

And yeah, I had some cash and big plans to buy during the GFC, but I mostly chickened out.

“ Well that sent me down a “Notes from the Circus” rabbit hole, so thanks, I think...“

Haha. Right.
