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.

Speaking of Charlie, is this quote reported on Twitter really true?

"Charlie Munger: 'I regard Alibaba as one of the worst mistakes I've ever made.'"
X (Twitter): Tren Griffin on X: "Charlie Munger: "I regard Alibaba as one of the worst mistakes I've ever made."" / X

Not that I necessarily disagree with the notion, but the quote seems to be a bit implausible at first blush.
Mr Munger usually has pretty firm conviction about his decisions.

(note also who replied to the tweet)

Yet again on the notion of his staying in character, National Post gives this quote:
"Munger says he used 'a little bit of leverage' for recent investment in alibaba; says most people should avoid leverage but not everybody..."

Yet another snipped also from the Post:
'I think people who oppose my position are idiots,'
Now, that one has the ring of truth to it.
Good on him--I too am never at a loss for an opinion.

Jim
