Shrewd'm: A Merry and Shrewd Investing Research and Education Community

The week's question

In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" 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.

Shrewd'm keeps going because people answer each other. A reply to a first post is the single most useful thirty seconds anyone can spend here, and it is why the place is still standing after thirty years.
