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.

Changes to the Dow Industrials could be coming this year, and the two most obvious candidates for admission are Google parent Alphabet and Amazon.com . Other possible entrants are Berkshire Hathaway and Tesla. It has been more than three years since the last component changes to the index.
If the index committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices does change Dow Industrials components this year, other candidates for removal besides Walgreens include Travelers, Verizon Communications , and Intel. S&P Dow Jones Indices doesn’t comment on potential changes to its indexes.
Travelers could be the next-most-vulnerable Dow member for removal after Walgreens because it has the second-lowest market value, and the insurance industry doesn’t have outsize importance in the stock market.
