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.

Same, we could be 250bn in cash by the end of the year earning 5.5% and waiting for a few good opportunities around the corner (looking to deploy say 25-30bn at a time) into US large caps.

Why Apple..?

*Decline in fundamentals.
*Perceived geopolitical risk, he clearly is not a fan of China vs Charlie
*Big run up and current valuation.
*Low future returns over the next 3 years, (compared to the 5.5% on cash)
*Opportunity to redeploy and buy in a downturn, Apple is a big chunk @ 50% of portfolio.

Look at the Buffett indicator.linked below. (Strongly Overvalued)
currentmarketvaluation.com - Buffett indicator.

When you look at all the above it's just common sense really isn't it?
