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.

Funny... my father received a phD in physics from Stanford in 1973. A few of his colleagues in the department went on to join Intel in the early 1970's when it was only several years old. They became wealthy because of that decision. I remember that sometime before the huge 2000-1 bubble ,they told my father they were selling out of the company because they did not believe in its future. That sell price must have been less than $10 per share and there was probably only one, maybe two, more 2:1 splits were left in its future. Seeing the current share price, it seems they were right, and there were substantially far better investments for the next 25 years.
