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.

...20% in 6 weeks?

One interesting thing is that the gain is spread around the growth/tech zone, it's not just the usual suspects of a few giants.

The Nasdaq 100 equal weight index and ETF (QQQE) are up 18.73% since March 30 (5-6 weeks), so that's in effect the average return among all 100 constituents. Though not really that rare, it's a big number.

Does that size of move make sense?
It's absolutely certain that the average value of those firms has not risen that much in such a short time frame. So either they were (on average) at least 15.6% undervalued around the end of March, or they're (on average) overvalued now.
