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.

I think I've seen this same post (or something very similar) regularly for the last twenty four years. I think it needs a name. I suggest "The annual double-down." We're behind now boys but if we keep doubling the bet eventually we'll come out on top..... tech companies.

We? Maybe you. I am not. My since decades never below 60% of net assets in Berkshire not only did very well but gave me the ability to sleep well while playing with other stocks and speculating with options. Would Cathy's ARKK, the Nasdaq or even (today's) S&P give me the same good sleep? How much is that worth in $ or %?
