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 enough, I trimmed a bit today ; filled @ $472.66

Ha! I hear ya!! I wanted to unload so much more and missed my limit price around 486 or so. Congrats to someone earlier who bailed out completely in his tax deferred accounts @ 484 or so! Well played!! It’s so psychologically difficult selling. And instead, I was thumb sucking again. “Be fearful, when others are greedy,” so, I pushed my luck, and ignored Buffett’s counsel, once again. I have a feeling there will be some momentum now on the downside. I know logic tells me that I can still unload, because today was also another good price. But, as per my usual habit, I’ll simply sit on my -ss, and do nothing for awhile. I tend to make few decisions. It’s that 20 punch thing, I guess…I’m afraid of compounding an error, with another error, so I step back and vacillate.
