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.

Obviously it depends on you as an individual, with time horizon, risk appetite/aversion, goals, needs, greed and fear ...

To which add that the reason there are so many web sites and widgets out there to help you with this, plus lots of real humans working at brokerages and financial management companies, is that people who are not experienced investors DO NOT ACTUALLY KNOW the answers to such questions, at least not off the top of their heads.

I would start by talking with the real humans: find one who has experience with such matters and see what they have to say. Your brokerage certainly employs such people. Don't bother with anything on line (except this board, of course!). The information required to get any traction on this problem isn't stuff you want to be posting on the web.

I will also add that no power on earth could get me to bet money on anything John Hussman has to say.
