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.

in the spirit of ''misery loves company'', i could just about have written '38Packard's post , except that i only put in about 3.75K of play money which now sits at $264.

the sad part is that i knew it was a bad idea at the time, but got swept up with the technology and the graphs of their performance over fica alone. that, and every time i passed on it (because it was ridiculously overpriced).....it kept going up. : >)

i still think they may have a chance of having their technology validated and accepted over time and if that's the case, becoming quite profitable...someday.

having violated rule #2......

best,

mike
