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.

" Berkshire is a big position in cap weighted indexes which have been rising strongly, so it's tracking the market exactly as you'd expect. No mystery at all. There is no evidence whatsoever of a particular fondness for Berkshire shares this year, relative to anything else."
