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.

From Barrons,

" he S&P 500 continues to struggle with its round-number challenge, having failed to close north of the 7000 point mark since first testing that historic threshold in late October.

 
For a $62 trillion market to trade virtually sideways over the next three and a half months, while rival indexes in Europe, the UK, and Japan continue to test new highs, is unusual. But not unsurprising. The vast majority of the S&P 500’s gains since the launch of OpenAI’s ChatGPT in late November 2022, which fired the starter’s pistol on the artificial intelligence investment boom, have been powered by a handful of stocks inexorably tied to the new technology. "

SPY is liquid, Buffett knows how hard it is to beat SPY, why bother to try to beat it 12 years ago with T and T? Why not take his own advice?

Yo Jim, please name the last three significant buy and holds from Buffett that do not pay a dividend.

Thank you.
