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.

As you know Manlobbi I questioned the valuation that you were giving BPY and to some degree all the Brookfield entities. But while thus far my questioning has appeard completly correct I've been completely incorrect over the longer period of time as to my Bruce Flatt concerns- at least as it evidenced by the current stock price of what's now BN and BAM.

But the questioning of that sort of thing to me is insignificant compared to the off-topic nature of the former Berkshire board. So...

I write to mention that the past MF Berkshire board repetedly became a Musk/Bezos (and others) Tesla/Amazon and others meeting place, that there was near total focus on how out-of-it Buffett was as to buying OXY instead of or as opposed to the hot stuff of the time. I just hope we can stay off such a focus with the new board.

Anyway I think it will be all you can handle to keep things under control and I wish you luck in doing so!

I have a Brascan stock certificate at in the window of my reading nook proped up against the wall with a boat propeller. I mention here from time to time that my association with Brookfield began 28 years ago. But that's actually not the case, it began in the late 1970's. LOL, things were always fantastic with Brascan.

LOL. Have a great day.
