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.

Nobdoy knows is right. I am not sure it will skyrocket but it is in a zone of reasonableness and trying to buy in and out isn't easy.

I think on average your best bet is to sell what you need for the next month (if you need it) and let the rest ride. Maybe sell off 2-5 months if it runs really high but I don't think it is that bad to hold this up to the 1.8-2.0x BV range.

Where do you think it will be in 18 months? That's what really matters for 95% of your holdings. The market can be slightly irrational for a long time. In fact it is probably that more often than not.

Just hold the darn thing. :)
