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.

I view it quite differently: Ithink 2026 is far more comparable to 2000 than to 2008.

Sorry if my post made the impression I see it comparable to 2008. The thread was about those two crashes and I only tried to present as neutral as possible how differently Berkshire behaved in them.


I just don't think 2008 is the appropriate historical analogy for an AI bubble.

Me neither if I had to choose, seeing the situation far more comparable to 2000 than 2008. But contrary to then Berkshire is not heavily undervalued so I wouldn´t expect it to rise, definitely not as dramatic as then.
