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.

In regards to possible tax law changes I think you're definitely skating to where the puck is going. If the Democrats were to win the Presidency and take control of the House and Senate (they are already close to doing that) we should all be prepared for significant tax law changes to be passed. They could even increase the tax on companies buying back stock. In any case BRK initiating a small dividend would not even put a dent in the yearly cash flow. Has Warren ever turned down a dividend payment from a company that he owns stock in?
