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.

So if you sold in the low $400s some time ago at a point of then high valuation… and you’re waiting for undervaluation you might very well have to pay $650 in a few years when it may be very cheap. Who knows?

You know, this does not apply just to Berkshire stock but S&P 500 or any broad market index.

Zweig made fun of Cramer thrusting his hips at Buffett during the tech stock runup in 1997-1999. I think the last laugh is on Cramer the idiot savant.

None of us is smart enough to know which specific stock will beat the market in the long run. If you want to delude yourself like Munger did with BABA, go ahead. I am out. I know it's not Berkshire Hathaway.
