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.

@carsdude,

Sorry to hear about your health issues and wish you all the best in getting treatment for them.

If you are worried about single stock/ management transition (more important than Warren->Greg is Ajit->new guy transition IMO), then option 1 is best. The federal cap gains taxes have been as low as ever have been in my life time, and you say that you live in a zero tax state. Moreover, I think the tax rates rate likely to go up in the future.

You could keep the proceeds in ST T-bills and slowly diversify over a period of time into a broader market index. The S&P is clearly overvalued IMO at these levels, so an equal weighted index like RSP may make more sense.
