Re: 2024-Q1 Earnings

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.

Nice! Thanks for the data tecmo. Hope they keep focused, trimming the fat & kicking tail. Interesting they started a small dividend, as did Meta, which I have mixed feelings. Would just prefer more buybacks at current valuation.

Very happy holding onto the stock (3rd largest position behind BRK & AAPL), but I sold my DITM June’24 95 strike calls purchased nearly 2 years ago (stock was around $110), as we are in the draw down phase. Wish I had bought more!
