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.

SOUND $ returning

It may return as a desire, even as a goal, but may not return as a reality. The best way to have a sound dollar is fiscal and monetary restraint---not to let deficits, debt, and the money supply explode. Stated policies seem more in the reverse direction.

As a non-US person investing in the US, I rather expect a falling dollar as a baseline - with inflation picking up as both cause and effect of that. A stock may go from $100 to $110 while the dollar's purchasing power goes from 0.93 to 0.84, making it a wash for wealth.
