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.

Good luck for both of you.

Thanks. Good luck to you too. We'll look back in 3 - 5 years to see how it would unfold.

I much prefer a market crash or a bruising bear market. It would make it so much easier to find bargains. Yet I have no consistent track record of being able to predict near term market behavior in any degree of accuracy. I can only focus on finding good COMPANIES which I judge are selling at reasonable price. I normally pick 5 - 10 stocks in the entire market universe to put 90%+ of my investment money.

p.s. mungofitch still sees DG as screaming bargains (I'm not taking a view on whether it'll be eventually right or wrong). So should one stays out of the "overpriced" market until market valuation under X% of GDP (choose your number) or dive in for the bargain prospect?
