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.

I'm not Jim and the below doesn't replicate his signals. That said: my hack "extreme short term bottom" has thrown a 2 out of 3 signal the last 3 days in a row - on percent above moving averages.

When these extreme levels happen it's *usually* before a short term bounce - as Jim's mentioned. We have no way of predicting whether it's the final bottom (the first is unlikely to be the last) or the last.

FWIW I have put a mere 6% back in hoping for that bounce this week.
