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.

Try replacing your Y axis values of "real book per share" with "log of real book per share", and *then* do a linear fit.

The Y-axis is the log of real book value. (I subtracted a constant to make it easier to see on my graphing program.)
I'll be away for a bit, but when I get back maybe I'll see if the percentage changes have increased or not. I want to redo the whole thing when EOY 2022 values are available anyway. I'd be happy to send that spreadsheet to you or anyone else that wants to check my work. (Actually, I'd like to have someone check it.) I'll post my updated results in early February after Berkshire reports.
