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.

Enjoyed this read and happened to be in Omaha as well:

Warren Buffett Shocked 31,000 Shareholders And Taught a Brilliant Lesson in Leadership

Excerpt:

“…For six decades, Buffett has been celebrated as one of the greatest investors of all time. But his final lesson may have little to do with capital allocation or valuation models. It’s a lesson in leadership maturity.

The mark of greatness is when your organization thrives in your absence. Ego seeks to be remembered. Legacy seeks to endure. And Buffett, even as he steps off the stage, chose legacy.

As my wife and I stood with 30,000 others giving Buffett a standing ovation, the room vibrated with gratitude. It wasn’t just applause for a legendary investor.

It was a tribute to a leader who understood that the truest test of greatness is what you leave behind. Being in that room, watching history turn a page in real time, was a privilege I’ll never forget.”
