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.

Thinking about Marc Hamburg the CFO for 40 years. WOW, a front row seat to the Super Bowl of business. Besides the accounting issues and cash management he handled securities trades. A few people on this site over the years have mentioned correspondence with him. Has he ever given an interview or talk? Does anyone now more about him. Should we invite him to participate in Shrewd'm? Would that be interesting. Maybe he'll write a book, not gossip but back stories. Like how was it decided to write down Precast Parts? Does Warren just come up with a number or is it discussed and if so with who. Is it suggested that conservative accounting policies be used or is it a requirement? Maybe if we all request that his experiences and history not be forgotten he would write a book or at least do a long podcast.
