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.

Are you kidding me????
$482!!
Up another 6.


Indeed, quite the rally. $1.037 trillion already, the trillion mark is so last week. The difference is $37 billion--that used to be a big number.

Price-to-last-known-book 1.724. That's 23.2% above the 20 year average price-to-peak-book, so somewhat higher than usual: only 12 trading days closed at higher multiples since March 7 2008. At the average multiple since Jan 2008, the price per B share right now would be $102 lower.

A:B ratio is 1499.77, so perhaps a slight hint of a "B heavy" move? In any case, I think the momentum boys have climbed on board for a little while, Berkshire is now rallying even a bit more than other insurers.
