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 never suggested that Brk should be a high yielder. I know for a fact that globally there are investors, funds, institutions etc that can not or will not buy a non dividend paying stock. Now that Apple, meta, Goog, etc pay a small dividend it’s very obvious I was correct 20 years ago. A small dividend would have increased demand for brk. Perhaps Apple, Mets, and Goog are all stupid but I doubt it. Buffett can be very anal with respect to tax avoidance. He was willing to watch his life’s work sold via the foundations at or slightly above book for many years. He gave away a portion of his life’s work much to cheap. An authorized buyback at material discounts to IV and a very small dividend in 2004 or so would have increased demand for the common ,period. Why did the bullies and goons want me off the fools board? Several were managing money, and still do , they didn’t want anyone to question Buffett’s wisdom or brilliance. A few of the most vicious dangerous fools were jealous that our group of private investors in a private chat group excluded them for various reasons. I spent a lot of time trying to convince ghu to stop posting and to delete the fools app, he wouldn’t listen. Sweet guy who was sharper then half the clowns posting back then, believe me. Too bad he let the goons get to him. Hey jad are you out there? Sent from my cell phone, read at your own risk.
