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 was just watching a talk about stock market trend of US vs Global stocks. Recorded Feb 20, 2026, so before the Iran hoo-hah.
What he said is that US market spills over to non-US market.

So I went to yahoo and pulled up the chart of VTI & VEA -- Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI) and Vanguard FTSE Developed Markets ETF (VEA).
Then added BRK-B to the chart. Oof.

Then did some googling, and came up with "The correlation between VEA and VTI is 0.83, which is considered to be high. That indicates a strong relationship between their price movements."
