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.

“Maybe invest a decent chunk of the money now (if you plan to hold for at least 10 years), maybe 20-40%. Then make regular smaller periodic investments…”

I actually did this with the bulk of some inheritance money starting in Sept. 2015- invested half in Berkshire immediately, then monthly for 6 months until fully invested. FYI- P/B started 1.3 and ended 1.35 however price Did dip up to 4-5% during those 6 months. I honestly did not dive into P/B back then, I simply knew Berkshire would be a long term holding and wanted to add sooner than later. (FYI, initial A shares were 195K then, return to date +252% gain).
