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.

We hit 1.7x book value, we are simply reverting back to a more historical valuation range, many will attribute this to a 'change' of some sort. Maybe so, maybe not.

For those of us who are long time holders, and future long time holders should relish this. Many will point to Buffett handing this off to Abel as a catalyst, or the Kraft write-down, or whatever, just trying to find some kind of narrative to fit price action.

We have 300 plus billion of cash on the side, I want it down and hard.
