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 think the answer was just given in the "Today's Barron's..." thread by

Mungofitch: I think it's fair to assume that future dips in book, like past dips in book, will all be transient. By extension, when book drops a bit it's most sensible to assume that value hasn't dropped.
... and
SteadyAim: We now have probable buybacks below 1.2 (say) and 1.5 has been close to as high as it gets

With Price/PeakBV around 1.32 we are in the middle of that range => Not a bad entry point to own Berkshire longterm, but not exactly amazingly cheap (that for me would require the around 10% lower price (B's=$280) we've seen in 2021+2022.)
