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.

Feels lonely here. Everybody else seems to be buying something. I sold some puts after waking up, unfortunately having missed the start of the session when Berkshire was down much more. I never saw such "erratic" Berkshire quotes, jumping every second 1/2% up and down. It's calmer now it seems.

This btw is my general observation: That in times of turbulence that turbulence mostly happens during the first 1-2h and shortly before the end of the trading sessions and that in between it is calmer.

Would make psychologically sense: People eager to sell after Friday's shock are awaiting impatiently the trading session to open and immediatedly sell - with others using that to buy them. And the ones having missed out finally at the end of the session give up, use the last chance of the day and sell below what they had in mind respectively buy higher than what they had in mind.
