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 totally agree. I've been looking at these "old favourites" (Nestle was also touted as a buy and hold forever at the right price) at around 20x earnings and it's held by some of the super investors, however, I can't get excited about the future returns when there's tech companies with little debt and moats trading at single digit earnings and PCFC. I think Tecmo highlighted the the Kraft / Heinz example too. After reviewing them all If I was to dip a toe in this space it would be Diageo where the eps growth potential is greater IMO.

I'm sticking to Berkshire and Moaty tech in the US and China. Perhaps I need to diversify more? or like the FANG stocks anything else is deworsifying! These tech cos have terrific growth and runway potential.
