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.

msn.com - Buffett s apple share dump is set to reshape major stock gauges

Currently only 94% of Apple's value is used in the SP500 due to Berkshires holdings before the sales. With the sales, 100% of Apple's value will be reflected in the SP500.

From the article:

In the wake of Berkshire’s sale, passive funds tracking these indexes may now have to buy as much as $40 billion of Apple stock when they next rebalance, according to Piper Sandler’s estimates. That’s triple the average daily trading volume of the company’s shares over the past month.

Aussi who is surprised that Berkshire's sale of Apple will result in Apple's weighting being increased in the SP500.
