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.

Updating this thread for future reference.

From the recent annual report, BRK shareholders' equity is $649,368,000,000 and equivalent Class A stock basis is 1,438,223 so the book value per A share is $451,507.17. This is also the new Peak Book value.

At a current price of $752,405 per A share, the current Price to Peak Book is 1.67, which is on the high side.

Calculating this for myself, reading mungo and others, and considering the potential for flat or negative returns in the near future from BRK, makes me consider selling some and doing something else with the money. But, I also am trying to be better about just holding the damn stock.
