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 wonder if you can say anything trade-worthy about drastic reflexive moves like this?


Well, one possibility: I sold some stuff to raise yet more cash : )

Momentum is a valid approach, stay long till it stops going up. But heck, when somebody offers you a very high price for something you own, it makes sense to at least consider it before turning them down.

Pretty crazy market. BIRD had a market cap around $20m at the start of the week. On Wednesday more dollars worth of BIRD traded yesterday than dollars worth of Exxon. PartAI like it's 1999.

(no, BIRD was not the thing I sold for what I thought was a high price!)
