My God, crypto and options strategy on Berkshire.

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.

My God, crypto and options strategy on Berkshire. That seems to be all I am reading about up and down this doggone board. Why not listen to Warren Buffett and just stay put. Inactivity is an excellent strategy. Options are complicated for the vast majority of us on this board and requires enormous learning curve for those who are not comfortable with option strategies -- lots of decisions to make in getting in and getting out. I didn't want to speak up, but buy and hold is something to savor and to respect. Sorry, but I'm getting a bit annoyed with the direction of this board. Sure, I have the ignore feature, but I do highly respect the regular posters on here and will not resort to that feature. But c'mon guys, let's get back on topic.
