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'm actually more disappointed with the recent additions of Wally Weitz and Chris Davis than another Buffett progeny to the BOD. With Buffet progeny I at least feel I know why they are there. Including Meryl Witmer, there are now three professional money managers on the BOD, and don't know what diversity of talent or experience they bring.

I would have preferred someone with more experience running big global corporation like Indira Nooyi. With Bill Gates's departure, maybe someone with background in software, internet etc. Someone like Jeff Bezos, Tim Cook or Morris Chang.
