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.

Thanks Texirish for sharing your BRK memories. I’d love to time travel as see what it was like back in the old days. Andy is a fantastic human being and the Berkshire historian and full of great stories. I always buy his latest Of Permanent Value edition-so good!

I’m leaving for Omaha tomorrow & been to the BRK weekend the last 4 years. I truly love the whole weekend. Beyond the huge CHI shareholders mtg, my agenda usually includes:

Drinks & Steak Dinners with friends
Chatting in Hilton bar/ lounge area & spotting “VIP”s
Stroll in Warren’s Dundee neighborhood, incl. WEB’s house
CHI Exhibition Hall roaming & shopping & talking with managers
Gabelli Conf. (Hilton)
Guy Spier VALUEx Conf. (Marriott)
Markel Dinner (Marriott)
Pre-meeting early CHI Center gathering & chatting (North entrance)
Markel Brunch meeting (Marriott)
Borsheims/NFM shopping
Walking around the Old Market
Visiting & sight seeing with a couple old school Omaha-based shareholders

We stay busy but the pilgrimage and whole weekend are so much fun. Obviously we lost Charlie and Warren’s ongoing active leadership is uncertain, so I appreciate these moments and sharing them with like minded owners and friends even more. We are all quite fortunate. Enjoy the meeting!
