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.

usa brokers dont want to produce thedocumentation needed, so ....also in many jurisdictions abroad you cant hold mutual funds, or ETF's etc, not recognized...so Uncle Sam wants his cut (citizen based taxation) but you cannot really manage your wealth....its completely crazy ! Thats also why BRK is so good.. I have heard that IBKR will allow but its domiciled in Ireland...adds another layer of complexity if thats not where you live....be glad if anyone can tell me different, but I have spoken to my brokerages and tax advisors... and nope....
