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.

A dismissive screed in lieu of any math or finance or anything that might even begin to read on whether the analysis presented made the slightest bit of sense or not.

hc:

Given your preference for receiving cash dividend from BRK as opposed to selling each $1 of BRK cash for $1.40 by selling a share of BRK, I'll make you an offer good any time you care to exercise it.

I will be happy to buy your BRK shares from you at BOOK value, as many or as few as you want to sell. You can pretend it is a cash dividend from Berkshire.

Cheers,
