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.

" Summary
2026 has a reasonably high likelihood of being a turning point after 3 years of strong gains not fully supported by fundamentals.
A JPMorgan dot plot graph shows that when the market P/E reaches 23, there has invariably been a decade of +2% to -2% cumulative returns.
2026 has a close resemblance of 2000, when the dot-com melt-up finally came apart and the market crashed and remained down for a decade.
Alternatives include foreign stocks, bonds, and Quality/Value stocks.
The Vanguard Value Index Fund ETF is composed of Quality/Value stocks and is a source to look for individual stocks."
