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.

BTW, I suspect when posters here talk about, buying puts, they mean, buying back puts they are short but who knows?

When I said like 2 days ago I bought puts I mean I bought puts. After having sold half of them yesterday I´ll probably sell the other half today/tomorrow --- for a not very pleasant reason.

On the other hand there is also no reason to be sad. What Warren does is just consequential. The era ended before, when he handed over the steering wheel. This is just a consequential and admirable (how many can let go of power?) next step, showing bis trust, saying he sees no need to be himself the "policy the shareholders own".
