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.

"Best to just ignore all of the handwringing and come back in a few days when things have settled down..."

That's been my thoughts and actions as well. I haven't worried, lost sleep, or even gotten tipsy. Life really is too short (believe me...I have stories, as I'm sure we all do!).

Other than providing excerpts from Warren's 2003 Squandersville article, I haven't commented much if anything on tariffs or politics etc. I have my thoughts but I've managed to keep them to myself, by almost biting my tongue off!

I haven't been buying or selling much of anything (other than trading short-term T-Bllls as they matured). I did sell the small amount of OXY I had in a taxable account to harvest a tax loss, but I did keep the little OXY I have in an IRA.

Being fat, dumb, and happy does have its benefits at times!

Don't worry about this stuff, it will all work out...
