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.

That’s a very educational animation because you can see the enthusiasm for certain companies inflating their market cap beyond any sustainable value and you can see companies like Intel and GE hit the wall due to mismanagement.

It’s impressive that BRK can stand out in the crush of giant tech companies that captured the markets that innovation created.

I confess to staying blind to Microsoft’s success mostly because I disliked the company having experienced the negatives from the early days. But a few years ago I went back to living in the Microsoft ecosystem and things have gotten a lot better.
