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.

Let’s not forget that Buffett and Munger didn’t have to answer any questions at all. Not this year or the past 60.

It’s in the nature of open mics and emailed questions that silly things do come up. There’s also the annual report and proxy materials one can peruse at their convenience. This management tends to be more than full and fair disclosure.

Was it the worst? The announcement in the last 5 minutes essentially put every shareholder first! Not even the board! That’s a lesson to be etched in history.

Sure, bring on the event planner and the bromides that come with. Just attend any other shareholder meeting to see these.

I just enjoy the meetings and am ever grateful going to them.
