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.

Hadn’t realised Berkshire has sold 2/3rds of the position. Thought it was less than that. Will have a look.

Regarding financing the business with creditors other than debt. Yes that seems to be what’s happening on the face of it. But I am intrigued as to how they can do that. Who is giving them this cheap source of finance? Trade creditors? Related party entities? CCP? I suspect its factor construction related. Anyway, just shows you why Buffett recommends us little people just buy an index.
