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.

The dum dum investment advisor performed poorly compared to his small cap index fund bench marks and now he is whining.

Stock market returns are not normally distributed and never have been. I believe 100% of all stock market returns in the USA have come from about 4% of all stocks. Most stocks return less than treasuries.

There is nothing new about this and certainly nothing "alarming."

We know he is a super dum dum because his newsletter injects irrelevant politics into his pseudo-investment analysis.

He is just appealing to the Leftist wealthy liberal dum dums that he perceives to be his target market.

You know--YOU guys.

The dum dums.
