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.

< Whatever rnam, the board it Jim's and it is what it is. Again we are focused on very short term here and that's the game. It is in-and-out and post up the outcome.

So years pass and we do KMX and DG, they turn out poor for those playing follow the expert (or the superior mind as smurf calls it) but at least we all did it, so there's consistency, social proof, and reciprocity in the back and forth compliments.>

A little strange here. In the first paragraph, you emphasize long term, and immediately you are using short term result to rail against an investment idea. Who is to say KMX and DG won't follow the price pattern of META in the past year?
