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.

What if one never sold more, as a percentage of their portfolio, than the operating earnings yield of the past 4 quarters? Wouldn’t that help insure a long portfolio life?

Are Berkshire operating earnings per share easily available somewhere? I see the last two quarters were 4.47 and 5.20 per B share according to this cnbc article, but I can’t seem to find a chart anywhere with more historic data.
