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.

"...if it's good enough for BRK, it's good enough for us. Who needs Berkshire to exist?"

We all do.

Without a Berkshire, there would be no Buffett to admire, no Annual Report to anticipate, no unique one-of-a-kind business to own a piece of from afar or to gather around in Omaha annually, no Discussion Board to share our thoughts about a common financial interest (thanks, Manlobbi), and no Mungofitch to conduct a free financial master-class for all who will listen. I am thankful that Berkshire exists for all of these reasons and more, and would happily cede a small edge to the S&P500 for the benefits I've received.
