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 apologists in brkville doing what they do best, for 25 years!

I am not sure about Berkshire's CAGR for the last 25 years, but I think for the last 10 years it might have been around 10% (or a little more)?

Let's compare this with what Cathy Woods says in an interview I am reading this very moment: "Unsere jährliche Rendite liegt seit der Auflegung bei etwa 10 Prozent."
Translation: "Our CAGR since inception is around 10 percent".

Actually I don't care what T&T did or did not do during those years, if they missed opportunities or no. No apologies needed. I simply prefer to get those 10% from a smooth and calm sailing Berkshire instead of Cathy's wild Bronco ride, even thinking in some ways it might be a positive that it's such a giant (and well setup) tanker that neither T&T nor Warren can move the needle as much as Cathy can easily do that with her Ark Invest. May it continue.
