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.

Why would anyone want to invest in the US?

The US culture is very positive towards business opportunism and risk taking.

The value of investments is the accumulated value (growth plus dividends) over not 2 years, but over 15+.

Leadership changes over that time.. but one thing doesn’t change much: Despite the US making consistently immoral and terrible foreign policy decisions for decades, the power structure remains heavily dedicated to investors interests. Public interest - not; investor interests - indeed. I find that unlikely to significantly change.

That constant, along with business value related to what accumulates over decades rather than months or years, is what makes the US remain a great place to invest.
