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 point of LongTermBRK`s and your exchange was this:

LongTermBRK: What do you think happens to SPY in panic and turmoil?
AdrianC: SPY falls 50%+, and Berkshire falls 50%+. They did in the dotcom era

If even now after looking at your own chart again you still insist that this was the case: So be it.


OK, you're saying though BRK.b did drop 48% in the dot com era, it didn't do it because of the dot com crash. Fair enough.
I mean it was related to that whole mania, right?

Is this better:
What do you think happens to SPY in panic and turmoil?
SPY falls 50%+, and Berkshire falls 50%+. They did in the GFC.
