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.

dealraker: "Half a century later I've never-ever known anyone who got wealthy or did well financially by holding huge amounts of cash waiting for the big drawdown to invest in low debt high quality stocks..." Well stated. Most of us know that Buffett should have been buying back brk at, a material discount to IV, starting at least 20 years ago. Even 1-3 billion a year would have made a dramatic difference. However,Buffett and Munger have effectively worked for free, for 50 years ,hence, we can't complain much.I'll never understand why Buffett was willing to sell his life's work so cheaply beginning in 2008 via the foundations? A huge unforced error on his part.
