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.

So SpaceX's market cap has gone up the same amount in two days (a little over a trillion dollars in each case) as Berkshire's entire market cap, despite having started from a nosebleed level. Good for them.

I'd love to buy SPCX, because it looks like easy money, right?

But it reminds me of my GameStop experience. I owned a little bit before it became a meme stock. I sold it on the way up, but of course nowhere near the all time top tick.

And that's the thing with SPCX. Sure, I can buy some today, but how will I know when to get out? I certainly won't get out at the top tick.

And really, how many times can it tack on another trillion dollars in market cap.

So, unfortunately, too hard pile.
