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.

barchart 52-Week Hi-Lo Nasdaq ($MADQ) was negative starting January 26th. The 9-day weighted average went negative on January 30th. (There are about 2200 Nasdaq stocks, and so the -0.4% BCC trigger is about 10 stocks.) gtr1 [NHNLDiff] might differ from barchart $MADQ.
