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.

he might be buying things other than brkb?

Sure. Though I suspect he is not in any big hurry.

If I had to make a wild guess, it would be international booze companies. They are generally extremely good bets over the very long haul, but down a huge amount because of their highly visible exposure to tariffs. (and worries that the world will stop drinking).

Diago DGE:LSE, 34% off its high. Not doing great lately, in a number of different ways. 3.9% div.
Campari CPR:MIL, 49% off its high. 1.2% yield.
Pernod Ricard RI:PAR, 46% off its high Least exposed of these four to US tariffs. 5.3% div.
Remy Cointreau RCO:PAR, 62% off its high. Most exposed of these four to US tariffs. 4.6% div.
