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 joke of course is being one of the "BABA bag holders"

investopedia.com - Bag holder

I've sold a tranche or two acquired at c$80 which rallied above $110. I'm not convinced it's a 10 year LTBH any more and may consider cutting my losses on the company at some point.

The split up of the units adds more uncertainty IMO. One of the attractions for me was an Amazon style approach to growth, cross pollination of innovation and the ecosystem across the group, economies of scale and network effects etc etc.

I'll never get attached to a company and will review realistically. It's a tough call.

Thoughts welcome.
