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.

“ Under SEC Rule 10b-18, a public company buying back its stock on the open market generally cannot purchase more than 25% of the stock's Average Daily Trading Volume (ADTV) in a single day. The ADTV is typically calculated based on the preceding four calendar weeks.While this 25% volume limit applies to regular daily open-market repurchases, a company can alternatively execute one "block trade" per week outside of this volume restriction. A block trade is broadly defined as a single transaction of at least 5,000 shares with a value of $50,000 or more.“ I’ll be very surprised if Brk wasn’t the buyer of 2.6 million Bs on Friday May 29th at 474.45.
