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.

" Do we really know what Ted/Todd have contributed to Berkshire? Was Ted really the reason Warren bought Apple? We don’t really know what they have contributed behind the scenes. It’s all conjecture."

Ted was a seller of apple when Buffett became an aggressive buyer. Early on Buffett disclosed how T and T were doing managing our money. Once they started to lag the index, Buffett decided to no longer disclose the info. Selective disclosure is never a great idea. All we knew with certainty is that T and T have lagged the index, Buffett will not disclose by how much. I think failure to disclose is always a mistake, just my opinion.
