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 simple reason that the originators of individual trades are not disclosed is the same reason the length of Mr Buffett's lunch is not disclosed: we have no inherent right to that information, and it could conceivably be to the detriment of the firm somehow if publicised.

This is absolutely ludicrous. Buffett's lunch is none of my business. Todd or Ted screwing up is absolutely my business. Please. If say Todd Combs (more likely than Ted Weschler) makes dumb decisions, I as a shareholder have a right to demand that Berkshire at least keep a tighter leash on him. Whether they do or not will decide my allocation to Berkshire and indirectly my retirement. This is not a game.
