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.

Hi ajm101,

Your post deepened my understanding of the value SNOW offers as a business. My current position is pretty modest - 100 shares and has fluctuated over the past 18 months. I began w/small positions(IRA) and was fairly transactional as prices rose quickly and settled down in some succession.

Early on, I took gains (representing the initial capital outlay) to purchase shares of Brk - showing the limits of my conviction that SNOW will meet 3, 5 & 10 year earnings targets to match its valuation. So I'm now basically holding on "house money".

With such a brief holding period and such a limited position, I feel like I've been more lucky than good. Your comments about SNOW's valuation & risk of disruption certainly found their way from ear to mind.

If I've learned anything from this brief holding period, its that entering the position in small bites without a lot at stake gives you the opportunity to stay a bit more detached. I expected some price volatility and told myself I'd siphon any quick gains into Brk where I had real value conviction. This strategy made it easier to follow through on when good fortune came knocking.

Thanks for your post !
