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.

Agree with all of that. But Wow, 50% sell is quite Surprising. I suppose his age, health status, uncertain tax changes/political environment & BRK’s recent strong market price were factors. Ajit could also be making another huge contribution to an institution or a cause that is dear to his heart. Maybe he has also reflected and “won the game” of asset building in life and wants to his ensure future Jain generations and their philanthropic interests will be quite comfortable. I would imagine he had a discussion out of respect with Warren & Greg. I would love to hear his response as to his reasoning as he is refreshingly straightforward in his answers. Very happy for him (and all of us) that his BRK purchases and loyalty have worked out so well.
