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.

<<“It’s very tough to just, in Charlie’s words “hold the damn stock”. Few can do that.”

I’m pasting this quote above my desktop 🖥 where I’ll see it every time I logon to my accounts and get itchy fingers on the keyboard.

Hypocrite though I am, I have nevertheless finally set limit orders that may soon get filled for both my ROTH and 401k, after 26 years of sitting on my hands. Its been quite a ride.>>>


That’s very kind of you to say. You’re not a hypocrite, I do the very same thing. You sound like a kind and generous soul—you’ll be glad I help your economy…occasionally buying a new car or a TV (pocket the tax savings) or a few bottles of cheap untaxed booze in Nashua. Value investing is a lifestyle lol. Honored you’re saving the quote. Glad I could re-print a timeless Charlie classic,
