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.

I feel 5-8 are all plausible. I feel the market knows that Berkshire is going to experience a surge in earnings due to a trimming of 40 years of fat by Abel that has accumulated operationally.

Buffett always said he wanted to buy businesses that were so good that monkeys could run them. And I believe many of his acquisitions were excatly that, including the monkeys.

Buffett promised to leave those people alone to do their own thing and he kept that promise. But its a new era and regime at BRK and I believe this is a story that will be told over the coming years, a story that the market may already see unfolding.
