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.

“Certainly when you look at foreign holding of USD long term assets that amount is going up quite fast as well…”

Agree. Gemini backs what I’ve heard:

“T-bills (Treasury bills) are currently experiencing exceptionally high popularity and robust demand in recent auctions, characterized by record-setting, oversubscribed, and large-scale sales.”

Buffett himself in recent years thought there was no real concern wrt dollar being the reserve currency for the foreseeable future.

“Warren Buffett maintains that the U.S. dollar will remain the world's primary reserve currency for the foreseeable future, seeing no viable alternatives. While recognizing risks from excessive money printing and potential "de-dollarization" trends, he believes the dollar's dominance is secure due to a lack of better options.”
