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.

what companies in the Nordic countries are the best businesses to invest in?
Good question!
Dunno, but here's a list of the largest ones (:->

And how else could one hedge against possible bad things?
I used to think U.S. treasuries were a pretty good defensive position (along with options on equities).
I'm about half in treasuries and half in equities at the moment, with some puts thrown on top.
Oh yeah, I sold some puts the other day too, the return is good and in worst case I figure the cockroaches who are left will still use Microsoft products.
