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.

The interesting thing is that there is a price for everything. It's quite possible that Kraft Heinz is a buy at these levels.

It's still an ongoing business that does make money in general. If this year were neither unusually bad nor unusually good, they'd be making, what, maybe $2.50 a share? EPS has been pretty flat for the last decade (sales too), and that would represent a number near the bottom of the range.

Not my choice, for a variety of reasons, but I think there's a passable chance that it's worth more than the current quote of $22.60 for those who merely think things won't get materially worse.

As there is no obvious reason to expect the price to do well any time soon, and there is a lot of bad sentiment, it might be a good candidate for repeated cash-backed put writing roughly at the money. I imagine that ought to make at least 10%/year without much difficulty, barring a new big leg down in business results.
