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.

" If I were to put my money into this, they would take 2% of the total off the top? I'd be paying them more than I "pay myself", and I would have to spend 3.8% a year instead of 1.8% a year. That seems insane to me."


Did you watch the interview? Has it occurred to you that a few people in the industry actually earn their fees? Years ago, I could have invested in Steve Cohens hedge fund, it was 2 and 20 back then. HUGE mistake that I didn't. Ron Baron is one of the few who beat the index, BUT, he was way overweight Musk, that took serious, pickleballs. He earned his 1 %, it's hard to bet on the winners tho. In 5 years, we can revisit psus and we will see how Ackman has done.
