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.

We all hope Berkshire will hold up better or at least recover quicker. Different beast now, though.

As I pointed out earlier in the thread, Berkshire is a vastly different animal now than in 2000 or even 2008. To make assumptions about what can happen to Berkshire stock during a big drawdown in the broader market based on 2000 or 2008 is fool's errand IMHO. We should all just take a deep breadth & relax. My own plan is to just go with the flow and take the ups and downs as they come; and to let Greg and Warren worry about compounding our equity long term.

I think the great Greek philospher Heraclitus said it best: "No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it is not the same river and he is not the same man."
