The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" 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.

Their products do not do well outside they US, where their penetration has topped out.

I probably misunderstood Jim's sentence. I understood it as penetration having topped out in the US while he probably means "topped out outside the US", which is exactly what I wrote - - - still I am baffled by the "do not do well outside the US". Growth wise, maybe, but therefore you get moat and unavoidability "forever".



You probably misunderstood it because there is a mistake somewhere in the sentence. It is pretty unusual for Jim to make any grammatical errors, probably because he proofreads and edits much better than I do. But in this case, I think he may mean something completely different from what you have understood, and I suspect it is because a whole phrase disappeared accidently in the editing. Fortunately, no exigisis is necessary, we can just ask the scribe to see what he meant!
