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.

Isn't your premise a rational investment concept? Key question: How long can it last?

First part of your question, Draft Kings is publicly held, DKNG, Fanduel is owned by Flutter Entertainment, which is publicly held (FLUT) DKNG set a new 52 week low today, as did FLUT. As we know, you can still go bankrupt, when your business is taking people's money, for nothing.

Second part: my point was more a thought of the US' increasing focus on "bread and circuses", vs productive endeavor.

Third part: we're frelled.
